Stretch marks are an inevitable result of pregnancy or rapid weight loss for some men and women. However, the following steps may help you reduce their appearance.\nInstructions \nSTEP 1: Brush your skin with a loofah or skin brush when you shower to stimulate circulation. STEP 2: Massage cocoa butter into the stretch marks. STEP 3: Use vitamin E oil on your stretch marks. Massage it into your skin after a shower. STEP 4: Talk to your doctor about using tretinoin cream on stretch marks. It is available by prescription only. STEP 5: Eat foods high in vitamins A, E and C (see Related eHows), or take supplements in addition to your diet. However, pregnant women should avoid taking more than 25,000 IU of vitamin A. STEP 6: Add foods or supplements to your diet that are high in zinc (see Related eHow), which is good for the skin, and silica (beets, brown rice, bell peppers, soybeans, leafy green vegetables and whole grains), which helps form collagen, the supporting fibers in the skin. STEP 7: Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids, which help make cell walls. Essential fatty acids can be found in many vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils. Tips & Warnings \nLasers have shown some promise in reducing the appearance of stretch marks. They seem to work best on stretch marks that are still fairly new and are red or purple in color. \nCheck your local supermarket or drugstore for commercial creams such as Belly Butter, a moisturizing and replenishing maternity body cream. \nAlways consult your doctor or a medical professional before making changes to your diet.

Yeah, cocoa butter and Vitamin E.  Palmers makes a formula especially designed to help heal stretch marks.  Just remember that these products must be used several times a day for several months before you see results.

My mom works for Elizabeth Arden and she is also dark skinned. She usually uses bronzing powder or cream cover-up. Sometimes the cover-up can get heavy so I would suggest using bronzer or some type of concealer.

Theres a make-up - I think it's called "dermablend" and it's used to cover scars and tattoos.  You can get it at JC Penney I think - or maybe Macy's.  You might wanna check online or call some of your local department stores and ask the cosmetics department.

well, make a mixture of turmeric powder and chik pea powder, mix well and store in a container, which is absolutely dry. while using, wet face lightly, spread it evenly over the affected area and scrub well, not too hard though. use it as a replacement for a face wash. it also removes facial hair and brightens the skin. make sure you don't accidentally apply it on your brows or your hairline. another option is coconut oil. it can cure anything. whether a burnt mark, or nail marks, even stretch marks! but stretch marks take time! even brightens dark areas.

This is a great pressed powder that it totally Matt and has no "shimmer/sparkle) so great for men. And it's also great for people with demalogical problems.\n\nhttp://www.sallyhansenhealingbeauty.com/hb_powders.htm\n\nBut if you are looking for something with a little more cover-up\n\nhttp://www.dermablend.co.uk/\n\nThis is the Creme-de-la-creme of concealer products. It's what people use with scarring and tatoos. Only heavy if you apply if thick. \n\nHow to Apply:\n\n1. For a natural look your foundation must match your skin tone.\nTest foundations along your jawline. You will know the best color because it will disappear into your skin. \n\n2. Spread foundation on your hands and pat it on your face, then smooth out with a sponge making sure not to pull or stretch the skin. Be extra careful in the area around your eyes where the skin is super thin. Don't forget to apply foundation on your eyelids and lips.\n\n3. To make foundation last apply moisturizer first giving the foundation a base.\nDry skin will soak up the foundation if not given that base. For oily skin use an oil-free moisturizer and powder foundation.\n\n4. On hot days foundation can be difficult to keep looking fresh.\nSet your foundation in the morning using a loose powder and puff, then do regular touch ups throughout the day.\n\n5. To cover imperfections apply foundation first and then go back and dot on a concealer that neutralizes red. For noticeable imperfections like very dark circles and birthmarks use a yellow concealer. Don't use too much powder in problem areas because it will draw attention to it.\n\n6. To avoid a foundation line around the jaw apply foundation as usual then use a little moisturizer in your hand and blend it down your neck.\n\n7. For evening mix some shimmer powder with your powder and put it where you want to attract light such as the bridge of the nose, underneath the brow bone, the temples, cheekbone, chin and shoulders.\n\n8. Always use a foundation with a sunscreen of at least 15 to prevent future sun damage.\n\n9. Change your foundation shade if the color of your skin changes.\n\n10. After you apply foundation go near a window to make sure it looks natural. Natural light is the ultimate test.\n\nAlso there are different things you can use to apply the make-up. Fingertips, Sponges or brushes.\n\nI would recomend a Foundation Brush. Fingertips is not the most hygenic way of doing it but some people prefer this. Sponges can aslo harbour bacteria if not washed out regularly.\n\n\n\nYou can probably pick on up for less than this but it gives you an idea of what they look like.\n\nhttp://www.smashbox.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/categoryID/b42416c9-d164-4844-8cb6-f9030c3f893a/productID/92c9fe49-28b5-4cf8-9614-b551ec387bca/\n\nThis is the brush I have and it was pricey but applies the foundation flawlessly!\n\nHere below are some ways of keeping your skin soft during the winter months:\n\nDrink up. Counter dry air and the associated irritations by drinking more fluids. Water is the best choice. Low-fat milk, fruit juice and other drinks without caffeine are OK, too. Even soups and broths can help. \n\nShower smart. Short baths or showers are easier on dry skin than are long soaks. Use only mild soap or synthetic detergent. The temperature matters, too. Use warm — not hot — water. If your skin is very dry, bathing every other day may be best. \n\nMoisturize. After bathing, gently pat your skin dry. Lather up with moisturizer while your skin is still damp. Thick, greasy moisturizers work best. You may want to look for cosmetics that contain moisturizers, too. \n\nLube your lips. Use lip balm or petrolatum (Vaseline) to soothe chapped or sore lips. \n\nTry saline nasal spray. An over-the-counter saline nasal spray can help moisten your nasal passages. Saline sprays can be used as often as needed until your symptoms improve. \n\nUse a humidifier. A portable home humidifier or one attached to your furnac

One word: Strivectin. And, its been reappropriated by the pretty people as a fantastic facial wrinkle cream. Everyone I know swears by it. Banish the stretch marks and forego the Preparation-H. All at the same time. :-)

There is a cover up cream for vericose veins that should do the trick. It's rather pricey but I've seen people who've used it and it's some amazing stuff. \n  You know.. you really shouldn't worry about the spots on your legs. You have just as much right to wear shorts as anyone else does. If they don't want to look at your legs, then they don't have too. I've seen all kinds of people wearing shorts from people with fat rolls, vericose veins, scars and everything else and it's never bothered me or anyone else I know.  People probably won't even be looking at your legs so why suffer in the heat over something as silly as chicken pox scars? \n  You're not alive simply for others to look at, you're alive to make yourself happy so stop making yourself miserable. I'll bet that if you went out for a month in your shorts and skirt, you would stop worrying so much about your legs. I'll bet the only ones who even notice are short folks.

I used to body build and stretch marks are a no no...you need to buy vitamin E enriched lotion and apply it to the area every chance you get.  Taking vitamin E pills will also help.
