Want to know the secret to supporting your skin during pregnancy?
Stretch marks can be genetic and may happen even if you do "all the right things." There's nothing wrong with them! *someone once called them Tiger Stripes to me, which I loved! I applied this cream every single night after my dry brushing and my shower.
HOWEVER, your belly can get REALLY ITCHY as it's stretching and growing to support your baby and this belly balm is amazing for soothing that itch. (if you're experiencing intense itching, but without a rash, usually on the hands and feet this can be intrahepatic cholestasis which is reduced or stopped bile flow that builds up in the liver, so make sure to check with your healthcare provider if any of this is going on for you!)
So you can whip this up and apply as needed!🌸
