Fake tan, stretch marks and you
Stretch marks are one of those pesky things that most women get and unfortunately they are irreversible once you have them. But that doesn't mean you've got to hide yourself forever under baggy jumpers and trousers. Sunless tan can aid in reducing the appearance of stretch marks on any part of your body, so that you can wear those skirts and silky blouses with pride.
Stretch marks can affect anyone, whether it is a woman during or post pregnancy or a teen in puberty. Stretch marks are are a nightmare for all of us. However, the key is to not let them stop you from wearing what you want to wear and to not let them make you feel insecure, especially young women who are more than entitled to flash a little bit of skin on a night out.
The most common areas that are prone to stretch marks are the stomach, sides, tops of arms and backs of legs; so it is important to take care of these areas if considering applying fake tan. Exfoliate and remove hair at least 24 hours before applying tan and make sure that your body is fully moisturised, taking extra care of any areas where you have stretch marks. Choosing the right fake tan to cover the marks is important, as you don't want to risk making them more noticeable.
Developing lotions and mousses are the great products to use to cover them as they are moist on the skin. Apply the fake tan to all of your nooks and crannies, taking care of the affected areas, leave for 4-8 hours depending on the shade of bronze that you desire and then simply wash off. Ensure that you apply moisturiser after your bath/shower to stop your tan from drying out. It is probably best to put a little extra tan around any areas that you have stretch marks as they need to be regularly nourished.
Of course, you may have never tanned before and want to seek a professional to do this for you. In this case a spray tan may be best for you as it will give you an airbrushed look. Similar to the products that you use at home; you must exfoliate, remove hair and thoroughly moisturise 24 hours prior to being sprayed, this will help the tan to adapt to the skin better. You can choose the shade that would best suit you, whether you want to have a golden glow or be a bronzed babe and a tanning professional will airbrush you with the spray gun, blending in the tan on your affected areas. This type of fake tan can be found throughout the UK whether it is Manchester, Liverpool or London or anywhere else in the UK. This process is also great for sensitive skin as spray tans usually contain many natural ingredients, so you won't have to worry about having lots of chemicals sprayed onto you.
After you have had your fake tan your stretch marks should be a lot less visible, allowing you to wear a shorter skirt without worrying about the backs of your legs being exposed and you can wave your arms around without panicking that people are going to notice that you may have a few lines around the top of them. Feel confident in your new bronze skin and don't let those stretch marks get you down, the best of us suffer from them and whilst you can't remove them, you can cover them, don't let them get the best of you!
