    Hello CMomma

    No it does not. Spray tanning should be transparent to the skin, so it won't cover a scar.

    If you want to try, get some Vitamin E gel caps (they run anywhere from $5 - 10 for a bottle) and break it open, and rub/massage it on your scars.

    Granted, you said in your other post that you have over a hundred scars... so I suggest going for the biggest/most revealing ones... and see if that helps. It takes about a month or so, but the scars should slowly improve.

    Hm. Without spending a lot of money on laser resurfacing or mineral creams... cocoa butter and vitamin E is probably your best bet. Potentially VitaK or Mederma may work... but I heard they're relatively pricey...

    From what I believe, the spray tan will actually adhere to your skin, but will not stay on your scars... thus making your scars more noticeable...

    No, I have a few scars, and I do the whole fake bake + spray tan and you can barely see them... your skin will obviously be darker therefore it will cover them up... you'll still be able to see them, just not as well.
