Stretch Marks Vs. Tanning Beds Posted: 01-04-06 16:05pm
I had a baby not to long ago and i've been
using a cream for my stretch marks there
not bad by the way, they are getting
lighter, and i've been wanting to go to
the tanning beds to get a tan but i'm
worried that if I go that my marks will
get dark again? Is that possible?
And should I or shouldn't I go, since
there still lightly there? Any one?

Sorry, I don't have any advice but I would
also like advice on this! I heard two
different things 1-they make your marks
stand out more or 2-they make them blend
in....So which is it?? I have bad stretch
marks on my hips!

girl, I do to, are you using that barmons
cream? It works good, I really like it,
i'm on my second tube, it's not alot just
25 dollars a tube but anyways, noone is
helping us with this question lol that
sucks, maybe I should as a doctor or
something, I haven't heard anything about
if it will make them worse, or if they
will make them blend together, but
hopefully somebody knows... I would
think it would make them worse though cuz
when you go tanning it darkens your skin
and freckles so maybe it will do that to
it to, but I hope not.

I have heard that tanning beds do not help
because the stretch marks won't tan like
the rest of your skin, so they may stand
out more. However, I have also heard
that sunless tanning lotions can help them
blend in.

Where can you get the barmons cream at
because I have bad stretch marks on my
hips, and my legs. I use that palmers
crap but it dont work all that well. It
made them a little brighter and smaller
but that was it. I know that their not
going to go away permanetly unless I do
some laser stuff but it sounds like the
cream really helps you and maybe it could
help me too?! Thanks :d

You may want to ask the suntan bed people
themselves - i'm sure they will know the
answer.
Have you thought about trying a spray tan,
cos this would conceal the stretch marks
more I think.

its "http://www.Barmon.Com/" and check out
the pictures on there, it does work really
good. It takes like 3 weeks for it to
come in though (feels like forever) but
it's worth it, let me know how it all goes
and good luck with that!!

i have tried asking the people that work
at the tanning place, and they have no
idea, I have tried the spray on but I dont
like the streaking and the smell... But I
guess that's what i'm gonna have to use
for a while... Thanks for the reply!!

I have quite a bit of stretchmarks and
i've found that going to a tanning bed
helps them blend in. It may just be me,
but it's the best thing that has worked
for me. I've tried mederma and palmer's,
which didn't work for me. I'll
definitely try this barmons cream. The
tanning helped blend them in, even though
they were still lightly there. Hope this
helps! :-)

Go Tan! Posted: 01-26-06 16:51pm
I have strech marks that got as light as
they could with cream and I noticed that
direct sunlight brings out the marks but
the tanning bed hides them the best that
you can!!!!! It really works!!!!!! I
would not show my self on the beach if it
did not!!!!! :d :d :!: :d
