How can I hide stretch marks?

I’m getting stretch marks on my legs, which is weird because I haven’t really been growing much lately.  They are deep and purplish right now and it’s embarrassing.  My shorts have to be long enough to hide them, and warm weather is approaching.  HELP!


Even though you may not see a huge difference in your height or weight, you are growing.  You’re at the age when your body’s going through a ton of changes…even if you can’t see them.  That’s why you’re getting stretch marks.  But don’t worry, girl, you’re not alone.

 

We know it’s kinda embarrassing, but unfortunately, stretch marks can be kinda tough to get rid of.  Some people say using cocoa butter helps ‘em fade.  Try talking to your mom and a dermatologist about creams and lotions that might help you out.

 

Trust us though, in time, they will fade. In the meantime, stock up on cute not-too-short dresses and shorts—wardrobe staples! While you’re at it, use this as an excuse to get a colorful, super-stylish maxi skirt too. There are plenty of options out there that’ll keep you from being self-conscious and way stylish. Just keep your chin up and give it time.

MOD! okay so my skin is a bit oily but has some dry spots. i dont have a cleanser or anything i just use water. i get occasional pimples that are small that arent mcuh a problem. well i have a pimple on my chin that was big and red. now the top of it is white and it looks gross. i dont want to pop it because i heard it leaves scars. i also dont want to pop it because idk how to. what can i do? thanks! (:

 

 

Hey girly girl! I'd start using some facewash to avoid blemishes and pimples. To reduce the swelling, you can place a hot, wet rag on your pimple for a little while. And, if you can run to the store, grab some spot treatment. My favorite is Terminator 10. Lots of girls swear by toothpaste on pimples too, to reduce swelling.

Hey Girlie,

Stretch marks are usually fine red or purplish lines that can appear on your legs or abdomen. Stretch marks occur when your skin is overstretched; in teens stretchmarks sometimes occur because your body is growing so rapidly.
