Here’s a list of wonderful products, recommended by Mama Mio Skincare:

Goodbye Stretch Marks

Visible stretch mark minimiser...

What it is: This powerful blend of peptides, fruit and algae extracts and nourishing oils minimizes the appearance of new and old stretch marks caused by pregnancy and weight fluctuations. Works best on stretch marks under ten years old.

DID YOU KNOW: More than 90% of woman have stretch marks, and despite being a baby-making badge of honour they are often one of the most dreaded side effects of pregnancy. Stretch marks are most likely to appear on areas that store more fat, such as the tummy, breasts, thighs, hips and butt.

How it works: Powerful blend of peptides, fruit and algae extracts and nourishing oils minimises the appearance of new and old stretch marks caused by pregnancy and weight fluctuations. Peptides work by tricking your fibroblast cells into believing they are damaged so they need to increase production of collagen and elastin. Isn’t that amazing? Fruit and algae extract helps to even out natural skin tone, ease inflammatory pigmentation and improve appearance. Works best of stretch marks under ten years old.

(The recommended retail price for Mama Mio Goodbye Stretch Marks is R995.00 for a 100ml)

Keep Calm nipple balm

Happy nipples = happy mama

What it is: Keep Calm nipple balm relieves and soothes delicate skin with organic oils and medical grade Lanolin. No need to remove prior to breastfeeding.

DID YOU KNOW: Nipples get sore because they are not used to being constantly wet and then dry, wet and then dry, plus of course they are subjected to the surprising sucking power of a newborn. If you are struggling from sore, cracked nipples, avoid using harsh soap on your body as it can further irritate troubled nipps. Go for a gentle wash that is SLS free and remember, nipples don’t need any soap at all.

(The recommended retail price for Mama Mio Keep Calm Nipple Balm is R 440 for a 30ml)

Gorgeous Glow

Balancing facial wash…

DID YOU KNOW: During pregnancy and new mamahood, your body is bursting with hormones, and your mood is not the only thing affected by these natural chemicals. Your skin is super-sensitive to hormonal changes, but on the positive side, most pregnancy-related breakouts subside after the first trimester as the oil-stimulating hormone production shifts from your ovaries to the placenta.

What it is: The perfect gentle, lightly foaming cleanser to deep cleanse, balance and nourish to keep skin feeling super clean but never tight. Works wonders on hormonal or misbehaving skin. Smells gorgeous!

How it works: The perfect gentle, lightly foaming cleanser to deep cleanse, balance and nourish to keep skin feeling super clean but never tight. Works wonders on hormonal or misbehaving skin. Fights blemishers and gently exfoliates with save Lactic acid. Balances with probiotics, moisturises with organic omegas. Deep cleansing without stripping the skin. Smells gorgeous.

Remember to relax: Breath properly. Pregnancy should be a time of joy, but we know that it also comes with its share of worry. Do not let that worry show on your gorgeous face. Deep breaths that you feel down in your tummy gives your body a pick-me-up by offering more oxygen to each and every cell. This relaxation technique also promotes fit, firm skin because this oxygen gets to the cells in your skin, too.
