Spring is finally here! Pregnant moms should consider taking a long stroll in the warming, mood-lifting sunlight of the day (wearing ample sunblock and sun protection, of course.) Exercise is really great for your baby. It is proven that moms who exercise while pregnant have babies that sleep better, that are smarter and are just generally healthier. However, many OB-GYNs recommend that pregnancy activity be kept to low impact so as not to jar your baby. To give themselves a little extra boost in their low impact work outs, many expecting moms are making an investment in toning sneakers. These are sneakers (such as Skechers Shape Ups, Avias and Reebok Retones) that tone your muscles while you walk and also help you to burn more calories.
To really get the best from your low impact work-out, be sure to build in a safe pregnancy skin care routine that keeps your skin soft and supple. It is important that after working out, expecting moms shower and then fully moisturize the skin. The combination of exercise and good skincare will also help in preventing pregnancy stretch marks. The greatest risk for pregnancy stretch marks is during those final few months when your skin stretches even more quickly. If you are watching your weight gain and using an oil or moisturizer each day on pregnancy stretch mark prone areas (breasts, hips, abdomen, buttocks) then you can rest assured that you are doing everything possible to protect your skin.
The safest pregnancy solution - Elasticity Belly Oil from Belli Skincare is a luxurious blend of ingredients that nourish the skin while protecting against pregnancy stretch marks. In published medical research, the combination of Gotu Kola extract, Vitamin E and Collagen Hydrolysates was shown to decrease the risk of pregnancy stretch marks by 39% compared to placebo treatment. This product also features lavender and sweet almond oil to soothe and calm the senses.
The research behind Elasticity Belly Oil was based on women who started using the ingredients during their second month of pregnancy, but we've had excellent reports from our customers who started using it much later too.
Also, just a little skin toning tip for those of you who are not pregnant or who have recently given birth: prior to getting pregnant or after delivery, consider using Belli's Body Firming Serum to help in toning slackened skin. Moms using the product have reported great results on their upper arms, thighs and butt. (FYI: It is recommended to use the Body Firming Serum pre- or post-pregnancy. This is because Belli has not teratology screened the ingredients in the Body Firming Serum, so there is no data to support whether it's safe to use during pregnancy. Only the products in Belli's Pregnancy line have been teratology screened; Belli's Motherhood line and Belli Baby line undergo distinct research and testing.)
