How’s Your Belly?

belli-stretch-mark-creamEven though I exercise, eat right and generally take good care of myself, it’s no joke that motherhood can take its toll on your body.

All the abs work in the world doesn’t always firm up what looks like a deflated ball on your belly. And unfortunately, the problem seems to get worse as you lose weight – at least temporarily.

Short of surgery, which is risky and expensive and… kinda icky, there isn’t a whole lot a mom can do to firm up that extra skin.

Or is there?

The people at Belli Skincare asked me to review some of their products made especially for moms.

It’s only been a few days so I can’t really report anything amazing yet, but I am going to keep up the routine for a month and see what the results are. belli-firming-serum

Of course I will update you all then.

The nice thing about these products is that they are free of synthetic dyes, phthalates and paraben preservatives, and the Belli Motherhood line is LactMed screened to avoid ingredients that may be questionable during breastfeeding.

So far I’m using the Stretchmark Minimizing Cream which claims to… “Reduces stretchmark length and irregular surface area by up to 52% and stretchmark depth by up to 72%.”

I didn’t think it was possible to do much about stretch marks but apparently two ingredients, called darutoside and registril – “…have been shown in independent clinical trials to be effective on stretchmarks of any age or from any cause.”

I don’t really have a problem with stretch marks so I’m more excited about the Body Firming Serum to help take up the slack in my belly skin.

It features ingredients like green tea, shiitake mushroom extract, pumpkin, lemon oil and rice proteins.

The Belli people have let me pass along a discount to you.

I’ll be back in a few weeks to let you know how the products are working for me. :)

    Neat. I’ve been wanting to get Carol’s Daughter’s Belly Jelly. Wonder how this measures up :)

Got something to say?
