Tans do make them show more cause the marks don't tan as well as regular skin (sometimes not at all)...sucks!!:(

Tanning actually makes mine a lot less noticeable! I've always been curious about self tanning lotions or a spray tan. I feel like those would reduce the appearance as well..but in moderation..no one wants to look orange!

Lol right I'm afraid of fake tans when I should probably be afraid of real ones :p

I recently have tried St. Tropez self tanning mousse and absolutely love it! but I did notice that my stretch marks were a little more visible then before. I'm sure it's different for everyone else though

I've tried self tanning and notice my stretch marks looked kinda iridescent when I turned to the side in the sun light lol it was strange but could deal with it.

Not worse, per se, but they can be more noticeable if you, like me, have very light marks. I have found that exfoliating well over them and applying the tan on consecutive days seems to camouflage them well. I recommend St. Tropez mousse, too!
Real tanning, like fake baking, yea that makes the stretch marks even lighter, for me at least! Either way, embrace the tiger stripes!! :)

Simple answer...YES! (know from experience). The more you do tan, the more they'll stick out :(
