4 Pregnancy Masks For A Smooth Baby Bump
As a mom-to-be, you’re sure to bask in that pregnancy glow as long as you can. But dammit, you can no longer ignore that reoccurring itchy flaky skin on your belly. Your bump deserves some pampering – imagine the benefits of a soothing face sheet mask but for your growing belly. We picked 4 pregnancy masks for you that are effective, safe, and enjoyable for weekly relaxation:
Hatch Belly Mask ($12)
This celebrity-loved mask flashed on our radar when Kelly Rowland raved about it on her IG stories – “it is giving me so much relief right now” – as she approaches her due date. Usually sold out (an actual waitlist of 2,000 people), you can get your hands on this mask to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks on your expanding belly. It contains tons of all-natural ingredients like propolis, an antioxidant that works to minimize the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
Palmer’s Tummy Mask ($7)
You don’t need to be acquainted with the popular Palmer’s Cocoa Butter to use this hypoallergenic, 48-hour moisturizing belly mask. It comes loaded with cocoa butter, shea butter, Vitamin E, argan oil, almond oil and coconut oil to improve your skin’s hydration and support stretching skin, while reducing the appearance of scars. As the most affordable option on our list, you can continue to use this tummy mask well into your post-care journey.
Munchkin Milkmakers Belly Mask ($8)
This unscented (aka it won’t trigger those spidey pregnancy senses) dermatologist-tested cotton sheet mask contains a serum formulated with gentle ingredients to soothe your bump and help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. The cooling sensation of this mask offers immediate relief for itching – you can even pop it in the freezer for a revitalizing effect on a hot day.
Evereden Soothing Belly Mask ($12)
Made by moms in dermatology, this belly mask is your luxurious moment of self-care. It’s made with 6 organic superfood oils (avocado, jojoba, olive, grapeseed, sunflower and coconut) and hydrolyzed collagen to hydrate, treat and soothe your growing belly through every trimester. This nourishing formula deeply moisturizes skin to help relieve itchiness and promote skin elasticity.
