Description
The Yung Bod c-section mama cream is a skincare product created specifically for your post-delivery skin and scar area. It contains a blend of evidence-backed ingredients to comfort your c-section skin and improve the appearance of this sensitive area.
We know that as your skin gradually recovers from stomach birth, it’s likely to feel sensitive, tender, and irritable (just like how many of us feel in the months that follow). Collagen thickens as part of the healing process, however, this tends to give scars a bumpy, raised look. It’s also possible that your scar has a different colour to the rest of your skin. While this is all totally normal and to be expected after a c-section delivery, we get that you might like to help your scar fade as much as possible.
There’s a lot to love about this formula. First off it is cruelty free as well as being fragrance free, naturally-derived, and contains carefully-selected ingredients that will *actually* do something.
Ingredients
- Onion extract – we’ll be the first to admit that it doesn’t sound like the sexiest ingredient, but it is exceptional for promoting a soft, smooth feeling to your scarred skin.
- Allantoin - has an exfoliating effect on your skin to help speed up the process, and to improve the overall appearance of your scar. Works well with the onion extract. Being similar to retinol (vitamin A) but of course safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Immortelle flower extract – this rare extract naturally boasts anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-allergenic properties. This combination is a powerhouse.
- The ‘Bs’ – niacinamide encourages an even, brighter look to your skin tone, while panthenol assists with hydration to support a healthy skin barrier.
- Purple passionflower seed oil - This seed is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin A, and vitamin C, which contribute to smooth-looking skin.
- They've also included moisturising and nourishing vitamin E, cocoa butter, jojoba seed oil, and rosehip seed oil, plus biotin to support healthy-looking skin
(FYI: Not everyone’s skin agrees with artificial fragrances or colours, so they haven’t included any of those).
How to use
- Apply YUNG BOD C-SECTION MAMA CREAM to dry skin once a day, on old or new scars.
- Dispense a small amount, and massage onto your c-section skin until it’s fully absorbed.
- Consistency is key, a scar will never fully go away but will fade and soften over time if treated correctly!
-
This cream can also be used on your tummy, toosh, and tatas to help smooth the look of your skin before, during or after you’ve powered through pregnancy.
