Clarins Flash Balm - where would we be without this miracle wonder? If you don't have at least one tube of this, I'd highly recommend investing - it is sleep in a bottle.
Eye creams are essential for me - genetically I may be lucky with no stretch marks, but I get terrible dark circles under my eyes, so I'm always on the look out for wonderous creams. As yet, nothing is a total miracle, but the combination of the Body Shop (who knew? I thought this company had gone out of business, but I recently rediscovered it and I'm quite the fan!) Vitamin E Eye Cream during the day and No. 7 Revitalising Eye Balm at night is working pretty well so far. I'd definitely recommend both of these.
Nivea Rich Nourishing Body Moisturiser - I haven't used this before, but I'm loving it. I'm combining it with Cussons Mum and Me Stretch Mark Cream. I don't have any stretch marks (thanks Mum) but I'm guessing it has general firming properties - and it's seen me through this pregnancy, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Once I stop breast feeding, I'll move on to a firming body cream (the jury's still out on which one).
Washing my hands a million times a day means a good hand cream is a necessity too. I'm using L'Occitane's Shea Butter hand cream - it smells divine and really moisturises my hands - perfect. I'm also partial to Burts Bees Almond and Milk hand cream - it's really thick and rich, so you don't need much.
I'm worried that, as per all my other pregnancies, hair loss is going to kick in after a couple more weeks - so I'm religiously using Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle Shine in the hope of protecting what's there at the moment. I also recently discovered This One Replenishing Treatment and I'm using that a couple of times a week. Too soon to say whether it's working, but it's worth a try - and was a bargain at just £6. Stay tuned - I'll keep you posted on progress.
