Yummy Mummy Skin Care and Beauty

| February 11, 2012

Here are some excellent natural and organic skincare and beauty products I discovered when pregnant.

I simply can’t live without these, even now as a Mummy!

Pregnancy Skin Care

If you want some real pampering when pregnant using natural and organic skincare products, so as not to absorb any dangerous chemicals through the layers of your skin, try the brilliant range of Trilogy Skincare products.

Trilogy is a New Zealand company who use organic Rosehip Oil, renowned for it’s restorative and anti-ageing properties. Trilogy do not test on animals.

As an added bonus, I was lucky enough to get through my pregnancy without one single stretch mark to show for the 9 months (+2 weeks!) of my gradually blooming tummy.

I put my luck down to the regular use of Trilogy products, gently rubbing Trilogy 100% Natural Certified Organic Rosehip Oil over my expanding belly, which helped to prevent stretch marks and was a wonderful way to bond with my growing baby as I talked to her at the same time (she thought it was marvelous having a gentle daily massage and rewarded me with plenty of little kicks and punches)!

I like to use the Everything Balm as a body moisturiser, it smells divine! 

I still use Trilogy 100% Natural Certified Organic Rosehip Oil as a facial oil during winter to keep my skin moisturised and the Trilogy Everything Balm is multi-purpose so worth carrying around in your pram bag! 

I’m so glad I used Trilogy products when I was pregnant, I couldn’t have done without them – and they’re such great value.

With my new baby cradled in my arms and pressed closely against my bosom, the last thing I wanted to do was to transfer chemical-laden creams, potions and lotions onto her delicate skin. I decided I had to go completely chemical-free and discover the joys of organic, natural skin care.

I feel ethereal for making a choice that benefits myself, my baby, the environment and Green People products are not tested on animals. Can it get any better than this?

Green People make everything you could wish for, at a fraction of the cost of many other skincare brands. I highly recommend these products which I use as part of my daily beauty regime.

Organic Babies Nappy Cream

| January 25, 2012

Nappy cream is crucial for keeping your baby’s delicate bottom area smooth and free from nappy rash, which can cause very irritated and sore skin.

I don’t use medicated creams on my baby if I don’t have to, preferring to keep my baby as chemical free as possible.

Looking for a natural alternative to medicated nappy creams, my search for the best natural nappy cream led me to Green People who produce a wonderful and gentle, highly effective Organic Babies Nappy Cream Baby Balm.

It’s 100% natural and uses organic ingredients, helping to protect the skin against dampness which can lead to nappy rash.

And if you suffer from dry skin, Organic Babies Mum and Baby Rescue Balm is perfect for healing and gentle enough for use on mother and baby.

Jackson Reece Baby Wipes

There’s no comparison if you want wipes that are gentle on your baby’s skin and can be used on the delicate areas of both the bottom and the face, very necessary once you start weaning your baby!

Having tried numerous other brands I recommend Jackson Reece Baby Wipes for delicate and sensitive skin. They’re free from parabens, alcohol, lanolin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and many other harsh chemicals.

Suitable from birth, these wipes help to prevent nappy rash by not aggravating the skin with unnecessary chemicals.

Jackson Reece Baby Wipes have won many awards and have just achieved the Best Baby Wipes Award by the Practical Parenting & Pregnancy Awards 2011 / 2012.

Jackson Reece Baby Wipes are mild and gentle cleansing wipes, made from a unique balm to soothe and protect baby’s delicate skin using natural ingredients of aloe vera, tea tree oil, lavender essential oil and purified water.
