Organic at Heart skincare treats for pre and post pregnant mummies

(10/03/2009)

Organic at Heart have formulated a beautiful spicy citrus and ginger bath and shower gel and a luxury stretch mark cream with rosehip, frankinsence and rooibos for pre and post pregnant mummies.

Known for its health benefits as a tea, rooibos boasts some fantastic properties for the skin. Harvested by hand and cured naturally in the Cape mountains in South Africa, Rooibos contains a variety of anti-oxidant properties, some of which are entirely unique to rooibos. Vitamin C, Zinc, Manganese, Alpha Hydroxy, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium are just some of the natural minerals which make Rooibos so beneficial to wellbeing.

The flavanoid Asphalatin (a potent anti-oxidant found in Rooibos) is well known to fight aging as well as being soothing to skin. Along with Frankinsence – clinically proven to rejuvenate skin and help reduce inflammation and scarring, shea butter, packed full of skin nutrients and rosehip oil, a fantastic skin conditioning ingredient with Vitamin A and essential fatty acids, your skin can get no better treatment.

To keep your skin in tip top condition during and after pregnancy, Organic at Heart recommend the following skincare regime. Once or twice a week, gently exfoliate skin areas prone to stretch marks. Enjoy a warming bath or shower with Organic at Heart Citrus and ginger bath/shower gel and then massage your pregnant tummy with Organic at Heart Stretch Mark Cream. You and your baby will enjoy the massage and you will be rubbing cream into new, conditioned skin, giving it the best chance of stretching without scarring.
