Promising review: “Biggest Relief for my belly. I’m 25 weeks along and had already started to get stretch marks and skin sensitivity on my belly. I paired this with the belly oil, which I have been using for two months. It made a huge difference in treating the texture of skin I was getting (stretch marks, bumps, dryness, etc.) in just one use. Relieving my itch & irritation. I will be doing it at least once a week until baby comes.” — Nicole J

Promising review: “I used these from 32 weeks – 37 weeks (when I delivered) with my twin pregnancy in conjunction with vital proteins collagen, bio oil and carave moisturizing cream and was able to avoid stretch marks. Not only that, but towards the end of pregnancy your tummy feels sooooo tight, sometimes itching and burning. I found that these would help soothe that feeling and keep my skin feeling moisturized longer. I honestly did not follow the packet to a T and ended up using the masks 2x rather than just 1x. I would use a mask on Sunday and then use that same mask again on Thursday. I’d just keep it in a ziplock until I was ready to use it the second time and after that use I would throw it away. Regardless of how often you plan to use them, I think they’re totally worth it even if it’s to just help keep your tummy from feeling so uncomfortably tight and itchy.” — Tiffany
