The ultimate postpartum beauty routine with essential body care tips? 

Congratulations on your new baby! The journey of motherhood is transformative, and while your focus is on your newborn, it’s also important to be kind to yourself and prioritise self-care. Your body deserves specially formulated post-partum skincare and attention. This guide offers a comprehensive postpartum beauty routine, featuring essential post-maternity beauty tips to help you regain your confidence and radiance.

Your comprehensive post-partum body care

After nine months of change, your body may have lost some firmness and tone. This targeted postpartum body care routine will help you address key concerns like stretch marks, slackened skin, and water retention.

How do I reduce my stretch marks after the birth?   

To minimise stretch marks postpartum, we recommend using a specialist targeted treatment like our Body Partner Stretch Mark Expert. For best results, use it twice daily and apply to the thighs, hips, stomach and breasts in circular motions. 

Our lightweight, fast-absorbing body treatment helps to reduce stretch marks in length, width, depth and colour to help new mothers feel their most confident. Specifically developed for pregnant women, our nourishing Body Partner soothes and relieves tight skin whilst helping to increase its elasticity.

Don’t forget that stretch marks can be an inevitable part of your journey into motherhood. We encourage all mothers to embrace this as a mark of their resilience and strength.

How can I tone postpartum belly skin?

 To tone postpartum belly skin, we recommend exfoliating, toning and massaging the area on a weekly basis. 

This is the kind of body skincare routine that can help tone postpartum belly skin: 

• Gently exfoliate your abdomen area once or twice a week with a body scrub like our Exfoliating Body Scrub and rinse

• After rinsing, massage a body oil like our Tonic Treatment Oil to improve the skin’s elasticity or Contour Treatment Oil to reduce water retention on slightly damp skin to lock in moisture

• Let it absorb into the skin for as long as possible, 10 minutes minimum

Follow your body skincare routine as regularly as possible while maintaining a healthy, nutritious diet and keeping hydrated. Gentle exercise (strictly under medical instruction and guidance) is also key to toning postpartum belly skin. 

How can I help reshape my breasts after pregancy?

After giving birth, and while nursing, breasts can lose some of their firmness due to hormonal changes and the production of milk, which enlarges the breasts and can lead to sagging. 

It is a completely normal side effect of childbirth; however, we understand how it can affect your confidence! Let’s take a look at how to preserve and reshape postpartum breasts for mothers. 

To sublimate breast volume after pregnancy, we recommend using a specialist body treatment formulated to tighten your breasts on a daily basis. Look for products that firm the area.

In the morning and evening, apply Bust Beauty Lotion from the base of your breasts to your chin. This velvety lotion visibly firms and promotes a fuller-looking bust area. It contains Vu Sua extract that acts as an “invisible bra” to help your postpartum breasts hold a more defined shape over time. 

Addressing water retention and swollen limbs

Swollen lower limbs are a common post-pregnancy issue caused by slowed circulation. Use our Contour Body Treatment Oil, which is made from 100% Pure Plant Extracts (including broom, geranium, and marjoram) to boost circulation, tone tissues, and firm the skin. 

Apply this oil preferably at night to damp skin. Work from the feet upwards to the tops of the thighs, using gentle pressure. This self-massage technique is crucial for boosting the product's effectiveness.

Fighting cellulite and 'orange-peel' skin

‘Orange-peel skin’ is the dimpled skin that can be seen on the backs of the thighs and on the buttocks. It is often confused with cellulite. Here’s a test you can do: place your hand flat on the top of your thigh, and then pull the skin upwards. If the dimpled look goes away, this is orange-peel skin. Caused by the slackening of tissue, it affects both slim and curvy women.

Our Body Fit Active is the solution. Its organic matcha tea extract promotes energy release and helps firm the skin. It is combined with plant-based caffeine to create the [Skin Smoothing Power Complex] - a duo of active ingredients with dual fat-limiting and elimination action.



How to sculpt and firm my body

To effectively firm your body, apply a sculpting cream like Masvelt Advanced Body Shaping Cream. Its texture is designed for easy massage, which is essential for boosting circulation and encouraging the elimination of toxins. It provides a threefold slimming, firming, and sculpting action. The Arctic ferment extract used in the formula exhibits targeted anti-storage properties that act through several complementary mechanisms.

Your essential post-partum skincare

I look like I feel - tired! How can I get my glow back?

Your newborn baby is a miracle – and so is what your body has achieved! So first of all, be kind to yourself. A simple skincare routine, with powerful, standalone products specially formulated to nourish your often tired skin, can go a long way towards restoring your glow.



Combating tired eyes and dark circles

In order to minimise dark circles under your eyes after pregnancy, when looking after your little one, we recommend incorporating an eye care treatment into your daily skin care routine. Total Eye Lift reduces the look of wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness, for more youthful-looking eyes. The sensorial textured treatment can be used daily, or as a relaxing 10-minute mask (if you get a few minutes for yourself), to leave your eye contour looking refreshed.

Day and night cream for a more radiant skin look

To maintain radiance, your skin needs to be regularly moisturised and nourished, for example, with a moisturizer like Extra-Firming Cream. Its exclusive [COLLAGEN]³ TECHNOLOGY targets collagen thanks to its powerful trio of active ingredients. Visibly firms and smoothes to fight wrinkles and slackened skin. And did we mention it boosts your tired skin’s radiance too?

Clarins Multi-Active Night Cream is also another great option that comes in formulas for normal to combination skin or for dry skin. A nourishing anti-aging night moisturizer for normal to combination skin, it smooths skin while you sleep – if you do sleep! Luckily, it contains Ginger Lily extract which helps address signs of late nights and interrupted sleep. It also includes Teasel extract to fight against fine lines. Wake up with more moisturized, nourished and comforted skin. 

Do you have any gift ideas for new mums?

We recommend Treatment Fragrances as the perfect postpartum gifts for new mothers. Differing from traditional perfumes, a few spritzes of our aromatherapy inspired treatment fragrances containing essential oils provide much needed wellbeing and comfort to new mothers whilst awakening the senses. Memories are often associated with smells, so make your gift unforgettable during this special time in a mother’s life.
