Before use:
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Prepping your skin prior to applying moisturizing skincare is extremely important! Your skincare will not be able to be fully absorbed the product if dead skin cells are lingering on the surface of your skin. We suggest cleansing your belly with a hydrating pregnancy-safe body wash. Then, follow up with a gentle exfoliating sugar scrub to help remove any excess dead skin cells.
