Body butter for your pregnant belly

This week, I attended Body Shop’s event at Robinson’s Galleria. I was so excited because I am dying to get hold of their body butters that many moms said worked for them in preventing stretch marks.

As early as now, I have done my homework and actually checked out my own mom’s tummy. They say stretchmarks are hereditary. Lo and behold, thank goodness my mom’s tummy was clear of stretchmarks and I hope I also don’t get them.

Yet there are things we can do to protect our pregnant tummies from stretchmarks which could be caused by dry skin and rapid weight gain during pregnancy. One is by applying moisturizers, lotions, or belly butters like this Shea Body Butter from The Body Shop.

The Body Shop’s body butters provide intensive 24 hour moisturizing. They glide on the skin like rich, smooth butter with a melt-on texture and provide sheer bliss for the skin. I chose the Shea body butter “flavor” because it’s the one popular with moms I know 🙂

I haven’t opened the tub yet but I’ll let you know if it sits well with my super sensitive skin. What’s your belly butter? 🙂
