After writing the 'Lovely Gifts for Mum's To Be' blog post (see here) Blended Therapies kindly sent me one of their beautifully packaged products, their Stretch Mark Prevention Oil (£8.00). The key attribute of Blended Therapies products is that they are created using natural ingredients and based on aromatherapy. Pregnancy is one of the most natural thing a women's body goes through, so surely it only makes sense to treat it with natural products too. It's especially important when you have an unborn baby to consider too.

After talking to a couple of my friends and my sister in law that have been or are pregnant, a reoccurring worry for them was stretch marks! Stretch marks can happen at any time in your life, I have small stretch marks on my hips from when I gained and lost weight throughout my teenage years. So I can imagine if I get pregnant I will have loads of stretch marks. My view on stretch marks from being pregnant is that they should be embraced, those stretch marks are a sign that you carried your baby for 9 months and ultimately gave you your lovely newborn. Having said this I obviously don't know how I'll feel after having a baby. I know that a lot of women find stretch marks a real concern and they can really dent a women's confidence.

Blended Therapies have created a Stretch Mark Prevention Oil, which claims to 'prevent or lessen stretch marks'. The oil contains a mixture of apricot kernel and wheat germ, in their unique combination. These ingredients are 'known for their properties in improving elasticity and healthy skin condition'. It's easy to apply, just massage into the tummy area throughout the pregnancy. I have given this to my sister in law and she has used it a couple of times. She says it smells divine and is a very luxurious consistency, which isn't too greasy. The 100ml bottle is the perfect size for the length of pregnancy, as you only need such a small amount per application. She's looking forward to continue using it throughout her pregnancy!

Have you tried aromatherapy products before?
