Stretch marks since your teens: camouflage as an adult
Marks from growth spurts have often been white and unchanged for years. That makes them some of the most predictable stretch marks to camouflage.
Hips, thighs, lower back, shoulders, knees: growth spurts leave stretch marks in many places, in boys and girls. Many adults tell me they have hidden them since high school.
Why they are often good candidates
- They have usually been white or silver for years
- Their colour has stopped changing
- The surrounding skin is often stable too

What to expect
Camouflage reduces the contrast of each line so the area looks more even. Texture stays the same; fine, slightly crinkled marks will still feel that way. Large areas may be done over more than one session.
