description for L'Occitane Mom And Baby Balm

In Burkina Faso, Africa, massaging young babies daily with Shea Butter is an ancestral tradition, passed on from mother to daughter, as a way of nourishing and soothing their baby. The baby is welcomed into the world by being vigorously rubbed with this magical butter. African women use it themselves as a complete beauty balm for the face, body and hair. Moms can use the balm during and after pregnancy to soothe stretched, irritated skin. The rich and creamy texture is easy to massage and can be used as an everyday skincare products.

Tips for Massaging Baby:

• You should always be relaxed when giving a massage.
• Whatever the type of massage, it should be carried out in a systematic and consistent manner.
• A massage session needs only last five minutes.
• Make sure your hands are warm for massaging baby.
• To enhance the benefits of the massage, it is a good idea to create a calm atmosphere: pleasant temperature, aromas, soft music, etc.
• Effleurage (sweeping strokes) is not enjoyable for baby. On the contrary, your movements should be smooth, never sudden or abrupt.
• It is preferable to massage baby with the palms of your hands and not with the fingers.
• Never massage baby if she/he has a fever.
• Avoid massaging baby just after his meal, if baby is hungry, and if baby pushes you away or cries.

reviews for L'Occitane Mom And Baby Balm

Featured L'Occitane Mom And Baby Balm review: Ms. Smitten Overall Rating Nice & Lovely - 3/6/2008 8:19:24 AM I really love the texture of this balm better & more moisturizing than any lotion. It is worth every penny. It's not cheap. But, its worth it. I prefer that its not as long as its this good. It's not too unreasonable however. I wish they made one more size larger and had more oatmeal in it otherwise it would have 5 stars. I have really, really, really dry skin. And, its this or diabetic creams. Even though, I am not diabetic. Read All L'Occitane Mom And Baby Balm Reviews »
