The first day I knew that I was pregnant, I started to apply plain organic almond oil on my belly, breast, and hips, every morning and night. I was concerned about what to put on my skin and have the more natural product to prevent stretch marks.
After a few research, I decided to mix my own oils and switch every other night with plain shea butter or unscented body butter made from cocoa butter.
Here are all the oils you can use in your Glossy Mama Belly Oil that is safe for the baby and bring the best hydration to your skin:
Olive
Almond
Jojoba
Argan
Rosehip seeds
Sesame
If you can, choose organic, virgin, and cold-pressed oil.
GLOSSY MAMA BELLY OIL
INGREDIENTS
40 ml of olive oil
35 ml of almond oil
20 ml of jojoba oil
5 ml of E vitamin (20 000 IU)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a dark glass bottle, mix all the ingredients together.
Actually, quantities are not strict. Remember to put more olive oil and almond oil and to respect the quantity of the E vitamin.
Apply every morning and at bedtime, as early as possible during pregnancy.
Tips
Hydration comes from the outside but also from the inside. I’ll publish another article about how to prevent stretch marks from the inside.
