do a search on the subject. there have been many posts about this, and the basic conclusion is that using a basic moisturizing cream (cocoa butter seems to work best for me) will help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, and will also help prevent them because your skin will be more flexible.

Stretch marks happen to a lot of people. If you put on too much weight, fat or muscle, and your skin can't keep up with the growth, your skin will stretch. Keeping hydrated and using a mosturizer will help reduce the stretch marks you get, and will also help reduce the appearance of the stretch marks.
