Everything for the beauty and well-being of young mothers

Becoming a mother is, in a way, a wonderful upheaval: in our heads, in our bodies and also in our bathroom. We have just faced a 9-month ordeal: it is normal that we need a little time and tenderness to reclaim our body and regenerate our mind. Today's objective: guide you in your postpartum self-love journey.

Be careful if you breastfeed: the choice of your products must be carefully considered, because certain components can pass into breast milk. The treatments and supplements that we offer below are not contraindicated for breastfeeding women. As a precautionary measure, we still encourage you to contact your doctor to ask for advice.

You are not/younger mother, but you know one? This little list will give you great gift ideas for a baby shower!

For my intimate area

Post-pregnancy intimate discomfort is completely normal. They are often linked to the hormonal yo-yo that follows childbirth. For example, low estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness. The anus is also not spared (postpartum hemorrhoids, fissures, etc.).

If you think you are suffering from anal lesions or vaginal dryness, the priority is of course to speak with your gynecologist. While waiting for your appointment, take care of your intimate hygiene with gentle products. Baûbo Intimate Pain is ideal for washing and soothing this delicate area. With its pH of 5.8 and its natural prebiotic active ingredient, it effectively reduces feelings of embarrassment and discomfort.

To pamper your anal mucous membranes, we also recommend the aptly named Baume Q from the same brand. Formulated without hormones or perfume, it is 100% of natural origin and 100% organic. Its melting and enveloping texture is based on castor and witch hazel oils to nourish, soften and lastingly soothe tingling and discomfort. Plus, it’s suitable for the whole family.

The little extra something: the essential Vulva Balm (it's all in the name), Baûbo's best-seller.

For my stretch marks

Your skin has stretched to its limits, which has caused visible tears: these are the famous stretch marks. Initially pink, they eventually turn white, but never completely disappear. On the other hand, it is possible to prevent them and reduce their appearance.

The right reflex: nourish your skin every day to preserve its suppleness and encourage its natural healing. See in particular Susanne Kaufmann's Arnica Body Oil , which can be used during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks. It can also be very interesting during milk surges (= breast swelling). Just be sure to clean your nipples well before feeding.

Take the time to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. The scrub supports the skin's natural functions and promotes the absorption of anti-stretch mark active ingredients. Rhassoul from Savon Stories has the advantage of being 100% pure (= 100% clay). Mix 3 tablespoons of rhassoul with 6 tablespoons of water: you obtain a ready-to-use minimalist scrub, to massage on streaked areas.

The little extra thing: the sublime Holidermie gua sha for the body , if cellulite is involved.

For my body

Pregnancy is a period prone to water retention. The legs, arms and extremities begin to swell. For some of us, the phenomenon struggles to subside even after giving birth. If you are concerned, here are some tips to support your drainage.

Massage your body. The objective is to fluidify microcirculation in order to promote tissue unclogging. The reference maneuver is the palpate-roll: the skin is pinched between the hands and it is rolled towards the nearest lymph node. For optimal glide, use a carrier oil like What Matters Universal Oil , with restorative and softening benefits.

In addition, you can also try dry brushing. It is preferably done in the evening, before the shower. You only need a specific body brush, for example this one from Aime . The principle is simple: you literally brush your skin using rapid circular movements. The dual exfoliating and stimulating effect restores a pleasant feeling of lightness.

The little extra thing: the food supplement “We want the draining elixir” from Atelier Nubio. At the same time, practice moderate physical activity and monitor your salt intake.

For my hair

As a result of hormonal breakdown, postpartum hair loss is unfortunately a great classic. These losses have the characteristic of being quite sudden and generally last 3 months. However, remember to check that you do not have any aggravating deficiencies.

No need to disrupt your entire routine in case of falls: just add a little boost. The Cut by Fred Scalp Stimulating Brush has soft bristles that boost blood circulation and, in fact, promote hair growth. You can use it in two ways: to lather your shampoo or to massage an anti-hair loss serum into the roots.

As an “attack treatment”: leave the Make My Mask Anti-Hair Loss Mask on your scalp once a week, just before shampooing. It is a complex of plant and Ayurvedic powders to be reconstituted with a little water (using the brush + mixing pot duo ). Highly concentrated, it only requires 15 minutes of application to stimulate and strengthen the hair.

The little extra something: Umaï's gentle solid shampoo , ideal for the whole family (from 3 years old).

To stay zen

Even if baby is very demanding during his first months, setting up several small well-being breaks during the day can considerably help you lighten your daily life. Of course, this is not about countering the “baby blues”: just taking the time to refocus.

Drinking herbal tea is a pleasure that not only allows you to hydrate yourself, but also to reconnect with your senses. During breastfeeding, anti-galactogenic plants (mint, parsley, periwinkle, etc.) should be avoided. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you can stock up on comfort with the delicious Vanilla Rooibos from L'Infuseur (which, by definition, is caffeine-free).

Also create spaces for creativity. Take advantage of your child's naps to start DIYing, for example to decorate your home or baby's room. If you don't feel artistic at heart, try coloring mandalas to calm yourself while stimulating your brain. If you stay focused, its benefits can be similar to those of meditation.

The little extra something: the Happy Officine velvet pouch to keep your well-being essentials close at hand.
