After what feels like 12 months of winter (and 12 months of pregnancy – so far!), our skin has seen better days. We’re itching for something to take away that uncomfortable tingling where our ribcage used to be.
Scratch no longer! The fabulous Erbaviva from California brings its selection of USDA Organic skincare to Canada. Long loved by celeb moms like Catherine Zeta Jones, Cate Blanchett and Gwenyth Paltrow, it’s easy to see why. Designed for mom-to-be and baby, natural and useful products take the “What am I putting on my skin?” fears out of our tired minds.
We generously slathered the delicious-smelling Stretch Mark Oil ($31) and incredibly non-greasy Stretch Mark Cream ($34) all over our paper thin belly skin. (Ah, sweet relief!) The Back Rub Oil ($18) is perfect for moments of connection with our future co-parent.
Once Baby’s in the world, we’ll be protecting her (or his?) cheeks and lips from extreme wind and cold conditions with Organic Lip and Cheek Balm ($12). In fact, the entire Erbaviva Baby line has made it to our baby shower wishlist.
Now that our skin’s quenched and we’re at ease, we can go back to obsessing over important things... like the nursery and Gossip Girl.
