Skincare & Body Care

Just like babies, new mums need specialist skincare. During pregnancy and postpartum, there are many changes to the skin. Stretch marks on the growing, then shrinking belly, dry skin during pregnancy, labour, and postpartum, and dry lips are all common. New mums also need the opportunity to spoil themselves with gorgeous items. These beautiful skincare products have all been created with new mums in mind.

Skincare for pregnancy

How to use skincare for new mums

Belly massage

Belly massage is a great way to bond with your unborn baby, and to help promote skin elasticity during pregnancy. Put some of your chosen bump product onto your hands and spend 5 to 10 minutes rubbing your skin around your baby bump, and also around your hips, thighs, and any other areas that are expanding during your pregnancy. Enjoy a massage every day throughout your pregnancy, and your skin will thank you.

Postpartum skincare

During the postpartum period, you may notice your skin is quite different. It is common to experience a lot of skin dryness in the early postpartum period. A hydrating moisturiser is perfect to use across your whole body, and on your belly. You can continue your belly massage on any stretch marks, as this can help keep your skin hydrated.

Scar massage

If you had a caesarean section, scar massage can help reduce scar adhesions, promote blood flow, and reduce the visibility of your scar over time. Choose one of our lovely oils and spend some time massaging over the scar. Check with your doctor or midwife about when to start, usually from your 6-week check-up.
