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.

I hate strech marks! I have them alllllllllll over me.... luckily the only place I don't have them is on my face hands legs and feet (: you just have to learn to live with them but I've learned that lotion helps a little and I've heard petroleum jelly works.. but I've only heard not quite sure...... (: but you know stretch marks don't mean ur fat it just mean ur growing! Laughing

I have strech marks on the inside of my thighs, hips, and behind my kneecap. I even have one faint one on my kneecap! after buying expensive stuff, i realized regualar lotion helped best! Bio-Oil helped alot too on my hips and bahind my knee. Lotion works best on thighs. they were bad a year or two ago, but now im not as selef conscious although my hips dont look much better since i ran out of Bio Oil. haha i just get used to it(:

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
