Sharing experiences that involve skin health, ageless beauty and total well-being.
As Mother’s Day approaches, we pay special attention to the mothers in our lives. And that includes new and expectant moms – how can we pamper them for their first ever Mother’s Day? One common thing that all moms deserve (moms-to-be included) is the gift of rest and relaxation, and an Éminence Organics facial treatment is a great way to start. Whether it’s a facial or a selection of products to use at home, there are plenty of spa gift options for Mom this Mother’s Day.
Here’s our recommendation on pregnancy-safe skin care treatments and products that can be used at home or in the spa room.
In the second and third trimesters, some essential oils are safe to use, as your baby is more developed. A lingering feeling of nausea and changes in mood and sleep patterns are just a few things to “expect while you’re expecting”. Essential oils and herbs are a natural solution to address all of these issues and more. According to Fit Pregnancy, “in the second and third trimesters, some essential oils are safe to use, as your baby is more developed”. These oils include lavender, chamomile and ylang ylang which calm, relax and aid sleep. Pregnancy symptoms and sensitivities can vary from person to person though, so it’s always best to consult with your family doctor before undertaking any new treatments.
Gift Idea: A quick spritz of Eminence Stone crop Mist will calm and de-stress any type of mom on your list. Gentle enough for pregnant and nursing mothers, this product soothes the senses and nourishes the skin with calming ingredients like lavender, chamomile and aloe.
Your skin also needs to be hydrated for optimal skin elasticity. As your bundle of joy begins to grow, the skin around the stomach area expands, often causing stretch marks. One of the most effective ways to relieve stretch marks is by hydrating the skin. According to popular pregnancy blog, The Healthy Honeys, “your skin also needs to be hydrated for optimal skin elasticity”. Make sure your skin is in its best shape by drinking plenty of water and using rich and moisturizing products on your tummy area.
