Mambino Anti-Stretch and Rebound Skin Duo

The Mambino Organics Anti-Stretch and Rebound Skin Duo gives you two effective ways to retain skin elasticity and hydation, helping to keep your skin healthy, smooth and stretch-mark-free:

• oh baby! belly butter™ (4 oz / 114 g) - A rich, luxurious blend of nature's most nourishing and healing botanicals. What happens: Softens the appearance of old and prevents new stretch marks.

• moisture me™ body toning oil (2 oz / 60 ml) - A light refreshing body toning oil.
  What happens: Boosts collagen production, firming trouble spots in the stomach, decollete, arms and legs.

One of the most effective things that you can do to avoid stretch marks is to gain pregnancy weight slowly and in moderation (usually 25-35 pounds).

Maki Maodus, the skin specialist who founded Mambino, gives this advice: "Natural emollients, such as oils and belly butters that are rich in essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants, should be applied daily to stomach, breasts, buttocks and thighs. Although most stretching occurs in the later part of a pregnancy, it is important to nourish and lubricate these areas in the earlier stages, especially if you are prone to dry, itchy skin. Use only mild sulfate-free soaps when washing and avoid hot showers or baths as they can dry out the skin."
