Organic at Heart formulates pampering gift for pre and post pregnant mums
(27/01/2009)

Organic at Heart have formulated the ideal pampering gift for Mothers Day, a luxurious Stretch Mark Cream with Rosehip, Frankinsence and Rooibos, as part of their skincare range for pre and post pregnant mums.

Known most famously for its internal health benefits as a tea, Rooibos boasts some fantastic properties for the skin. Harvested by hand and cured naturally in the Cape mountains in South Africa, Rooibos contains a variety of anti-oxidant properties, some of which are entirely unique to Rooibos. The flavanoid Asphalatin (a potent anti-oxidant found in Rooibos) is well known to fight aging as well as being soothing to skin. Frankinsence, an essential oil clinically proven to rejuvenate skin and help reduce inflammation and scarring, Shea Butter, packed full of skin nutrients and Rosehip oil containing Vitamin E and essential fatty acids give skin the ultimate conditioning boost.

To keep your skin in tip top condition during and after pregnancy, Organic at Heart recommend the following skincare regime. Once or twice a week, gently exfoliate skin areas prone to stretch marks. Enjoy a warming bath or shower with Organic at Heart Citrus and ginger bath/shower gel and then massage your pregnant tummy with Organic at Heart Stretch Mark Cream. You and your baby will enjoy the massage and you will be rubbing cream into new skin, giving it the best chance of stretching without scarring.
