My Pregnancy Body/Belly Care Routine
15
items My full body care routine to keep skin smooth and support elasticity. While whether or not you'll develop stretch marks is up to genetics, I haven't formed one and strongly accredit that to supporting my skin's needs!

Highly-Rated Products I Haven't Tried Yet
Non-Negotiables
Products that I've boughten over and over again because I believe they are the best for stretch mark prevention. My tried and true products that I use daily.
Very hydrating and keeps the skin soft.
EOS Vanilla Cashmere Body Wash
If you were to only get one thing from this list, let it be this! I used this oil before I was pregnant to tighten and tone my skin before going out, but I actually need it now! You can instantly feel it working and tightening your skin and it smells...
Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil | Ulta Beauty
This lotion is clinically-proven to reduce and treat stretch marks and scars up to four layers deep. One tube lasts for months and works beautifully with their oil.
Clarins Body Partner Stretch Mark Cream
A classic for a reason. Clinically proven results and is very hydrating and smells incredible.
Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil Cocoa & Shea - 5.1 fl oz
My new favorite! Just like the Clarins body oil, you can immediately feel the tightening sensation upon your skin. Smells beautiful as well!
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Body Lotion, 13.5 fl. oz.
If you couldn't tell, I love a tightening product during pregnancy. The use of tightening products helps your skins elasticity, which is a major contributor to preventing stretch marks. The Bum Bum Cream smells beautiful with vanilla and caramel note...
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - Skin Tightening Body Cream
Just purchased and so glad I did. Since I can’t go heavy in the gym, I’ve developed a bit of cellulite where I lost volume (in the glutes) and this immediately improved the appearance of it! Can’t wait to see it work wonders with a few weeks of use!
Truly - Lipo Torch Cellulite Serum
For Some Variety
Products that surely do help with prevention, but I don't reach for on a daily basis (mostly because I'm obsessed with the routine above and forget about them)
I actually do use this daily but this step isn't totally necessary if you use the firming and tightening lotions mentioned above all over.
eos Shea Better Moisture Body Lotion - Vanilla Cashmere - 16 fl oz
I’ve been loving this at nighttime once my full routine has settled into my skin. It’s a solid oil and a little goes a LONG way. Very hydrating!
Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks
A very natural, light belly cream that hydrates beautifully
Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter Stretch Mark Cream - 6.5oz
Highly-Rated Products I Haven't Tried Yet
Products that I've heard amazing things about or have had in my cart but haven't bought yet because if I did, my 6 step routine turn into a 12 step routine and I am already tired enough after a shower.
Truly Beauty loves to create a routine so I'm sure in conjunction with the Serum you get great results. At the very least you'll have very hydrated melons, which is good for stretch mark prevention and improvement.
Truly Nice Melons Whipped Boob Butter | Ulta Beauty
As I just mentioned, their products really do what they claim, so I'm sure this tightens and firms the butt wonderfully and would work incredible with the products I already use and love every day.
Truly Buns Of Glowry Tighten & Glow Butt Serum | Ulta Beauty
While I haven't personally used this yet, I've heard wonderful things about it. Just be sure to get this specific one and not the one in the darker packaging as that one contains a form of retinoid, which is NOT pregnancy safe.
Bio-Oil Natural Skincare Oil for Scars and Stretch Marks | Ulta Beauty
Another one I haven't tried but is highly rated and recommended by mothers-to-be.
HATCH MAMA Belly Oil Stretch Mark Smoothing Therapy | Ulta Beauty
This sounds to be a better version of the Palmers body oil and more suitable for just pregnancy related concerns.
