hey ladies. since i was young my weight has fluctuated loads. in the last year my weight snuck up to 12stone from 10. ive managed to lose that 2 stone but im now left with stretch marks on the insides of my arms. totally bummed out as you can imagine. ive tried bio-oil with no luck and palmers only helped a little bit. has any one got any suggestions? xx

bio oil didnt work for me. it was just greasy. im at a loss of what to try. i was recommended something at the chemist but its 22quid! i dont think so! xx

you can get some really good cover up make up, could be worth a try? x

I am very pale, so things like that show on me. Although will be getting regular spray tans before the wedding to try and build up some kind of colour instead of being practically blue!

lol, i know the feeling, i never tan either and H2B refers to me as his milk bottle lol, i thought about having a spray tan for the wedding but think i may look odd since i have never been brown before lol x
CommentAuthorlinzi
my SIL2B does spray tanning. So I have had a few from her, and got the lowest number she does (a number 8) and it looks ok. I went for a number 10 which is the next one up once, and it still looked natural on me. I wouldnt go any darker than that tho!

i might just give it a go then, well in advance of our wedding though, just in case!!! lol x
CommentAuthorlinzi
just ask for the lowest one to start with. Then you will see how you feel about going a bit darker. They can get addictive tho! If i had the money i would get one a week!

ive tried everything and so far nothing has worked. overtime my stretch marks from having my kids have faded but i dont think thats anything to do with the creams and oils ive tried.x

Vitamin e oil is really good x
CommentAuthorclarkweddingseptembe
I have massive problems with stretch marks I have them all under my arms, boobs, belly, legs even behind my knees and after trying bio oil and all the other 'fad' products I actually gave something strange a go!! I tried sudocrem as it always works wonders for my sons skin and low and behold they have faded dramatically!!! not completley but enought to make me feel more confident. I know its thick and quite hard to rub in sometimes but with much perserverance it has finally paid off
hope this helps xxxxx
CommentAuthorJane
Sudocrem? Really? Well I never! Have some in the bathroom so will give it a go, not got too many visible ones but will try it on the ones I have just to see if it works! Shame it smells so naff!
CommentAuthorsteffi
Bio oil is useless! I am covered in stretchmarks n it didnt do a thing for me! May try sudocrem... I have a scar on my chin too from climbin thro kitchen window half cut after i locked myself out! wonder if it will work for that too?!
CommentAuthor*Vixie*
id never thought of trying sudocrem. ill give that a go. thanks ladies xx
CommentAuthorsarahwasabride
i might give sudocrem a go ive got stretchmarks on arms, belly, boobs and some on legs where ive been big then smaller then bigger and smaller lol xx
CommentAuthor*Vixie*
the ones on my arms are more stubbourn than my others. for the ones on my legs i found that soap and glory firminator was brill. wasnt ment for scars but worked a treat. shame it didnt work on my arms too. xx
CommentAuthoralimarie05
if your going for a spray tan hun, just be careful that its not going to rub off on your dress, the last thing that you want is marks all over it. i would say its the best option though if they really bother you. ive got a few stretchmarks but they are all covered up so they dont bother me too much. good luck hun, you'll have to let us know if the sudocrem thing works if got a nice big tub in teh bathroom :) x

try a sun bed,,believe it or not it actually helped mine,especially if you dont want to wear sleeves as alot of brides like myself wish to,,also the spray tan i had covered them,feel free to look at my pics and take a look edited to add i had a spray tan for my wedding day,i had it on the wednesday so i had plenty of time to wash all the residue off it didnt mark my dress and it did hide my stretch marks
