In the last article, we talked about Natural Remedies For Pregnancy in this article we’ll look at a few things that can cause stretch marks and and I’ll share a recipe that kept my skin soft and supple. I didn’t have any stretch marks.

How Are Stretch Marks Caused?
When rapid changes occur in your weight by dieting, weight gain, or pregnancy you can develop stretch marks. I read a lot about stretch marks in the early stages of pregnancy. A lot of what I read stated that not too much you can do about them during pregnancy since a lot of it depends on hormones. In time stretch marks will get lighter.

Possible Ways To Avoid Stretch Marks

  1. Control your weight
  2. Keep your skin supple and firm by using moisturizers
  3. Make healthy food choices studies have shown that receiving vitamins and minerals in your diet will help maintain the connective tissue.

When I was pregnant I created a Nourishing Body Balm. I had used the butters and oils for years in a variety of different blends that I had made for myself and for my customers. I thought they would be fabulous in my pregnancy body balm. It’s a lovely aromatherapy blend. I added lavender Read more

As I write this article, I cannot help smile. It seems like the other day when I was pregnant. My daughter, Aiyana, is now four years old. It was hard adjusting to my ever growing body.

I’ve always been small and at it was hard adjusting to my larger size. My belly kept getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger… At times I was wondering when it would pop? I loved being pregnant.

Did I use natural remedies during pregnancy? You bet! Aromatherapy was still part of my daily lifestyle. I didn’t use all the one’s that I normally use. I used the following essential oils during pregnancy;

  1. Lavender essential oil
  2. Rose essential oil
  3. Rose geranium essential oil
  4. Rosewood essential oil

When I was pregnant with my daughter I developed large pores in the Tzone area of my face. The sebaceous glands were going haywire which caused a large amount of sebum to be forced through my pores.

hand-washing

If you were to come to my house and look at the products that I have to clean my home and the skin you wouldn’t find too many stores bought products. Most of the products would be from a company you might not have heard of before (my business) I make the majority of the products myself.

I believe it’s a safer and environmentally friendly. It’s a lot safer than many of the harsh hand cleaners that are marketed today.

I usually add a variety of Read more
