Sunless Tanning and Stretch Marks

Does sunless tanning help fading stretch marks? Yes it does to a certain extent for me. But that doesn't have to mean it will work for someone else too.

I think it depends on the skin type and on the stretch marks themselves. My experiences with using a sunless tanning lotion is that it works better on younger striae. Generally the older the stretch marks are the more white they get. This is due to a loss of pigmentation if I am correct. In my case these tended to get more noticeable or their appearance stayed the same while the more pinkish colored marks faded after applying sunless tanning lotion. This effect is stronger when I tanned the natural way. I also noticed that exfoliating really is important. The results are less satisfying if you don't.

So in conclusion it might help a little but at the end of the day you'll have to try it yourself in order to find out in what matter. Maybe you already use a product you are satisfied with but I know I have searched for a good product for a while so here some info on my favorite non orange self tanning lotion.
