Will Fantastic Skin Elastic prevent stretch marks?

It has been carefully designed to help condition and prepare your skin for stretching. Having well moisturised skin is a foundation for preventing dry, itchy and irritated skin during pregnancy. Stretch marks may not be prevented by moisturising alone, different types of skin are more elastic than others. This means that some women’s skin will stretch better than others and be less prone to stretch marks developing. If you do get stretch marks, it can help to reduce their appearance, as well as the appearance of any scars (such as caesarean scars) or redness.

When should I start using Fantastic Skin Elastic?

It is suitable to use as your skin moisturiser from the first trimester and throughout pregnancy. Some women continue to use it after their baby is born as their usual body moisturiser.

What does Fantastic Skin Elastic smell like?

There are no added perfumes. Instead, there’s a subtle fragrance from the ingredients, including grapefruit, lavender, calendula and geranium essential oils.

How long is it supposed to last?

It will depend how often and how much you use. As a guide, one pump should be enough to cover your bump.

Yes, you can use Soak for Bits if you have had a C-section. Make sure that your dressing has been removed and that your C-section wound is undergoing the normal healing process.

Can I use this if I have had stitches?

Yes, you can use Soak for Bits in your bath if you have had stitches. It will be especially helpful if you have a swollen, sore perineum and/or vulva.

Why do you recommend a warm bath not a hot bath?

We have added carefully selected essential oils to Soak for Bits and these work more effectively when added to a warm rather than a hot bath, as too high a temperature will evaporate the oils more quickly.
