Enjoying Getting Gorgeous//Thyme Maternity's skincare line |
Case in point:
Well the team from Thyme Maternity and I had a few good laughs at Getting Gorgeous last month when I shared the same thoughts I just shared above, and promptly sent me home with their Soothing Therapy Breast Cream and as
To understand where I'm coming from here's a breakdown of my post-partum trouble spots:
- Boobs - not as buoyant
- Thighs - not as taut
- Hips/butt - stretch marks =( but as I've shared before I adored my pregnancy booty! It was the best ever!
- Tummy - all sorts of squishiness and stretch marks
- It smells amazing - if anything the smell alone makes me excited to use them! For example the Soothing Therapy Stretch Mark Cream contains seaweed extract, Vitamin E and avocado oil with a pleasant, refreshing scent
- The products are generally recommended for twice daily use - I was pretty good about this but some days could only do it once a day especially if I crashed hard at night, which happens often.
- Pay attention to the labels - although I'm not pregnant or nursing, some of the products are OK to use if nursing while others aren't; additionally it's important to note that the Soothing Therapy Restructuring Gel cannot be applied to c-section scars
- I wish I had the Thyme Maternity skincare line when I was pregnant/immediately post-partum - Mr. Love Bird noticed more of a difference in tone than I did (and that's all I'll say about that!), but it was definitely in a good way ;-) I can only imagine what the results would have been if I had used the products consistently during pregnancy and immediately after
- *Speaking of schlepping Lil Love Bird I'm now a huge fan of the Soothing Therapy Leg Gel; after being out in the brief heat wave we got a week ago it felt so good to come home and rub it on my legs (I kept it in the fridge as recommended!)
