pregnant women have a heightened sense of smell
I have been using hellomellow products for about 2 years now, and the uses that I find for them never cease to amaze me.
I moved to Ireland 2 years ago, and I found that the climate here made my skin very dry, especially my feet. When I would notice a flare up of cracked skin on my heels, I would just make sure to use the body butter scrub in the shower, followed by some body butter before bed, and I would see a difference in just one day.
Another use I’ve found for the body butter scrub is for the back of my arms. As I’ve grown older, my once pristine arms have become riddled with little pimples and bumps. I’ve since learned that it’s a condition called Keratosis Pilaris brought on by increased hormones. I was prescribed a cream by my physician, but I was weary of using it because I was trying to get pregnant and I was concerned about the chemicals seeping into my system. Knowing that hellowmellow is all natural, I decided to give the body butter scrub a try. Although it doesn’t cure the problem (it’s apparently incurable) , when I have a flare up, it definitely smoothes out the skin and takes away the little noticeable pimples so I’m not nervous to wear a tank top or short sleeve shirt.
Finally, I can’t say enough about the body butter. I use all the different scents, but my favorite is definitely revitalize. It’s saved my skin in Ireland, and it lasts for such a long time because you don’t have to use tons of it to get good coverage.
Recently I have become pregnant, and when I was back in the States, I purchased an oil at well known natural food store made specifically for stretch marks. I tried it once, and it smells AWFUL! You would think that they would’ve thought about that knowing that pregnant women have a heightened sense of smell! I’ve started using the revitalize body butter instead, and the scent is amazing, the feeling on my stomach is incredible, and because it’s made of all natural materials, I know that I’m not getting any toxic products near my baby. So far, I’m stretch mark free, and my skin feels fantastic.
The hellomellow range of products are safe and all natural, and it’s great to know that I’m using something that’s hand made by Tracy, someone I deeply respect.
