We created Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter as an alternative option to our beloved Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil. It was a bit like having a second child - could we possibly ever love our new Tummy Rub as much as we love our first? We needn't have worried; we love them both equally.
Mama Mio Tummy Rubs are primarily designed for one thing: increasing skin elasticity. You’re gonna grow, you’re gonna shrink; and no-one tells you your skin doesn’t have to suffer – but it’s a battle and you have to fight! Your secret weapon is the continual and plentiful use of Omega 3, 6 and 9 to build your skin’s strength and elasticity.
Mama Mio Tummy Rub™ is your superhero in fighting stretch marks. Rub on once a day in the first half of pregnancy and twice a day in the second, from above your boobs to below your butt - front, back and sides. Keep rubbing for at least four months after baby has arrived on the scene.
Tummy Rub is not just about the growing, it is also about the shrinking back down to your normal size and maintaining your skin tone. Someone asked us once if we had any advice on how exactly to massage it in – our answer was 'with joy'. Tummy rub-rub-rubbing is a magic ritual and, believe us, one day you will remember it with such a lovely feeling. There is a baby inside that bump - your baby... What a miracle!
Tummy Rub is available as an oil or butter because some mamas like an oil and some like a cream. They are both equally amazing. It is your choice. We have lots of mamas who use the butter in the morning and the oil in the evening, which works really well if you just can't decide!
Still loving it after you've had baby? Don't worry, we are still loving it and our children are aged 6 – 16! Try our Omega Body Oil or Omega Super-rich Body Cream – same principles but very slightly lighter and in a handy big pumped bottle for all your family.
Tummy Rub Butter is packed with very high levels of these amazing ingredients giving you the very best bump care.
Shea Butter is the most potent healing butter. It helps restore skin tone and provides a protective barrier to lock in moisture. Interestingly, it contains a form of natural latex that helps build elasticity within skin to stave off stretch marks.
Borage Oil is an ancient oil used in the Far East for thousands of years, it’s one of the richest sources of Essential Fatty Acids omegas, specifically gamma-linolenic acid (rich in Omega 6) is very effective in healing damaged skin.
Borage Oil is wonderfully moisturising and very active as it is quickly recognised and utilised by the skin.
Wheatgerm Oil is rich in Vitamin E and is amazingly healing and nourishing to the skin. In addition Vitamin E is useful for its role as a powerful anti-oxidant, soaking up free radicals (so that’s anti-aging) and helping those Omega-rich superfoods get on with their vital work.
Rosehip Seed Oil is very rich in Omega 3 and 6, which are beneficial for the treatment of damaged and distressed skin by providing intense moisturisation. This oil has the added benefit of naturally occurring trans-retinoic acid (think benefits of retin–A but without side effects) which is very helpful in preventing stretch marks.
Sweet Almond Oil (cold-pressed to get the very best quality) is rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9, and very nourishing. It is highly moisturising and quickly absorbed, leaving a soft sheen on the skin with no residue.
Gravida is our amazing essential oil fragrance; a blend of 10 pregnancy-safe, pregnancy-specific natural oils – smells gorgeous to even the most sensitive of noses.
Rub on twice daily, from above your boobs to below your butt – front, back and sides. Keep rubbing for at least four months after baby has arrived on the scene.
Tummy Rub is not just about the growing it is also about the shrinking back down to normal size and maintaining your skin tone.
FAQs
I already have stretch marks – can I use Tummy Rub with Mama Mio Goodbye Stretch Marks? Good question. Tummy Rub is created to help skin cope with an enormous stretch – so it is about PREVENTION of stretch marks. Goodbye Stretch Marks is our very powerful, peptide-packed REPAIR formula. If you are using both at the same time, apply Goodbye Stretch Marks first by finger painting it directly onto the stretch mark. Really massage it in so that you can feel that the product has almost disappeared. Then apply Tummy Rub all over to help prevent any more stretch marks occurring.
