Has anyone else ever heard that tanning can help with stretch marks?

Okay, so I was reading answers to a question that someone asked about how to get rid of stretch marks and it seemed funny too me that no one mentioned tanning. I thought it was common knowledge, but I guess not. I didn't believe it when people told me at first but after a couple of weeks of tanning I have already noticed them fading alot.... It think it is because of the skin coloring. Has anyone heard of this or had any experiances?Has anyone else ever heard that tanning can help with stretch marks?
probably what is happening is a combination of the oil and the rubbing is promoting healing. Coconut oil is very good for stretch marks.
it's not a permanent solution though, once the tan fades they will reappear again. a permanent solution can be visiting your dermatologist, losing the weight that caused the stretch marks, and using vitamin e/scar reducing creams.
