Black gold? Texas tea? No. But we have found something worth its weight in baby fat.
We’re jumping (or as we say in the pregnant world: slightly hopping) for joy now that Bio-Oil ($13.99) has launched here in Canada. A big hit in the UK for its scar-diminishing properties, us mamas jumped (again, slightly hopped) on the stuff, ready to tackle our stretch mark woes. From our first trimester, we slather the stuff (complete with the miraculous goodness of PurCellin Oil) on our burgeoning belly, thighs, breasts and perineum. Rosemary, Vitamin A and Calendula help keep our skin elastic as our impending arrival grows by the minute.
When our wee one is born, we can use Bio-Oil on our episiotomy scars too. And by then, we can finally truly jump at the sight of our smooth skin.
