Skin care before and after pregnancy
A pregnancy marks the beginning of a special time in your life. You are currently experiencing the greatest miracle of life. Your body changes and your skincare routine should be adjusted to fit with your skin’s new requirements. Your skin will also need special care and attention after you give birth.
From the tummy to the most beautiful belly in the world
Your little darling needs space to grow, which is why the waist circumference is constantly increasing. This can grow to a circumference of 100 – 120 cm until birth. The delicate skin on the belly has to cope with the growing space requirements of the unborn child and stretch. This can quickly cause small cracks in the subcutis, the so-called stretch marks.
Later on, these fine cracks in the connective tissue can remain visible as white-silver stretch marks. To prevent this from happening in the first place, it is particularly important to do something about it from the very beginning. With effective skin care that is rich in active ingredients and increases the elasticity of the skin.
Prevention of stretch marks
Special circumstances require special measures. Expectant mothers want to be particularly pampered – including their highly stressed skin, which now needs an extra portion of care. The frei öl® Massage Oil for Pregnant Women calms your skin in a very gentle way. It increases the skin’s elasticity by 35% and effectively prevents stretch marks when applied regularly.
Plucking massages that stimulate boold circulation and gently loosen the connective tissue are particularly effective. With this relaxing baby belly massage, you also do something good for your baby at the same time. Through the gentle touches you can establish loving contact with your baby and thus strengthen the first mom-and-child bond.

Skincare tips for caring for mums-to-be
- Adjust your current skincare products if necessary, as your skin type can change during pregnancy.
- To prevent stretch marks, use a suitable product right from the beginning to increase the skin’s elasticity.
- Moderate exercise, regular pinching massages and hot/cold contrasting showers promote circulation to the skin and increase its elasticity.
- Don’t forget your sun protection! Due to hormonal changes, increased pigmentation may occur on your face and body and this is accelerated by UV rays.

Skin regression after pregnancy – back to your dream figure
Congratulations! Your body has just performed an amazing feat! You have brought a new person into the world and that is something to be really proud of. After birth, your skin needs intensive care as it still needs to perform at its best. “9 months on, 9 months off”, is the saying for how long it should take you to lose the baby weight. The changes your skin went through that were necessary for the pregnancy now have to be reversed. You can support this process and maybe even shorten it a bit.
How frei öl® Shaping Oil supports new mums
This stimulating oil is ideal for massages and contains beneficial omega fatty acids and poppy seed extract to firm your figure. It also tautens and smooths thanks to white lupine extract, reduces cellulite and firms problem zones such as your belly, legs, buttocks and upper arms. Ideal for new mums who want to get back in shape after pregnancy.
Postpartum skincare tips
- Adjust your skincare products as your skin type can change again.
- Take time for yourself and your body and don’t pressurise yourself to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight too quickly.
- Do not compare yourself to others – every body and every skin is different.
- Support your body’s natural regeneration process with skin firming and smoothing products such as frei öl® Figure Oil.
- Add additional massages to your routine to activate the metabolism and the circulation.
