    Yummy Moisturisers

    Does anyone know any good Moisturisers, that are natural (Don't have all the icky things like aluminium etc in them) and also easy to get my hot little hands on - not having to wait for postage etc...
    I'm starting to hit that itchy skin stage and I was using vasoline Moisturisers, but after reading the ingredients I think I may give it a miss if I can!

    This has probably been asked before but I can't find the thread.. so thought i'd ask again

    Moogoo is great - their website has a list of stores who stock it, otherwise they are really quick to deliver via mail. All natural and smells delish!
    GAIA make a nice baby moisturiser that I use on myself It smells quite strongly of lavender oil though.
    I was given a little tub of mango belly butter - Mama Too brand. It smells beautiful but not sure where you can buy it from... It was part of a hamper that we were given.

    You should be able to get Tinderbox products from Balingup at a health food shop near you. Handmade, all natural, lovely products and they are mostly under $20. I have used them for years- they made a gorgeous smelling pregnancy belly rub and lovely moisturisers.

    I got the preg belly rub!! I completely forgot about Tinderbox. I went to the counter and said "I'm 23 weeks preg and just getting into that itchy skin stage..." and before I could even finished she whipped out the belly rub and said "use this"
    She reckons she used it through her pregs 25 years ago and never got a stretch mark too - so that's a bonus!

    Snacks, I did get some of that GAIA baby moisteriser but it doesn't go very far on a grown up (or maybe I'm just a bit heavy handed?). I'll be getting it for bubba when he's earthside though, it is very delish!

    Krissy, I use a dermalogica face moisturiser, it's called Active Moist the one I have. It's excellent. I don't know where abouts you live but we have a stockist in Bunbury and we're a pretty small town! If you find a stockist in your area I would suggest seeing them first and getting a few samples to see if you like it and find something that suits your skin, as it's not exactly cheap - about $50 for a 100ml tube - mind you it goes a long way and has been my saviour as I've had horrible skin throughout my pregnancy well not now but before i started using it it was dreadful!

    GL!
