Pregnancy and new motherhood are such a beautiful journey that should be cherished by all going through it, as it encompasses excitement and such joy, but also new emotions and concerns. That is why it is important to take care of oneself during this exceptional period of newness and discovery.

The power of positive touch begins long before a baby is born, with a foetus responding to touch from within the womb at just 7 weeks old, so developing a relationship between mum and baby starts early. Massage is an effective way of relieving aches and pains as well as increasing levels of serotonin and oxytocin. If used with the right creams and oils, it can also ensure skin is kept hydrated and supple during pregnancy, whilst also alleviating dryness and itchiness.

Palmer’s award-winning pregnancy stretch marks range has been designed to take care of your skincare needs whilst encouraging massage and positive touch during pregnancy and beyond. Taking some time for yourself after your daily shower or before bed to massage your bump, legs, arms or wherever needs attention, helps you feel relaxed, soothed, and connected to your baby. The range is also free from phthalates and mineral oil ensuring this is safe to use throughout pregnancy.
