The skin on the body stretches to accommodate a growing bump but this brings two major problems — itchiness and stretch marks.

Here is how they work:
In the shower or bath, gently massage the scrub on your belly and hips, thighs and breasts. These areas are usually most prone to stretch marks. The scrub gently removes dead skin, promoting cell turn over which is important for maintaining elasticity. The more elasticity your skin has, the less likely you are to see stretch marks. The scrub also contains very emollient ingredients that help maintain a moisture balance. I noticed that my skin on my belly felt very soft and much smoother after just one use. The scent it’s absolutely fantastic. Now that my tube is just about empty I’m sad!
After gently massaging the scrub, rinse it from your body and pat dry once you are out of the bath or shower. Now it’s time to follow up with the body butter. The body butter helps skin to retain it’s moisture and softness. It also give relief from the itchiness associated with stretching skin during pregnancy. I especially love it because it is absorbed quickly by the skin. Some other butters and oils just sit on top of the skin, leaving a film that can rub off on clothes and ruin them. I’ve always been able to get dressed immediately after using this butter. And it can be used multiple times a day, as many times as needed.

It smells great and feels great. The scrub is extremely gentle and lightly fragranced. I have really bad allergies to fragrances and this one is does not aggravate them at all. It’s also very relaxing.
