How do I reduce my stretch marks after the birth?  

To minimise stretch marks postpartum, we recommend using a specialist targeted treatment like our Body Partner Stretch Mark Expert. For best results, use it twice daily and apply to the thighs, hips, stomach and breasts in circular motions. 

Our lightweight, fast-absorbing body treatment helps to reduce stretch marks appearance in length, width, depth and colour to help new mothers feel their most confident. Specifically developed for pregnant women, our nourishing Body Partner soothes and relieves tight skin whilst helping to increase its elasticity.

Don’t forget that stretch marks can be an inevitable part of your journey into motherhood. We encourage all mothers to embrace this as a mark of their resilience and strength. However, we also recognise the impact on confidence that they can have. That’s why we have specially formulated products to help, but it is ultimately every woman’s choice as to whether she wants to use them or not. 

How can I tone postpartum belly skin?

To tone postpartum belly skin, we recommend exfoliating, toning and massaging the area on a weekly basis. 

This is the kind of body skincare routine that can help tone postpartum belly skin: 

• Gently exfoliate your abdomen area once or twice a week with a body scrub like our Exfoliating Body Scrub and rinse

• After rinsing, massage a body oil like our Tonic Treatment Oil to improve the skin’s elasticity or Contour Treatment Oil to reduce water retention on slightly damp skin to lock in moisture

• Let it absorb into skin for as long as possible, 10 minutes minimum

Follow your body skincare routine as regularly as possible while maintaining a healthy, nutritious diet and keeping hydrated. Gentle exercise (strictly under medical instruction and guidance) is also key to toning postpartum belly skin. 

How can I help reshape my breasts after pregancy?

After giving birth, and while nursing, breasts can lose some of their firmness due to hormonal changes and the production of milk, which enlarge the breasts and can lead to sagging. 

It is a completely normal side effect to childbirth; however we understand how it can affect your confidence! Let’s take a look at how to preserve and reshape postpartum breasts for mothers. 

To to sublimate breasts volume after pregnancy, we recommend using a specialist body treatment formulated to tighten your breasts on a daily basis. Look for products that firm the area.

In the morning and evening, apply Bust Beauty Lotion from the base of your breasts to your chin. This velvety lotion visibly firms and promotes a fuller-looking bust area. It contains Vu Sua extract that acts as an “invisible bra” to help your postpartum breasts hold a more defined shape over time. 

I look like I feel - tired! How can I get my glow back?

Your newborn baby is a miracle – and so is what your body has achieved! So first of all, be kind to yourself. A simple skincare routine, with powerful, standalone products specially formulated to nourish your often tired skin, can go a long way towards restoring your glow.

In order to minimise dark circles appearance under your eyes after pregnancy, when looking after your little one, we recommend incorporating an eye care treatment into your daily skin care routine. Total Eye Smooth reduces the look of wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness, for more youthful-looking eyes. The sensorial textured treatment can be used daily, or as a relaxing 10-minute mask (if you get a few minutes for yourself), to leave your eye contour looking refreshed.

To maintain radiance, your skin needs to be regularly moisturised and nourished, for example, with a moisturizer like Extra-Firming Day Cream. Its powerful duo of anti-aging plant extracts—Kangaroo Flower and Organic Mitracarpus—visibly firms and smoothes to fight wrinkles and slackened skin. And did we mention it boosts your tired skin’s radiance too?

Another way to pack powerful nutrients back into your complexion is by regularly using a night cream. With a richer, denser texture than day creams, night creams sink into the skin overnight — deeply nourishing and hydrating even the sleepiest of complexions. 

Clarins Multi-Active Night Cream comes in formulas for normal to combination skin, or for dry skin. A nourishing anti-aging night moisturizer for normal to combination skin, it smooths skin while you sleep – if you do sleep! Luckily, it contains Ginger Lily extract which helps address signs of late nights and interrupted sleep. It also includes Teasel extract to fight against fine lines. Wake up with more moisturized, nourished and comforted skin. 

Do you have any gift ideas for new mums?

We recommend Treatment Fragrances as the perfect postpartum gifts for new mothers. Differing from traditional perfumes, a few spritzes of our aromatherapy inspired treatment fragrances containing essential oils provide much needed wellbeing and comfort to new mothers whilst awakening the senses. Memories are often associated with smells, so make your gift unforgettable during this special time in a mother’s life.
