         Safe Organic Pregnancy Skin Care
           Your Baby’s Worth It…

I have had the pleasure of reviewing two products from Novena Maternal Skin Care. I received the Organic Beauty Belly Cream and the Organic Fruit Face Wash. If you have been reading my posts, you may already know that I am a lotion and butter freak! I apply lotions daily (several times a day when pregnant) because I like my skin to look, smell and feel pretty. I am pretty particular about what I use on my skin, especially when pregnant. I was delighted to find some skin care products that are safe for pregnant and nursing mothers and are doctor recommended!

I really love the two products I received and I will start off by telling you about the Organic Beauty Belly Cream.

I love the pretty pink and silver bottle! Of course that doesn't really matter...it's what's on the inside that counts...but for some reason, the colors stuck out to me. The Organic Beauty Belly Cream is much like a lotion and less on the buttery side. I like this because it goes on quickly and leaves no oily feeling. It is easy to get dressed after applying this. With butters, I have to rub in (it seems like forever) and my clothes seem to resist going on because they stick to the butter on my skin. I have been using this belly cream day and night and even a couple times a day, if I feel an itch. I am trying my best to prevent stretch marks since I only have a few from my last three pregnancies. I love that I only need a dime sized amount and it spreads all over my belly, hips and even my thighs.
The Organic Fruit Face Wash is great too! I have to be honest, I usually use a bar soap to wash my face because a lot of facial washes make me break out. I also have combination skin~ oily and dry. The Organic Fruit Face Wash has not caused any breakouts, thank goodness, and a little goes a long way. Only a pea sized amount is needed for each face wash and I use it daily. I like that it has a light scent and it is packed with certified organic ingredients! This wash is great for removing makeup. My mascara is usually what is left behind after one wash with the bar of soap. The organic fruit face wash gets all my makeup off in one easy wash. Love it!

Both products are amazing and truly a treat for any expecting or new mother. I look forward to trying more of their products! They also offer Organic Cucumber Cranberry Eye Gel, Organic Beauty Breast Cream and many more products!

  11. How nice that there is a pregnancy line of skin care! I never knew regular skin care could be harmful while pregnant. Thanks for the review!

  12. I love that the bottles are pink too! :) Also I have oily and dry skin too which can be very sensitive to harsh cleaners which is why i love that this line is organic and if it worked on your skin i'm sure it'll work on mine since they are mixed too. I used a cocoa butter lotion on my belly through my pregnancy and I don't know if it worked, I have a couple of stretch marks but not many, I wonder how it would've been with this cream!

  13. It seems like every day I hear of a new company with a new pregnancy cream, whether its for stretch marks, increased dry skin during pregnancy, etc.
    I wonder if this would aid in smoothing out my stretch marks. I have stretch marks almost EVERYWHERE on my body from having big babies!
