Shopgirl Jen: MUSTELA MATERNITE FOR MOTHERS AND MOTHERS-TO-BE

The minute I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter Sofi, I was in cloud 9. It was one of the best moments of my life. The road to my pregnancy was normal except for the first trimester (which is normal to some ladies). What I was worried about was how my skin will stretch and the effects. I heard a lot of telltales of what happened to your skin during your pregnancy. Back in my days (9 years ago), I was not familiar with any beauty regimen that could have helped me in taking care of my skin. Now, I've a lot of stretch marks (ssshhh. hehe) under my belly. huhu.

But, I have good news to mothers and mothers-to be! Mustela, the skincare expert for babies and mothers-to be for over 60 years recently launched Mustela Maternite, a new range of skincare products to hep women look and feel good during and after pregnancy.

Mustela Maternite developed a full range of 7 specialist products that are specifically formulated to provide targeted responses to changes the skin undergoes during pregnancy like stretch marks, moisturizing and itchiness, heavy legs and loss of firmness.

During the launch, we were given a blackboard and chalk to describe our Momma. As a Mom myself, I can now understand the hardships that my Mom went through to raise the three of us (me and my 2 sisters) and doing it alone. Now, she is not only my Mom, but also my best friend. She is someone I confide to without judging me and who supports me all the way. Even if I have my own family now, I can still run to my Mom whenever I need a hug and assurance that I'm doing it right in raising my own daughter.
