MaterniCare Pre and Post Natal Nourishing Cream Review

Shortly after I went public with my twin pregnancy I was sent a fantastic body cream called MaterniCare Pre and Post Natal Nourishing Cream which is designed for mums to be and new mums and aims to help prevent and reduce stretch marks along with easing itchy dry skin which is so common during pregnancy. While researching the product I took a look at the MaterniCare website and have to say I was impressed. It is packed full of useful information and resources with tips on massage and pre and post natal exercise techniques, all you need to know about the effects of pregnancy on your skin, general pregnancy tips and links to lots of useful contacts and sites.

The Science Bit

MaterniCare® Pre & Post Natal Nourishing Cream is a unique blend of rich plant oils and essential vitamins to nourish and care for your skin as your bump grows and then to support your body as it recovers. Its gentle, hypoallergenic formula is packed full of pro-vitamin B5 – a powerful natural skin healer and protector – as well as almond, avocado and grape seed oils, vitamin E and soothing calendula.

How it works

MaterniCare fights against the appearance of stretch marks and so much more. Its rich, nourishing formula is designed to protect against intensely itchy dry skin that can turn many pregnancies into marathon endurance tests. Then, after the birth, its unique properties boost the skin’s natural healing process in the important first few months.

What I thought

First off, I love the smell and this is coming from a pregnant woman who is super-sensitive to all smells and perfumes since the start of my pregnancy. The cream itself, while luxurious, is not heavy or greasy and dries in without leaving a residue like other body creams. I am now twenty three weeks pregnant and my twin bump which is rapidly expanding is thankfully escaping pretty well from stretch marks so far which must be evidence in itself that the cream has been doing it's job.
