Wedding Stretch Marks!

Hi everyone! Posting for traffic sorry...

I'm getting married in just over a week! My legs are covered in stretch marks, thighs, calves everywhere. Usually they don't bother me but I'm starting to feel down about them.

Would a spray tan help reduce their appearance or would a pair of tights be better? I'm also open to any other ideas you may have!
TIA

Sally Hansen Lingerie for Legs. It comes in three shades, you apply it with a mitt, it covers everything and looks like a natural light tan. Brilliant stuff.

Assuming you're in a short wedding dress!

A tan might help but my experience is that stretchmarked skin doesn't take it as well as unstretched skin. Tights are a good option if you won't get too hot.

Try not to worry about them - people will be looking at your radiant face, not your legs! but if you do want to improve the appearance over the long term, bio oil helps a lot.
