Pack your little g-string bikini sets into a bag and head off to the beach this summer. Though this type of swimwear is the most cheeky and most daring, one should have the equally perfect booty and body to boot. However, not all women are blessed with blemish-free skin and only a notable few have bums that are as smooth and soft as the day they were born. Stretch marks, while a problem that plagued the overweight and the pregnant more often, are now cropping up on almost every woman’s derriere, creeping up on the legs, thighs, breasts, arms, and other areas where skin can be stretched due to muscle or fat growth. To make sure that the lines from your stringy affair are the only ones to be noticed and not those silvery or dark lines, here are a few measures to take.

Cosmetic surgery

Stretch marks are scars that result in the tearing of the dermis or middle layer of your skin due to stretching. For the moneyed, cosmetic surgery can keep their bums and other parts wrinkle-free and smooth but for a high cost. Also, surgery can also cause minimal to moderate pain. Though newer and smoother complexion can be achieved with this procedure, the recurrence of stripe-like marks cannot be avoided especially if it is genetic or hereditary. Nevertheless, if you have the money and the time to burn, go through surgical procedures in order to achieve more instant results.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E has been proven to be full of antioxidants that can help you look young and radiant from within. However, those vitamin E capsules can also be put to other use by being rubbed onto the area where stretch marks are. Pierce a hole through those gel capsules and squirt the contents onto the affected areas. Massage the gel or oil into the spidery spot until it is fully absorbed. Some people swear by this technique and say that after a few weeks of doing it regularly, their stretch marks were greatly reduced.

Tanning

Though tanning can help you look slim and svelte in no time, it also helps in reducing the appearance of whitish scars on your body. Make use of self-tanners or go to a salon to get a fake bake before you head off to the beach in your mini bikini so you can disguise those silvery and dark scars. However, when using self-tanners, it’s advisable to do a little self-test to see if artificial bronzing techniques can work on you or not. If it does, then slather on that fake bake potion and hide those lines till after a few washes.
