Gesunde Hautpflege während der Schwangerschaft

Healthy skin care during pregnancy

During pregnancy, many women pay more attention to what they put into their bodies. Natural ingredients in cosmetics often feel safer, which is why many switch to natural cosmetics. During this time, it's especially important to take good care of your body, as it's an intensive phase both physically and mentally that requires increased attention.

The myth surrounding stretch marks

The skin, our largest organ, is also particularly stressed during pregnancy. Hormones are on a rollercoaster, and the skin, especially on the abdomen, is stretched. This intense stretching can cause tears in the subcutaneous tissue, known as stretch marks.


But one thing first: There's no miracle cure for this. Really, there isn't! It can help stimulate the skin and thus increase blood flow. Regular massages make it soft and elastic, making it less prone to cracking. So, ladies: Your partners are busy, so let yourselves be pampered! We've created a wonderful skincare product for you with two highly beneficial women's herbs: rose hips and lady's mantle: The water-free and unscented body butter (formerly belly butter). This care product has now become a very popular all-rounder, even outside of pregnancy :-) Because it is so mild and cares for even the most sensitive skin!

Skin care with shea butter during pregnancy

Massage with unscented body butter: The benefits for the skin

In addition to classic massage oils, our water-free Belly Butter with unrefined shea butter, cold-pressed almond oil, and lady's mantle is also suitable. Our unscented Body Butter (formerly Belly Butter) It's unscented and perfect for a nourishing pregnancy massage. It penetrates deeply into the skin, provides intensive moisture, strengthens the skin's protective function, and supports collagen production.

With these steps you can take care of your stomach

  • Once a day (or more if you like!) a small amount of body butter Melt in the palms of your hands and apply to ideally damp skin (e.g. after showering or bathing).
  • Lovingly massage your bulging belly (or have it massaged!)
  • Also helpful: plucking massages and contrast showers
  • And enjoy!

Traditional baby massage with shea butter

Did you know that traditional baby massages exist in many countries? This is also the case in Ghana! Babies are massaged and blessed with shea butter there.

Yes, dear expectant and new moms and dads, what an exciting time! So much changes within just a few months, and you can't help but be amazed at what your body can accomplish. I don't have any children myself yet, but I've been privileged to witness several pregnancies in my circle of friends and watch in awe at what they accomplish.

I wish you all the best for this exciting time!
