I really need to start creaming my bump as I’m getting bigger my skin feels more stretched so looking for recommendations for a bump cream and also a face wash which is safe during pregnancy ?
I usually wash with water but having used sun cream my face feels dirty in the evening ! Tia x

Hi, I've been using simple moisturising face wash.

As for bump cream I can't really recommend them as they only arrived yesterday but I've gone for Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks and my expert midwife fantastic skin elastic. I know neither with prevent stretch marks as they are genetic but they both feel quite nice and moisturising on the skin which is what I was after.

For babies 1 and 2 I used a homemade mix of avocado oil, olive olive, shea butter and vitamin e all blended together to make a cream. I then used this on both babies until they were about 4 and 6
No strechmarks from either pregnancy
Now because I cannot be bothered, I've just got some argan oil I use after a shower, will probably mix it up with whatever oil I have available
Also face wash wise, just a regular soap and water for me. Because I agree, suncream feeling is yuk.
