\nLet’s talk body care! Prior to my pregnancy I was never that picky with body lotions. Pretty much my only criteria was that a product had to be super<\/em> moisturizing as I’ve always struggled with dry skin. After I found out I was pregnant I started paying more attention to ingredients and decided to ditch any fragrance-filled lotions in favor of products with cleaner, non-toxic ingredients. Then once my bump started making an appearance back in March, I added a few oils and balms to my routine to help keep any potential stretch marks at bay.<\/p>\n BODY MOISTURIZERS\u00a0 \/\/ Mutha Body Oil<\/a> |\u00a0Mutha Body Butter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n When I mentioned on Instagram<\/a> that I was looking for stretch mark cream recommendations, Mutha products came highly recommended! So far I’ve tried the body oil<\/a> and body butter<\/a> and really love both! I’ve primarily been using the body oil<\/a> solely on my belly, hips, thighs and boobs to prevent stretch marks. It’s formulated with 100% organic botanical oils, packed with vitamins, absorbs fast, helps prevent fine lines and is safe for sensitive skin types.<\/p>\n BODY MOISTURIZERS \/\/ Mutha Body Oil<\/a> |\u00a0Mutha Body Butter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The body butter<\/a> is SO decadent and thick. To apply I take a glob in the palm of my hands and massage it– basically warming it up so the consistency turns more lotion-like. I’ll use this on dry days when I feel my skin could use some an extra hydrating treat– especially my elbows and knees! The ingredients are also 100% natural and formulated to help fade and prevent stretch marks. Both this<\/a> and the Mutha body oil<\/a> smell AMAZING too.<\/p>\n STRETCH MARK PRODUCTS \/\/ Mustela Stretch Marks Cream<\/a> |\u00a0Mustela Stretch Marks Oil<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Mustela<\/a> is another maternity beauty brand that many people recommended to me. They have a wide range of products that are all budget-friendly<\/a> and can be shopped on Amazon<\/a>! So far I’ve been using the Stretch Marks Cream<\/a> and Stretch Marks Oil<\/a> on my belly, hips, thighs and boobs. Both are formulated with 100% natural ingredients, free of parabens or any other nasty additives and can help prevent\/fade stretch marks.<\/p>\n I tend to use the oil<\/a> when I know I have a little bit more time to get ready since I’ve found it needs a few minutes to absorb. Even though it says fragrance-free it does have a slight scent, which I personally don’t mind, however I don’t think it’s a scent that everyone would love. In contrast, the Stretch Marks Cream<\/a> is very much unscented and absorbs faster than the oil<\/a>–so if those are two factors you’re looking for I’d opt for the cream<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n POST-PREGNANCY PRODUCTS \/\/ Mustela Nursing Comfort Balm<\/a> | Mustela Stretch Marks Serum<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n I haven’t tried these two Mustela products yet, but still wanted to share for those of you who are new mommas or in need of a product to fade existing stretch marks. If I end up testing either one I will definitely share my thoughts on my Instagram story!<\/a><\/p>\n EVERYDAY BODY MOISTURIZERS \/\/ Necessaire The Body Lotion<\/a> |\u00a0KORRES Sea Lavender Body Butter<\/a> | Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n All three of these body moisturizers are meant for anyone– not just expectant moms! I was already a fan of Korres Sea Lavender Body Butter<\/a> and Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream<\/a> prior to my pregnancy and have continued regularly using both! The Korres body butter<\/a> is a great everyday all-over cream and has the most amazing light lavender scent.<\/a> It also absorbs fast and contains primarily all natural ingredients.<\/p>\n If you’re prone to eczema flare ups like me, then I’d definitely encourage having Eucerin’s Eczema Relief Cream<\/a> in your bodycare arsenal. I like to use this when my skin is extra dry and red. Necessaire The Body Lotion<\/a> is a recent moisturizer find that I’ve really been enjoying. It’s fragrance-free, goes on super smooth and is packed with vitamins that support the health and natural pH of the skin.<\/p>\n PRE & POST-NATAL BODY MOISTURIZER \/\/ Kate McLeod Mama Stone<\/a> (there are 6 different formulas<\/a>— all with different purposes!)<\/strong><\/p>\n The Kate McLeod Mama Stone<\/a> definitely takes the title of the most unique pregnancy beauty product that I’ve tried. It looks like a solid bar of soap, but I promise it’s actually a moisturizer that you definitely only want to use outside<\/span> of the bath or shower. To apply all you do is rub it against your skin and the bar “melts” on contact. It’s really cool and I love how it’s a 100% plant-based product that’s completely vegan, hypoallergenic and “clean.” My only complaint about this moisturizer is how fast<\/em> it goes. When I first got it I was applying it everyday, but now I only use it sparingly because with daily full-body use I doubt it would last more than three weeks. I’ll likely end up using it more once baby boy is here!<\/p>\n Mutha Body Oil<\/a> |\u00a0Mutha Body Butter<\/a> |\u00a0Kate McLeod Mama Stone<\/a> |\u00a0Necessaire The Body Lotion<\/a> |\u00a0KORRES Sea Lavender Body Butter<\/a> |\u00a0Mustela Nursing Comfort Balm<\/a> |\u00a0Mustela Stretch Marks Cream<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Mustela Stretch Marks Serum<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s talk body care!
