We created Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter as an option to our beloved Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil. It was a bit like having a second child - could we possibly ever love our new Tummy Rub as much as we love our first? We needn't have worried; we love them both equally. Rub on once a day in the first half of pregnancy and twice a day in the second, from above your boobs to below your butt - front, back and sides. Keep rubbing for at least four months after baby has arrived on the scene. Tummy Rub is not just about the growing, it is also about the shrinking back down to normal(ish) size and maintaining your skin tone.
Someone asked us once if we had any advice on how exactly to massage it in - our answer was with joy. Tummy rub-rub-rubbing is a magic ritual – and, believe us, one day you will remember it with such a lovely feeling. There is a baby inside that bump - your baby... What a miracle!
Tummy Rub is available in an oil and in a butter - this is because some mamas like an oil and some like a cream. They are both equally amazing. It is your choice. We have lots of mamas who use the butter in the morning and the oil in the evening, which works really well if you just can't decide!
Still loving it after you've had baby? Don't worry, we are still loving it and our children are aged 6 – 15! Use it every night as a favourite hand cream and take it on holidays to the sun as it is a brilliant after-sun nourisher.
Mama Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter is your superhero in fighting stretch marks. It is thick, rich and packed with skin-drenching nutrients – omega 3, 6 and 9 - the superfoods that your skin needs. Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter is a deeply hydrating mix of Shea Butter, Borage Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Wheatgerm Oil. These omega-rich ingredients help prevent stretch marks by increasing skin elasticity.
Shea Butter is the most potent healing butter. It helps restore skin tone and provides a protective barrier to lock in moisture. Interestingly, it contains a form of natural latex that helps build elasticity within skin to stave off stretch marks.
Borage Oil is an ancient oil used in the Far East for thousands of years, it’s one of the richest sources of Essential Fatty Acids omegas, specifically gamma-linolenic acid (rich in omega 6) is very effective in healing damaged skin. Borage Oil is wonderfully moisturising and very active as it is quickly recognised and utilised by the skin.
Wheatgerm Oil is rich in Vitamin E and is amazingly healing and nourishing to the skin. In addition Vitamin E is useful for its role as a powerful anti-oxidant, soaking up free radicals (so that’s anti-aging) and helping those omega-rich superfoods get on with their vital work.
Rosehip Seed Oil is very rich in omega 3 and omega 6, which are beneficial for the treatment of damaged and distressed skin by providing intense moisturisation. This oil has the added benefit of naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid (think benefits of retin–A but without side effects) which is very helpful in preventing stretch marks.
Sweet Almond Oil (cold-pressed to get the very best quality) is rich in all omegas 3, 6 and 9, and very nourishing. It is highly moisturising and quickly absorbed, leaving a soft sheen on the skin with no residue.
Rub on once a day in the first half of pregnancy and twice a day in the second, from above your boobs to below your butt - front, back and sides. Keep rubbing for at least four months after baby has arrived on the scene. Tummy Rub is not just about the growing it is also about the shrinking back down to normal size and maintaining your skin tone.
