Before pregnancy

Usual patterns

Women planning pregnancy often neglect their siluette: they try to eat healthy, but only healthy eating doesn't mean healthy living. They stop hydrating their skin and cur short physical activity. This way they start pregnancy being overweight, which makes dream of being thin after pregnancy even harder to achieve.

Treatments       

In order to prepare skin for pregnancy you need to hydrate it and nurture it with cream on daily basis.
We recommend hydrating creams, like Rosa mosqueta cream or oil (Rosa mosqueta oil is not recommended, if you have very oily skin). Creams, containing Rosa mosqueta are light, non-greasy and quickly absorbed into skin. Science is also on our side: facts confirm that Rosa mosqueta is highly effective in the treatment of premature ageing, producing a dramatic effect on fine lines and wrinkles in just a short period of use. Rosa mosqueta is recommended for hydration and prevention of stretch marks, as well as sun exposure, reducing pigmentation and scar tissue.

Gymnastics

Sit ups are prefect for shaping beautiful abs, we all know that. It is meritorious if you practice them on daily basis. I know it is hard at the beginning, but if you want beautiful body, you have to sacrifice. It is not that hard really. If you'll make 3 series of 15-20 sit ups, you will notice positive difference within 10 days!
But, be careful! As soon as you find out you're pregnant, stop with gymnastic exercises and replace them with yoga.

Massage

Every time you are applying cream or oil on your body, make clockwise moves with your hands. This way you'll simply massage yourself, improving appearance of your skin and blood circulation.

Nutrition

If you need to loose couple of pounds, avoid or at least limit carbohydrate consumption. This way you'll prevent insuline intake, which contributes to fat accumulation in stomach area.
Eat food, that contain proteins, because they activate metabolism (food that activates metabolism, such as proteins, demands higher calorie consumption in order to digest consumed food). 
 

After pregnancy

Patterns

Skin, which has stretched during pregnancy, quickly sags after delivery. Skin becomes floppy and stretch marks often occur. As time goes by, situation improves: abdominal muscles strengthen again and stomach becomes smaller.

Treatments

After shower apply cream with circular moves, which is based on caffeine and sea kelps. Evenings apply cream that returns your skin elasticity: it will tone your skin and lessen stretch marks.

Gymnastics

If you don't have the time to go to the gym, don't worry. It is important to have at least some aerobic activities: half hour walk with pushchair is perfectly enough for beginning. In order to perform specific stomach exercises, it is best to wait at least one month after delivery.

Massage

Lymph massage will help you deal with water detention and will eliminate stomach flatulence.

Diet

If you're breastfeeding, this is not the time for rigorous diets. However, try eating healthy and limit fat (especially saturated fat) consumption.
In order to stimulate water elimination, drink plenty water and limit salt consumption. Do not forget about the iron, which maintains oxygen in skin and helps it looking fresh and toned. You'll find iron in eggs and meat.
