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 :redface:
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.
Sukin! available in any good chemist :)
if not, moogoo or miessence... a bit more exy and you have to wait for them to arrive, but worth the wait
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!
If I could interupt, does anyone have any great face moisturisers aswell? that are also easy to get in stores? hope you dont mind me asking Teagz :)
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!
