We all know you can't look for a baby skincare product without settling on something from the wonderous MUSTELA line and desiring it badly. It really is top of the line for baby skincare. Now I have the opportunity to explore their maternity line (click on 'maternity' on their website and they have a TON of irresistible products…wow!) and I'm super excited to bring their amazing formulations to my skin and not just my bebe's! I'm getting waaayy into STRETCH MARK DOUBLE ACTION. It's pretty divine. It's skin cell renewal system is delivered/stimulated by Silicium, trace elements and Japonica. It also featured Alpha hydroxy-acid, and palm and coco oils. I've only had it for a bit but it's addictive. I mean, is it so wrong to use it…well…several times a day? Doubt it! I'm also digging the ULTIMATE HYDRATION body lotion. This stuff is so good it's really just for anyone and everyone and whenever. In fact my hubby is gobbling it up. Hey, get your own moisturizer, pleeze! It's got plant Ceram ides which prevent water loss, compensates for lipid deficiency with pure wheat germ oil and increasing skin resistance with the restructuring activity Elastoregulator. Uh, wow!
Here's deets on the Stretch Mark Double Action:
The Elastoregulator® (soy peptide derivative), Chlorophycea, and Lupeol combined with Alpha Hydroxy Acid moisturizers and nourishing oils preserve your skin’s elasticity and suppleness. This helps prevent new stretch marks. Restructuring, vaso-protective complex containing silicon, trace elements and sophora japonica stimulates the skin, considerably minimizing recent stretch marks. A rich and creamy texture, ideal for a relaxing massage. Does not stain clothing. Hypoallergenic – specially formulated to minimize the risks of allergic reactions. Compatible with sonograms. May be used during breast-feeding (follow usual proper hygiene rules before breast feeding).
Tested clinically under gynecological control. Retails for about $39. WORTH IT!!

Now onto the super divine WELEDA. I've always been a Weleda fan. How can you not be? This is heaven on earth nectar of the gods stuff. But I never delved into their MATERNITY line until now. What better a way to start than with the PREGNANCY BODY OIL…I'm a huge oil person. I'm a pour-a-bottle-on-I don't care if I get oil everywhere-kind of gal. I just know how my body responds to a good oiling up. It drinks it up and screams THANK YOU!! So this oil is perfect for me right now. (And probably long after bebe is
born…) It's packed full of good stuff like Arnica, wheat germ, vitamins A,D and E and you can practically see it seeping into the skin and geting to work. It retails for $22 for 3.4 oz. And if you use it the way your supposed to (you don't need to pour the whole bottle on) that should go a long way…Smells soooooo good, you'll lose your mind!!
