Skin Care Recipies for my expectant mommas!

When I was pregnant, anything that made me feel “pretty” was especially appealing. With an expanding waistline, a new foundation or mascara can seem like a wonderful idea. But did you know many cosmetics and skincare products can be toxic to you, and pure poison to your baby? Here are some natural skin care recipies safe for every expectant momma!








Ginger Massage Oil

• 2-inch knob of ginger, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 cup grapeseed or olive oil

Blend at high speed until liquefied, strain into glass container w/tight lid and refrigerate to keep fresh.

Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

• 1 1/2 cups of organic white sugar
• 8 drops grapefruit essential oil
• 1/4 cup jojoba oil
• 1/4 cup liquid castile soap (I like Dr. Bronners)

First add sugar to a large bowl and stir to break up any clumps. Then add remaining ingredients a little at a time and mix well until fully combined. To use, stand in shower and scrub onto skin from head to toe.


Banana Mask For Oily or Acne Prone Skin


1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon honey
1 lemon






Mix banana and honey together until most of the lumps are gone, then add a few drops of fresh lemon juice and mix again. Smooth mixture over face, rinse with steaming washcloth after 15-20 minutes.


Cucumber Eye Gel

• 1/4 large cucumber
• 1 oz. aloe vera gel

Puree cucumber in blender, then strain into glass bowl until you have at least 2 oz. Spoon in a tad of the pulp from the strainer, add aloe vera gel, mix and store in an air-tight sterile container. After cleansing, stir mixture, apply under eyes and over eyelids with a cotton ball. Store in refrigerator in-between uses and use within 2-4 days.


When you’re expecting, it’s important to embrace your beauty, whatever that means to you! What’s important is not what anyone else thinks, but how you feel. The truth is, many women really do “glow” when pregnant due to improved blood circulation and natural weight gain. This means pregnancy is your time to shine, pamper yourself and care for your amazing body that’s creating a wonderful new life within!
