i just had a baby and my belly has lots of stretch marks now. I think of myself as a good looking woman but it is unmotivating to lose weight if my skin will always look like this. Please any good suggestions?

Unfortunately, the majority of creams will have no effect on stretch marks. Stretch marks are not on the surface of the skin -- they occur at a much deeper skin layer.
Retin A (prescription cream) can help fade stretch marks, as it affects deeper layers.
Since you are right after birth, your stretch marks are likely red or purple. In time they will fade to light silvery lines. If you lose weight, those light silvery lines will be THIN lines instead of wide ones, and much less noticeable.
My suggestion is: lose weight, give your body a year to heal the scars, and if you like, try Retin A. After a year, if you are still unhappy with your body, see a plastic surgeon for further options.
As another answerer noted, a lot of women have stretch marks, so don't feel too bad. I had terrible ones, but time and weight loss made a huge difference.

The unfastened dermis is a truth of lifestyles. Without surgical procedure it is going to be there perpetually. However the stretch marks do fade increasingly with time. They'll grow to be much less obvious the extra time that passes. I won forty kilos with my first and 30 kilos with my moment. All the burden is long past, the stretch marks are hardly ever obvious, however the dermis is obviously there. Working out the muscle groups beneath can support slender the stomach, however would possibly not do whatever approximately the dermis.

Cocoa Butter and various other moisterizers without scent, also much excercise and healthy diet. Look on WebMD for tips for healthy skin and scar removal techniques as stretch marks are basically scars from the skin having to heal itself.
