My Thoughts: I can still remember asking those few nagging questions when I went to one of my first doctor visits with my latest pregnancy: Is there anything I can do about stretch marks (yes - I got them with the last pregnancy, so I'm expecting them to get worse this time around), and are lotions safe to use on my belly in an effort to minimize stretch marks?? I remember my doctor laughing and telling me: No, and Yes. You see, her brother-in-law is a dermatologist, and they have discussed stretch marks at length, and while you can't prevent them from happening (they are a genetic gift from our parents... you are either pre-disposed to get them or you aren't), you can minimize their appearance by drinking plenty of water and keeping skin moist using lotions or creams. And yes - she said that lotions are just fine and the baby is NOT going to magically soak up the chemicals through the skin. I had mixed feelings about her answers - I don't think anyone wants stretch marks, but I did feel better knowing I was not going to accidentally harm my baby by spreading chemicals and other ingredients on my tummy in an effort to minimize those pesky stretch marks.
Imagine my excitement at finding a company called Beauté de Maman, where Dr. Michele Brown has used her expertise and teamed with other experts to develop a safe and natural line of products designed to help women throughout their pregnancy.
The people at Beauté de Maman were kind enough to send me some sample packets of the Stretch Mark Cream to try.
I tried the cream for about one week. Prior to using the cream, my tummy was dry and itchy, and my belly button was sore and VERY dry. I noticed a pretty significant change in my skin overnight! After the first day, I noticed that my skin was no longer itchy, and my belly button was not as dry or as sensitive. By the end of the week, the skin on my tummy felt wonderful! Yes, I still have stretch marks, and I imagine they will get a little worse, but while using this cream, I feel pretty confident that the stretch marks will be minimized and will fade more quickly.
Not only did my skin feel better, but I felt good about using the cream as it is made from natural ingredients and herbs. Even better is the fact that the cream is not oily, so you can put it on anytime without worrying that it will ruin your clothing or leave an oily residue on your skin or hands. It also has a very light smell that is hardly noticeable, and while I can't speak for everyone, I always seem to be very sensitive to perfumes and heavy smells while pregnant.
I love Beauté de Maman's Stretch Mark Cream and can't wait to give some of their other products a try.
