My Maternity Skincare Regimen

As I am pregnant and writing this entry, I am dreaming about my end of the day pregnancy ritual when baby is sleeping, dishes are clean and I get a minute to myself. It doesn't happen very often anymore (with a six month old, work and a baby on the way) but tonight I am making time for myself.

My newest way of relaxing is taking a warm bath (it shouldn't be very hot according to everything I have read) and lathering on my new favorite maternity skincare products. Since pregnancy brings dryness and with winter being upon us, I was in desperate need of an all over maternity body cream. I love lathering on Mama Mio Super Rich Body Cream all over before putting on my newest obsession, Tummy Honey Butter. I apply this wonderful butter all over my growing pregnant stomach and hips (that's hoping it will erase any pre-pregnancy stretch marks!!). This product (not really a cream and not really an ointment) has no harsh smells, feels rich and moisurizes without feeling too greasy. While I do believe that stretch marks are somewhat hereditary and I had somewhat given up hope for myself, I have yet to have any in my growing areas that were not there already during this pregnancy. I will continue to use this as I get even bigger in my last trimester and am not sure if I will be ready to give it up once baby comes. I just hope I get to still have my bathing ritual with two little ones around.
