Ways to remove stretch marks

One of the most annoying things to deal with after pregnancy is the stretch marks left behind after it's over. If you're like most women, you don't want your stretch marks to been seen by everyone around you, so here are a few methods that can be used to hide stretch marks: 1. Cover them with clothing Probably the most obvious way to hide stretch marks is to cover them with clothing. Wear a normal-length shirt that covers everything and they simply won't be seen. This is the easiest way, since you don't have to do anything more than you would already. It does limit your choice in clothes, however. If you would like to wear midriff revealing clothes, or need to hide your stretch marks in other situations where they can't be covered with clothing, one of the other ways would be more useful.

2. Apply makeup to them You could cover your stretch marks with makeup, the way you would a scar on your face. If you do it this way, you won't need to limit the clothing you wear. Concealer works well for this, though it'll need to be the heavy-duty kind and you'll likely need ALOT of it, depending on the amount of marks you have and the size they are. There's also the potential for the concealer to rub off on clothing, so keep that in mind. This method is good if you only need to hide your stretch marks every once in a while, but it could get expensive fast.

3. Apply henna tattoos over them This method is a little unusual, but it has its advantages over plain concealer. Henna tattoos aren't that hard to do, and you end up with an actual design over the marks instead of just a coverup. Henna stains everything it touches, so you would have to be careful while applying it, but after the tattoo dried there wouldn't be any risk of it getting on your clothes the way there would be with makeup.

The tattoo would also last for several days, so you wouldn't have to reapply it the way you would the makeup, and your stretch marks would still be hidden even after a bath or shower. This is a somewhat more complicated process than applying concealer and it would take a little while to learn to do it quickly. Note: this only works with henna tattoos; normal tattoos done with a needle are difficult to do over stretch marks (or scars in general), and they aren't recommended since they often don't come out well.

There are very few ways to truly hide stretch marks. Each has its set of disadvantages, making hiding stretch marks only a temporary solution at best. In the long term, it's better to work on eliminating the stretch marks entirely.
