Tanning..

[Drunken_Weasel]

Tanning helps to hide stretch marks right? I hate my body for the fact that it has a large amount of stretchmarks. I got fat fast when I was a little kid, and although I have a considerable amount of weight, the stretchmarks make me hate myself still. If I were to go use a tanning bed, would it Make them apear a bit less?

Btw. I am very, very very white. Seeing as how I hate my body, I don't/didn't go out in the sun without a shirt.

tanning does help a bit,but they will never truelly go away without laser removal.

Tanning is the poor mans plastic surgey brother. I have serious dark circles under my eyes. It goes with the ethnicity(Italian), and I tan my ass off to get some color into the other parts of my face, in order to hide them. It works well actually. Same goes for helping with your complection if you have zits/acne.

Anyone know how much it costs, and what the proper way of tanning in a salon would be? I know I have one locally, and will make my way there soon.

Listen man. Lay out in your back yard, or on the roof or something if you dont want people to see you. The sun is the best tanner. Salons pale in comparison. If you have to go to a salon, go in a high intensity bed for a short period of time. Its more expensive, but you will get a much better tan, which is more of a browning than a redness\burn . I was white as fuck when i came off accutane, and didnt want to go to the beach or the pool. Just laid out back of the house a couple times over a 2 week period, and now i am back to my tan, italian stud looking self.

I wouldn't say that lying out is the best way to go imo bro, so I respectfully disagree. First of all bro, two words....OZONE LAYER! Ok, let me add two more.....NOT THERE!. So there's one reason for hitting the salon, unless you think that the Malenoma look is en vogue. Second of all, I(just me personally) tend to peel ALL THE TIME when I get an outside tan, wereas I never do with the beds, no matter how dark I get.

hmm 1 on each side of the spectrum, I guess I will wait for more input

I suggest a mystic tan, its available at most tanning salons, its more expensive, but its safer, and looks pretty good, instead of baking you like a bed or the sun, its a spray that dyes your skin, its what the celebrities use, because the bed or sun will cause wrinkles, and potentially skin cancer.

my last cycle i went from having 16 3/4 inch biceps to 18 within 1 month, needles to say i grew some stretchy's. After talking to a lot of people....a few were professional body builders, doctors, fat ass's etc, i came to strongly believe it's genetics....that's why there are guys 5"11 260 something, and had perfect skin, not a single stretch mark on there bodies. sorry to say, but you just have live with them. i'v tried tons of creams, sprays, prescription creams and non...even tried laser surgery...nothing will make them disappear. some things might lighten them a bit, but they will fade the same way over a little time.....SUCKS BUBBA I KNOW, so does most of us who workout.

but to answer you question about tanning...NO not really, if your really tan, your stretch marks will be lighter, or darker than your skin, it may hide them a little, but i think a tan person looks 100% better than if they were very white...so tan...hit the weights and get bigger, and you wont care as much about them.

I know others have them.. but.. vertically going from the lower belly to the lower pecs?! I hate them!!! I HATE THEM! so many, and so big...

 

[Mattavelli]

I too share in the genetic flaw of ominous stretch marks. I got one on each pec 2 under each bicep and about 40 on my lower back. It looks like i was whipped , even more so when i bend over. The chest and arms i dont mind so much as the back.

I got a bunch on my ass, from putting on about 50 lbs in like 8 months but i guess it really doesnt bother me anymore, i tried some stretch mark creams but their a bunch of shit. Ill just remember not to gain weight that quickly again.
