Shea Merry Christmas, Mama!

There are only about two dozen Fridays before Christmas, so it's definitely time to start putting on the Santa's hat-shaped thinking cap on and get the Christmas shopping in gear. Yes people, I went there. Better to start thinking ahead (sort of) than to get so behind that you really can't enjoy the spirit of things, right? And while gift cards to grocery stores and rolls of quarters to feed the machines at the laundromat may top my list for Santa, any new Mommy might be wishing for something that will soothe and pamper her. After all, she spent nine whole months carrying around another human being, and she's totally deserving of some TLC. Pregnancy takes its toll on the body and can strip some of the moisture and bounce out of your skin, so having a product that's specially deigned to target those deficiencies is especially important. SheaMoisture has the perfect solution to that, with their newly launched Raw Shea and Cupuaçu Mommy Collection. This line of products is specially created using certified organic shea butter from Northern Ghana to provide deep moisturizers, vitamins, and fatty acids essential to the skin. In addition, each product in the line contains Amazonia Cupuaçu to help protect, soften, and soothe dry and irritated skin as well as  pistachio oil, which is rich in Vitamin E and phytosterols to nourish and protect skin. The collection is completely free of parabens, phthalates, paraffin, propylene glycol, mineral oil, DEA, sulfates, silicones, synthetic fragrances, and artificial coloring, which means that these are some of the most natural, gentle products available. 


Stuff those stockings full of goodies! Prevent and repair stretch marks with Raw Shea & Cupuaçu Mommy Stretch Mark Butter Cream. This rich, luxurious cream is the perfect way to soothe and hydrate dry, tight skin; and its moisturizers will maintain the skin's elasticity to help keep those stretch marks away. Stay hydrated with Raw Shea & Cupuaçu Mommy Stretch Mark Intensive Repair Oil, an intensive oil treatment that's packed with omegas. Sore nipples can be soothed away by Raw Shea & Cupuaçu Mommy Soothing Nursing Balm, and that post-baby body can be firmed and massaged by the hydrating properties of Raw Shea & Cupuaçu Mommy Firming Massage Lotion. When it's time to clean things up a bit, using Raw Shea & Cupuaçu Mommy All Over Body Scrub is a perfect way to gently exfoliate the skin without stripping it of moisture. 

Give the new Mommy you know some Christmas cheer. Make any–or all––of these part of your shopping list, and the tree won't be the only thing that's lit up and glowing. For more info, visit www.sheamoisture.com
