If you haven’t heard already our Mama Mio gift range was pure Me, Me, Me. Yes, whilst we appreciated lovely baby things, we were also heavily pregnant and longing to be pampered and appreciated - after all we were doing all the hard work.
What we felt was really needed was an all round task force. We had a battle on our hands, rapidly expanding bellies, boobs, butt… and we wanted to put up the best possible fight against stretch marks. We knew it was time to get serious, we were growing by the day and it was putting a strain on our skin. For this reason we included in this kit three Mama Mio miracles, all working hard to provide hyper-moisture and ensure yoga-like elasticity for a drum tight tummy and our impressive, newly acquired albeit temporary boobs .
Mama Mio Tummy Rub Oil was created for Sian as the answer to increasing skin elasticity and decreasing the likelihood of stretch marks. It is packed full of omega 3, 6 and 9 - the secret ingredients that help build strength and elasticity (so that will also help prevent aging and saggy, baggy, wrinkled skin). It sets to work immediately making your skin feel nourished and super-hydrated. Itchy belly syndrome – very annoying in pregnancy – will also be relieved. The process of rub-rub-rubbing will become a magic ritual in the forthcoming months.
Mama Mio Boob Tube was Kathy saviour when pregnant with twins. It was also a perk-me-upper in the true sense of the term when her breast friends started to wane as the twins started to wean. Seriously, this is a great product – we didn’t win Greatest Product from the iParenting Awards for nothing. Not only does it help with stretch marks and itchiness during pregnancy but it also helps you defy gravity over time and stop the sag. Did we mention Boob Tube was voted 10/10 by OK Magazine?
As the subtitle implies - Boobs, Bellies and Bottoms - this kit is a little more personal (so bosses buying for secretaries please go straight to the Countdown Kit) and is best presented whilst enjoying a non-alcoholic cocktail by a best friend, sister, mother or dare we suggest it: the daddy-to-be.
All of these products are about building the strength and elasticity of your skin and make you feel oh so pampered and gorgeous. Because pregnancy is the time to get serious about skincare. You are growing by the day and it is putting a strain on your skin so keep it nourished, keep rubbing in moisture and elasticity and you will be rewarded with your pre-stretched skin. But it is hard work…. You need to spend long hours langouring in the bath and put your muscles to the test massaging all your bountiful bumps. Sounds lovely? Shhh, that’s our little secret – tell everyone else what hard work it is.
To hear us bragging about our ingredients in lavish detail please see the individual products: Tummy Rub Oil, Boob Tube and Wonder-Full Balm.
Tummy Rub Oil – Rub on once a day in the first trimester of pregnancy and twice a day thereafter - from above your boobs to below your bum and all the way round. You will want to use it for at least four months after baby has arrived in your world. This is because it helps keep your skin toned and tight as you shrink back down to the normal you.
Boob Tube - Apply once a day from well above to just below your boobs. Paying special attention to the pectoral muscle (and your partner’s expression). This is part of your daily skincare maintenance routine – feel free to use from 18 to 80 on a daily basis. We promise you will thank us in years to come!
Wonder-Full Balm - Apply a tiny seed pearl size dollop to lips (perfect your pout), cuticles, elephant elbows, hard-as-nails heels, scuffy knees, seriously dry hands, little cuts, bumps and boo boos, pregnancy dry patches and so on!
All our products are totally safe to use whilst breastfeeding, just ensure your nipples are cream-free when breastfeeding as your baby only wants you!
