Make-Up to cover the dreaded Stretch Marks

    I'm only 18 but have to deal with strech marks on the back of my knees, I guess due to a growth spurth during teens or something? I don't know :confused:

    Whatever the reason, its a mighty pain in the hole!

    I've looked online for things to cover it cause I get so self-conscience wearing dresses, especially when I tan my legs which just magnifies the marks!
    I've heard Dermablend mentioned the most but it seems only in America you can get the leg and body cover, seems Dublin pharmacies just do the face concealers which I don't know if they'd work and they're far too pricey and bring home and find out my suspicions were right.

    Anyone have any other suggestions??

    The Sally Hansen Tan you get in chemists. It's like a foundation for legs. Comes in loads of different colours and stays put.

    i'd also recommend trying some bio-oil on your strech marks to help fade them i have a good few strech marks from weight gain then loss & i swear by it :) it'll help them fade to a silver colour.

    Thanks for the tips!
    I tried the Sally Henson one in nude which covered them up but my legs are too pale to be shown tanless so.. catch 22. Then I tried the one in light tan and that just enhanced the white colour of the marks :(

    I'll give that bio oil a shot, thanks!
