Post-pregnancy body care to do at home
Is your life as a young mother busy and you don't have much time to devote to yourself since leaving maternity ward? We've experienced that too :-) Don't worry, it's entirely possible to pamper your skin at home and restore its beauty, with treatments specially designed for the postpartum period.
Pregnancy may have left you with some vestiges that you would gladly say goodbye to: stretch marks, cellulite, sagging skin... Hormones and significant weight gain do not always leave the epidermis intact: pregnant women often notice an increase in cellulite while waiting for baby, the less fortunate will see their stomach, chest and buttocks covered with purplish streaks . And most will notice that their skin has become flabby and distended ...
You can act on these skin problems in your bathroom with targeted products like our Baume Onctueux. It is specially formulated for young mothers who want to find a smooth and firmed body, in collaboration with an expert midwife. If you are breastfeeding, no worries: it does not contain any ingredients harmful to your health or that of your child (essential or mineral oils, alcohol, paraben, etc.).
In terms of ingredients, we have indeed focused on naturalness : a complex of five vegetable oils (olive, rosehip, macadamia, sweet almond and avocado) to regenerate, heal and; restore firmness, associated with an exceptional active ingredient, Body3Complex! It is a mixture of clay, shea butter and avocado pit extract which helps destroy fat and boosts skin renewal . Perfect for treating dimpling problems and lack of skin tone after childbirth, while improving the appearance of existing red stretch marks. A good tip: slip it into your maternity bag :-)
This creamy 3-in-1 cream with a fresh and delicate scent is to be used morning and evening on the areas you wish to treat: apply it to the stomach, breasts, thighs and massage in with long circular massages to revitalize and tighten the epidermis. And of course, you can continue to alternately use our Lait Fondant and our Huile Sensorielle to reduce stretch marks and prevent the appearance of new ones! These products are included in our Expert Stretch Marks box.
To eliminate dead skin and reinforce the effectiveness of these treatments, you can exfoliate your entire body 1 to 2 times a week with Le Gant Sublimateur. Its two exfoliating sides will act mechanically on your skin, to exfoliate it. It is used with Les Bulles Lavantes, our shower jelly!
Post-pregnancy care to be done in an institute
If you have a little time, budget, and a dad available to babysit, you can also go to an institute: many of them offer post-partum services ! Targeted “slimming” post-natal massages will help you say goodbye to orange peel skin and your last kilos to regain your pre-pregnancy weight. They also help combat water retention and activate circulation. blood and lymphatic, which can be a little sluggish after birth. They drain toxins, tone, and combined with a gentle exfoliation, they refine the skin's texture.
You can also opt for “relaxation” treatments (Ayurvedic massage, Californian massage or hot stone massage) to free you from stress and fatigue and give yourself a moment to yourself.
Many thalasso centers also offer postpartum fitness treatments: hydrojets, mud baths, seaweed wraps and deep massages to regenerate and tone your skin!
Dermatological treatments against stretch marks
It is possible to improve the appearance of stretch marks as long as they are red/purple, so your stretch mark cream should be applied relentlessly morning and evening to improve their appearance.
Once white, they are more complicated to dislodge. If you do not accept these streaks, only treatments implemented by specialists (dermatologist, aesthetic doctor) will be able to overcome them. The most used techniques are chemical peeling, micro-dermabrasion, laser, LED light pulses, or even cosmetic surgery. Your healthcare professional will suggest the method best suited to your case, the one that will give the best results. Be careful, however, these treatments are often not compatible with breastfeeding and must be carried out during the winter because they do not go well with exposure to the sun.
At home or outside, with a little diligence and the right actions, you will quickly find beautiful, smooth, firm and flawless skin. Even if your days – and your nights! - are full, take a little time every day to take care of yourself : it's good for the skin and your morale!
