Maternity Secret of the Month: Did you know that you can develop stretch marks on and around your breast during pregnancy? We tend to forget this when thinking about the magical phenomenon of milk production. Novena has developed a one of a kind breast cream. It is safe and very effective in the prevention of developing stretch marks on your breast especially during the critical time after birth when milk rushes in and breast can triple in size. It is organic, natural, non sticky and gluten free just in case your little one or one's are allergic. Novena thought of everything, oh yeah and its also odorless.... you will thank us for this one....

Maternity Secret of the Month: Did you know that your skin changes every month and from trimester to trimester? One month you may have oily acnetic skin and the next dry and or sensitive skin. This is also true with food cravings and sensitivity to smells. It too shall pass.

When choosing your skin care products be sure to choose based on your typical skin type. If you are usually normal to dry or sensitive choose those products that best fit your normal skin type not what you are currently going through. This will help you achieve a balanced complexion and your issues may be nothing more than tweaking your current regimen.

Lately I have received a few e-mails from women regarding acne and dryness. This is one sure way of balancing things out. I recommend (believe it or not) washing only in the evening and splashing a few times with cool water in the morning. Let me explain.... When you wash your skin, you are stripping away makeup, dirt and your natural oil. Your skins natural reaction is to balance your skins oil balance and sends a signal to your oil glands to produce more oil to compensate. Over drying may occur immediately after you wash and then shortly after oil will appear if you normally have oily skin. If you have dry sensitive skin it will feel tight and dry up to a few hours. Over drying oily skin will promote more oil and create more breakouts, over drying dry sensitive skin will promote more dryness and sensitivity. Note: When you sleep you are not exposed to environmental pollutants and hopefully you don't go to sleep with makeup on, so why would you need to wash again in the m orning? Think about it... if you don't think this is possible try it for a week and you will see that you will have a more balanced complexion with fewer issues. I guarantee it..... The only exception is if you have always had extremely oily, acnetic skin and wake up with a very shinny nose, chin and forehead....

If you currently use our Organic Fruit Face Wash be sure to dispense only a tiny pea size amount to the palms of your hands, add water and cleans using circular motion. You may experience a slight flush (redness of the face) this is normal and will disappear within a few minutes. This is caused by stimulation and blood flow to your cells. Our products are very concentrated and a little goes a long way, so don't over use and don't over wash.... you will love this tip.

If you have any skin care questions or concerns please e-mail me at any time. I would be happy to answer your concerns and offer a solution.

Novena Maternal Skin Care was developed for the changing needs your skin undergoes from month to month. Small changes to the application can make a world of difference to your results. We strive to accommodate every skin type however there are those exceptions please read all ingredient labels to assure that you are not allergic or sensitive to a herb or extract since our products are concentrated and never diluted therefore making them very active and effective.
