M2B is about treating the many changes to women’s body during pregnancy and assisting them to look and feel their best during this special time. Our Natural specialty products are formulated as safe and effective treatments that address these changes.
During pregnancy the body’s Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) levels are at their lowest, which has a direct effect on the skin’s elasticity, accelerate the ageing process and often lead to stretch marks. To combat these effects our products contain ingredients that supplement the level of EFA’s directly where they are needed.
Expectant Mothers deserve pampering too and all treatments contain our unique M2B relaxing blend of pregnancy-safe pure Essential Oils. It is vital to keep the skin supple, conditioned and nourished to aid elasticity during this time of changing shape each product contains natural active ingredients that smooth, condition and soothe the skin through each trimester. Our treatments also contain high levels of (EFA’s), specifically Omega 3, 6 & 9, which are crucial to cell membranes.
During pregnancy, the body grows more quickly on the inside than the skin can keep up with and it is reported that approximately 90% of women will develop stretch marks in the sixth and seventh month. The fibrous and elastic layers deep in the skin stretch and tear and stretch marks may appear. These are scar tissue which forms to heal the tears. Stretch marks may appear more in areas affected by gravity, such as the breasts and buttocks.
Maintaining moisture and flexibility in the affected areas will reduce the likelihood of stretch marks. Remember, once a stretch mark has developed, it is permanent – no amount of massage will make it disappear. We have formulated a Stretch Mark Oil and a melt on touch Butter that, in combination with massage techniques and drinking lots of water will fight the onset of stretch marks.
Keeping the body moisturised, both on the inside and outside are of utmost importance, as the benefits of looking after the body during pregnancy become apparent later. This is achieved by massaging into tired aching areas, smoothing out the skin with a gentle scrub, moisturising parched places with a high Omega cream, toning the tummy area with an oil rich, herbal serum and paying special attention to those cellulite prone areas.
