Belly Therapy Ultra-Nourishing Cream contains our proprietary blend of natural oils like Borage, Calendula and Rosehip to help soothe and maintain skin elasticity. It also contains a highly purified extract of Centalla Asiatica, which helps to revitalize collagen and elastin fibers that are overstretched and damaged during pregnancy. The cream is ideal for women who want a richer texture cream with all the protective effects of our proprietary blend of herbal extracts. It is perfect to be used at night, and with the hint of lavender, it can help soothe the mind for a cozy sleep. When is Belly Therapy Ultra-Nourishing Cream recommended? Our Ultra-Nourishing Cream is recommended when the skin starts to stretch during the first trimester. The sooner the stretch marks are cared for, the more likely you are to lessen their appearance. The cream should ideally be applied when the stretch marks are red or reddish-purple because once they begin to smooth and fade they become far more difficult to treat successfully. Once pregnancy is complete, the skin contracts and can lose its suppleness, which is why Ultra-Nourishing Cream should be applied after giving birth, to help contracting skin stay supple. How should Belly Therapy Ultra-Nourishing Cream be used? Belly Therapy Ultra-Nourishing Cream is suitable for all skin types. It should be gently massaged into affected areas like the stomach, waist, and thighs. It can be used twice daily, during and after pregnancy. A thin layer on the affected areas is all you need as a little will go along way. For best results, we recommend our two-step process. Use a few drops of Ultimate Oil on the affected areas right after a shower or bath. Afterwards, apply either the Belly Therapy Ultra-Nourishing Cream or Belly Therapy Hydrating Lotion to help lock in the moisture and to protect your skin.PREMIUM QUALITY: Free of mineral oil, petroleum, paraben, silicone, phthalate, formaldehyde and no animal testing.
