Gentle Skin Care: Why We Adore Mi Amore
Category:
Maternity Maternity Bath and Body
What: Mi Amore Pure and Natural Skin Care for Moms-to-Be
Why: There are so many reasons to love Mi Amore that I almost wish I was pregnant again. (I think I just heard my husband faint.)
But here’s a secret, you don’t have to be pregnant to benefit from Mi Amore’s botanical oils, natural herbs and certified organic cocoa and shea butters. The Moisture Me after shower body oil may improve elasticity and soothe itchy tummies, but trust me, it feels great after a shower or bath and, hey, I can use all the elasticity I can get. And the Natural Glow Face Complex with rosehip and primrose oil gives me a healthy, dewy look as my moisturizer fades in the middle of the day. Mi Amore also offers C-Section Regenerative Scar Therapy to promote healing and Oh Baby! Belly Butter for any place that’s itchy or stretchy.
All of the ingredients have been certified safe to use during pregnancy and none of the products are tested on animals.
Price: $25 and up or buy the Mommy Care Pack with full sizes of Moisture Me, Belly Butter and Natural Glow Face Complex for $75 and shipping is free.

Maternity Find: Bypass the Medicine Cabinet for Wellness Oils
Category:
Maternity Maternity Bath and Body
What: Nature’s Inventory Wellness Oils
Why: It’s one of those annoying little ironies about pregnancy. As soon as you get the good news, you’re determined, and smartly so, to take as few medications as possible. But, pregnancy has all these annoying little problems that come along with it, like headaches, leg aches, upset stomach.... we could go on and on. So what’s a good mom-to-be to do?
When I was pregnant, I found a great product that treated my headaches with aromatherapy, and I kept using it until I couldn’t find it anymore so I’m all for giving alternative treatments a shot.
Nature’s Inventory has an extensive line of wellness oils targeted to specific problems or pains. Their best-selling
Back Soothe Oil has rosemary, black pepper, ginger and marjoram. A whiff of “pregnancy safe”
Nausea Wellness Oil has peppermint, and rub a little
Sleep Aid Oil with sandalwood, lavender and jasmine on those nights when you just can’t sleep. The
Pregnancy Kit for $59.95 includes bottles of Pregnancy Mood Support, Stretch Marks, Fluid Retention & Varicose Veins. Pregnancy sure is fun.
Still on the fence? Nature’s Inventory offers a money-back guarantee and will even refund your shipping cost if you’re not satisfied with a product.
Price: $14.95 for most oils

Be Particular When Pampering Pregnant Skin
Category:
Hot Topics Maternity Maternity Bath and Body Solutions
What Goes On Your Pregnant Skin?
I have sensitive skin, so I’ve got some practice in selecting mild skin care items and cosmetics. But have you looked into what might be unsafe to use during pregnancy? There are loads of info on the internet and from your local library about safe pregnancy skin care, and you can always ask your doctor.
I’ve had to ditch several acne treatments due to concerns about the chemicals, but I’ve been happy with
Belli Pregnancy’s Acne Clearing Face Wash
designed especially for expecting moms ($18). My skin looks and feels clean and fresh, and I don’t have to worry about any harmful ingredients.
And there are lots of moms who find that they need an anti-dandruff shampoo during pregnancy – like me. Check first with your doctor because some of the leading drug-store offerings are not considered advisable--like coal tar shampoos. I’ve switched to
Head & Shoulders
($7) which works well, although I don’t feel as glamorous as when I use my swanky salon brand. And just so you don’t despair - most doctors will tell you to go ahead and highlight your hair and paint your nails.
