It isn’t strange to see famous mothers who have recently appeared on television with the same figure they had before pregnancy, as if nothing had happened. This leads many women to think that it is something normal and with a little effort, they can regain their figure. However, it must be kept in mind that it isn’t logical nor healthy to take up a diet and exercise as soon as you give birth. It is something that must be done progressively. But what we can do is take care of ourselves with certain cosmetic products that prevent our figure from showing the changes that have occurred in our body over nine months.

 

Many women who are going to be mothers, or who have been recently, fear the appearance of stretch marks due to the stretching of their skin in such a short time and the flaccidity of the bust, which increases in size during breastfeeding. Fortunately, there are cosmetic products that can help us avoid dreaded stretch marks and maintain our skin’s and bust’s firmness after childbirth.

 

Today we want to recommend the brand Mustela, which for more than 60 years has offered care and protection products for newborns and mothers. They have always integrated the latest scientific advances in their products to meet the needs of both mothers and babies, resulting in innovative, safe, natural and effective products to protect your skin and provide the best care. Let's have a look at which ones are the most advisable, so that you can regain your figure after pregnancy.

 

Mustela Maternity Stretch Marks Prevention Cream

 

Once stretch marks begin to show, it’s very difficult to get rid of them completely. For this reason, prevention is essential during pregnancy. The effectiveness of prevention depends directly on the anticipation with which we begin to apply the care and also that these are applied on a regular basis over time. It is ideal to start from the beginning of pregnancy and continue to do so until one month after delivery.

 

The Mustela Prevention Stretch Mark Cream has been specifically formulated for this purpose. It contains avocado peptides that provide elasticity, flexibility and comfort to your skin; beewax and shea butter provide the necessary hydration and nutrition to the epidermis and leave it very soft; and arabinogalactane, which protects and activates elastin, fibronectin and collagen fibers, essential for combating the appearance of stretch marks in a much more efficient way.

 

Mustela Maternity Body Firming Gel

 

Mustela Body Firming Gel has been specially designed to meet the needs of mothers skin after birth. It restores the firmness of your skin, redefines your outline’s silhouette and recovers the well-being and vitality of it. In addition, thanks to the combination of genistein and Japanese Pagoda tree, it limits excess fat and prevents the formation of adipose tissue. Thanks to its tensor and refreshing effect, it helps to regain your skin’s tone and makes you feel good from the moment of its application.

 

To be effective, it should be applied in the morning and at night for a minimum of one month, performing a gentle massage on your belly, thighs and hips. Being a tensor texture gel, the massage is very simple. It can be applied from the first day if you have had a natural childbirth. However, if you have had a caesarean, you should wait a few weeks before applying the cream to the scarred area.

 

Mustela Maternity Bust Firming Serum

 

Throughout maternity, your bust undergoes a series of changes, like the increase in size of the breasts, which entails the appearance of stretch marks, the flaccidity of your breasts and/or back pain.

 

The Mustela Bust Firming serum is specifically formulated for the bust area, including the neck, neckline and breasts. It takes care of your breasts throughout maternity, providing tonicity and firmness to your skin thanks to the combination of active ingredients that are 100% natural: avocado peptides that provide flexibility, elasticity and comfort to the skin; elastoregulator that redensifies the mesh of skin to strengthen the frame of the bust; and Asian pennywort that strengthens the firmness and tones the tissue to obtain more effective results.

 

It should be applied both morning and evening, with a gentle massage from your chest to your neck. It’s fully compatible with breastfeeding, as long as hygiene standards are respected before each feeding; that is, clean nipples free of debris.
