Like many people early in my I suffered from extremely dry skin. I tried all the tips and tricks I could find online the main one being to drink more water and applying lotion more than once a day, and using any oils I could find for dry skin. Nothing I tried worked so I resorted to my good friend Mr. Google in search of a new lotion that could take care of my dry skin issues and I was not disappointed with what I found. I found a company that's products are all natural, organic, cruelty free, clinically tested, and hospital recommended Earth Mama Angel Baby. The first product I tried from Earth Mama Angel Baby was the Earth Mama Body Butter.

I have not been disappointed with this product. It handled my dry skin and itching that came with the beginning of my pregnancy with ease. The relief from the dry skin and itching was immediate and lasted all day. The lotion is not as thick as I originally expected considering it is called body butter, but after the first use I was in love with the texture and thickness. It is the thickness of traditional lotion and is velvety smooth and goes on with ease, and each pump goes much further than I would have expected. The smell is something else that I really loved because it is so light and fresh with a hint of citrus; best of all it did not aggravate my morning sickness at all which is very surprising because my morning sickness was very severe and didn't end until after 20 weeks. I did however stop using this product when the dry skin and itching finally ended on its own in my first trimester. When the time finally came for me to start really worrying about stretch marks, and working to truly prevent them, I started using the Body Butter again and went back to Earth Mama Angel Baby to ordered their Natural Stretch Oil.

I have been using this product since about 20 weeks and I do not have any stretch marks on my stomach to speak of. I use this product in conjunction with the body butter and I am very pleased with the results I am having. I apply this after showering while my skin is still wet to my stomach, breasts, hips, and buttocks. After drying off I apply the body butter the same locations. In the interest of full disclosure, I do have a few stretch marks on my buttocks, but I got those at the beginning of my first trimester (remember the dry skin issues) because that was one of the first things on my body to grow. I also use this on occasion to treat dry spots. (i.e. after a sun burn on the dry skin that follows)
I love their line because they do not charge you an arm and a leg to live a healthier and toxin free life style like most of the other companies out there I could find. This is not the last time you will see Earth Mama Angel Baby products reviewed on my blog, I have a few more products I will be reviewing in the next few weeks or so. I have the Little Something for Mom to Be kit that has the Happy Mama Spray and Hand to Toe wash that I have not tried yet, but I will be trying them in the next few days, and I also will review Mama Bottom Balm in the coming weeks. There are also a number of their other products that I want to try with the birth of my little one just around the corner. Most of the products I want to try now come from the Postpartum and Breastfeeding category, but also I would love to try the baby products once my little man makes his grand entrance in August.

**Update thanks to these products I do not have a single stretch mark on my stomach. I do have some on my inner thighs but I never applied anything there I didn't think I needed to, but I know for next time now!**
