deadseasource natural pampering

Bath times during pregnancy can be a drag if you're used to steaming hot baths and saunas (both ruled out until the baby comes, I'm afraid), and luxurious scents which contain some of the essential oils that aren't safe to use when you're with-bump.

However, many natural products can be a treat for your body in pregnancy as well as once your baby is born, or in the months before conception when you are trying to get into good healthy habits and a relaxing routine.

deadseasource is, well, what it says on the tin (or bottle or jar)! Using natural minerals and trace elements like calcium, magnesium and potassium, found naturally at the Dead Sea, their range of body scrubs, lotions and balms mix in wonderfully fragrant natural materials like ginger to create luxurious and revitalising treats for your body. As ginger is a good natural remedy for morning sickness, this is a great product to try out.

Here at ThinkBaby we love the 'de-stress with ginger' range. Let's face it, when you've got children, anything with the word 'de-stress' in is going to catch your eye!

The inviting pot of Heated Sea Salt Scrub works wonders after a long bath. Exfoliating your skin as it you massage it in, the scrub contains shea butter and ginger to leave your body wonderfully soft. The sizeable 400g jar costs £6.99 which compares very well with many other luxury skin products on the market.

The Hydrating Body Lotion is a deep skin conditioner that helps relax your body as you rub it in. The 300ml bottle costs £4.49.

The whole 'de-stress' range of products includes face masks and so many other little delights, you certainly won't be stuck for a birthday wish list. deadseasource also have a line to 'refresh' which features menthol and seaweed. Great when you need a pick-up!

The deadseasource ranges can be found exclusively at Boots chemists.

(If you are ever in any doubt about your pregnancy and using certain products, do speak to a pharmacist or your GP first.)
