Nothing gets 'rid' of stretchmarks, it just lightens them.
Unfortunately you either have good elasticated skin or you dont and I am the latter!!
I got loads when I was pregnant and a year on they are there but not as bad. They are going silver so with a bit of luck they wont be too noticable!!

after i had my daughter nearly 2 and half yers ago mine were horrific bright red and huge it took about 2 years and they just faded down and went silver and i felt comfortable enough to wear a bikini again and then a month later got pregnant again lol now they are bright red again typical i just hope they dnt stretch too much this time i think u just have to give them time and they really do fade down xx

I was wondering the same. Don't use them usually but I was considering it if it would help. However I happened to see a documentary last night with Nicola from Girls Aloud about the danger of sunbeds which has put me off!

I dont think sunbeds are worth it.
They are dangerous. I am not saying I havent used them cos I have but I was much younger then and dont think that i really understood about them x
