will airbrush tanning make stretchmarks less noticable?

I know this isnt a pregnancy question, but through out my prgnancy you guys were soo helpful, so I thought I'd ask again. :)

Im getting married next saturday (april 14th) and while I was pregnant I gained A LOT of weight due to the fact that my body was retaining water.

I got stretchmarks on the inside of my upper arms and in the arm pit area a little. I thought that if I tanned it would help, but it didnt do anything, so my thought was that if I did an airbrush tan it would hide them, They arent purple or dark red, just slightly pink and white.

Do you think it would be a good idea to help cover up, Im just really self conscious about it.
Thanks!

Oh and Ive been using this pure vitamin E oil with 3200 iu.
It works wonders! My stretchmarks went from purplish/red to slightly pink and white, so I would recommend that.

Hi...I am covered in stretch marks.
With my first I literally doubled my weight...now I am back down to my normal 105.
So as scary as that sounds...I am virtually covered.
I have tried everything to help the appearance of them....mine are now white but are still noticeable.
There is a product out there called dermablend....It is a type of body makeup.
Blends well...a little pricy though... it is used in movies to coverup tattoos...scars and such.
I purchased it on the shopping channel....not sure where else you could find it...maybe you could google it.
Works well ...for special occasions or vacationing I would recommend it...but for every day use...too much of a hassle....many steps and even special remover.
I've just learned to live with them.
Good Luck
