I've been meaning to get to this blog post when I was pregnant but I guess the pregnancy brain got to me and I ended up forgetting. But, better late than never, right?
Being pregnant it's always important to make sure you are staying hydrated and the same should go for your skin. Nourishing your body with creams and oils is a must. Pregnant or not.
2 PRODUCTS YOU NEED FOR PREGNANCY
♡ STRETCH MARK BUTTER ♡
Since discovering this product I've been such a big fan of Basq NYC. They're a brand out of the U.S and they are just everything you need in skincare. They source all their ingredients from clean skincare products and nature. Their results prove it all.
This body butter was sent to me during my second trimester by Basq NYC and it's so loved by pregnant women. Throughout pregnancy it made me realize the importance of nourishing your skin and how important it is to moisturize your whole body, pregnant or not, it's just good for you.
This butter:
♡ is a blend of plant extracts such as Centella Asiatica proven to trigger collagen renewal
♡ contains Borage, grapeseed, and rosehip oils to relieve itchiness
♡ has Biopeptides to help firm and restore skin's elasticity
♡ contains Algisium-C, a brown algae extract rich in silica to smooth and heal skin
♡ Shea butter is the gold standard for deep hydration and stretch mark prevention
"This formula boosts collagen and delivers the nutrients and moisture your pregnant skin is craving. This ultra-rich shea butter formula absorbs quickly, relieves any tight itchiness, and is proven to prevent and visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks. During pregnancy, your stretching skin is vulnerable, but it doesn’t have to leave marks: Regular hydration with our soothing blend of powerful natural ingredients can prevent new marks and repair existing ones. The light citrus scent with a hint of rose delivers soothing aromatherapy when you need it most." (via)

This oil helps build Collagen and Elastin, essential for stretch mark prevention and maintaining skin strength. It nourishes the skin and keeps it hydrated and smooth.
This oil:
