Stretch marks. ::shudder:: Two words that make pregnant Mommas live in constant fear ;)
While stretch marks may be genetic, I figure why not help out my sad, sad stretched-to-the-limit belly skin if I can? While I was pregnant with Carina I used a few different types of belly oil daily, and am happy to say {please don't hate me} that I emerged at the end of the 9 Months of pregnancy completely stretch-mark free. But? I never found one I really loved. I just used whatever came my way...mostly gifts from family and friends. This time around, for the last month or so I have been using Love Munchkin Belly Oil and have been so impressed!
Here's why:
- It is made from natural plant based carrier oils and essential oils so it is pregnancy-safe, vegan, and paraben-free
- It smells great and absorbs quickly
- My belly feels moisturized and hasn't been itching anymore!
- It can be used after birth as well - the poor saggy skin deserves to be taken care of, too, right? ;)
- Shelf life is 2 years. So if this {crazy} Momma is pregnant again in the near future, I can use the remainder next time around!
- You can add some to your bath for aromatherapy. I plan on doing this...just as soon as I get Mike to clean out the bathtub ;)
- Containers are BPA-free
More about Love Munchkin & founder/owner, Linda:
I am a Holistic mommy with sensitive skin and sensitive children striving for all natural products to nourish their skin. With a background in nutrition, and all things natural, I researched and studied ingredients that would feel good and are good.
I have an amazing Belly Oil which I feel to be the best out there. It prevents stretch marks, pampers mommy, treats existing marks and is all natural.
Pregnancy is an important time to be wary of what goes on and into your body. We also have Newborn Sensitive Skin Oil, appropriately fragranced by essential oils that serve a purpose, as well as smell good. This can also be tailored to treat Eczema and Colic. Reviews prove that it has helped significantly with eczema in people of all ages.
I am really excited to try out the Newborn Sensitive Skin Oil on baby Aurelia once she arrives. Part of my nightly routine with Carina was a little infant massage, and I think the oil will be just perfect for continuing the tradition with Aurelia. It includes Sweet Almond Oil, Olive Oil and Jojoba, which moisturize and soften. Other essential oils include Dill, Roman Chamomile, High Altitude Lavender & Mandarin Green. I am most interested in the oil's ability to help clear up newborn acne. Carina had her fair share, so I'm guessing Aurelia might have some, too. Oh those sad baby pimples broke my heart :(
I think that the Love Munchkin Belly Oil & Newborn/Sensitive Skin Oil gift basket would make an awesome shower gift! In addition to the oils, it includes rubber duckies, bubbles, a board book, and Love Munchkin Samples for traveling or sharing. It is packaged in a wicker basket on soft blue blanket.
