If you want to enjoy a cool swim on beaches during summertime wearing sexy swimwear, but have to hold back due to stretch marks, it is really very painful. Well, it is true that stretch marks are sometimes irremovable, but good news is they can be effectively hidden for which there are several ways. E.g. if you cannot get rid of stretch marks on your thighs, you can wear shorts to cover them. Moreover, you can also try to fade stretch marks to get encouraging results. Here are some solutions using which you won’t have to keep yourself away from oceans, pools and lakes this summer.
Don’t Be Stressed
First of all, remove the stress and worry from your mind that stretch marks will remain there permanently. Mostly they will become lighter and even ultimately vanish over time. Carefully observe them. They look like purplish or reddish lines. When you observe them after some days, you will find them to become less purplish or reddish, and the skin there almost similar to the surrounding skin. And more encouraging is the fact that if you spend most of your summer in a swimsuit, they will become less noticeable.
Understand that They are Normal
You should understand that stretch marks are absolutely normal. During puberty, a lot of people get them. It is not that you are the only sufferer. You find them problematic only because they are unsightly. But they are not harmful by any way.
Products to Lighten Them
Good news! There are substances through which you can lighten your stretch marks. They are coco butter, bio oil, vitamin E, shea butter and many other effective moisturizers. You can get these in any medicine stores and body care shops. Please note that coco butter is not proven by scientific studies to reduce stretch marks. However, it prevents formation of new marks by moisturizing the skin and increasing elasticity. Caffeine cream works effectively though but should be applied constantly.
Sunless Tanning
Sunless tanning sprays and lotions are effective to cover stretch marks in many people. You can get them over the counter.
Know the Various Alternatives Available
There are many treatments available today that can reduce the looks of stretch marks. Get more information about them through your doctor. They range from actual surgery to methods like microdermabrasion and laser treatment.
Take Care of Blood Circulation
Stretch marks are actually ruptured skin. If you take care of blood circulation in that area, the cell turnover there will increase and skin will heal faster to make the marks lightened. For this exercise regularly and have a daily massage. Use of an exfoliating product or a salt scrub will also help to increase the blood circulation.
Hide Stretch Marks
By the time you try to lighten your stretch marks, it is not necessary that you prevent yourself from going to beaches. You can go there and enjoy a refreshing swim by all means, by wearing swimsuits that will hide your marks. As told earlier, choose a swimsuit with shorts to hide stretch marks on thighs. Today there are so many different styles available in swimwear, that you can always look ravishing in them by hiding your marks effectively.
