Stretch mark cream used by models

Stretch marks cause a lot of anxiety to mostly women but some men also may suffer from stretch marks, particular when they are young and growing rapidly. Anita in Sioux Falls is asking, "I watch television and look at the models in magazines and it seems that no one seems to have any stretch marks. Am I the only one to have them then? What do models do to hide their stretch marks? I want to buy the same stretch marks cream that they use."

No, you are not the only one to have stretch marks. Almost all women, including models, movie stars, and celebrities have stretch marks. (Related article: Stretch marks in teenagers)

What do models do to get rid of stretch marks?

1. Something very important to know right away: what you see on television or in magazines is not what is really there. Today's sophisticated technology allows the producers to eliminate any "ugly" parts from a flawless skin on television, that is not how she is in real life.
2. If you have stretch marks in a very prominent part of the body and you do not want to go through surgery or laser treatments, then you can apply water-proof makeup to hide it when you have to.
3. Similarly you can use a self tanner to hide the stretch marks.
4. There are several stretch marks creams that are on the market, e.g., Strivectin-SD, Zenmed stretch mark cream, Trilastin, Striae, Mustela, Decleor, Barmon, and many others. While these creams do show some marginal improvement (particularly if your stretch marks are not too bad), they do not completely remove them as some manufacturers claim. However, there is no harm in trying.
