Mustela Post-Partum Body Restructuring Gel

     A skin care product that is specifically formulated to address the main side effects of pregnancy (i.e. skin slackening and unappealing excess fatty deposits) on the figure during the postpartum period?  Doesn’t exist, you say? Think again!  The Mustela Post-Partum Body Restructuring Gel aims to gently restores your skin’s firmness, provides moisture and smooth’s your skin tone without the use of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

     Recently, I received a sample of the Mustela Post-Partum Restructuring Gel, and I immediately thought that my friend, Allyce, who just gave birth to her first child in February, would be interested in trying it out.  Applying the gel under her chest, thighs and stomach for a period of three weeks, Allyce’s skin started to feel more firm in comparison to how it felt when she first came home from the hospital.  The firming properties from the combination of plant extracts, as well as Elastoregulator®, Lupeol and Centella Asiatica help to redefine your body’s contours while restoring your skin’s elasticity.  The gel is light and non-greasy when applied (Allyce noticed that after applying in the morning and evening prior to getting dressed, it failed to leave any residue on her clothes) and best of all, it is alcohol and caffeine-free, which provides nursing moms like Allyce with added relief to be able to comfortably use a product on their breasts that is safe during breastfeeding.  One word of caution─ the Mustela Post-Partum Body Restructuring Gel should not be applied to scars related to caesarean delivery.

     Retailing for $39.00, the Mustela Post-Partum Body Restructuring Gel can be purchased online at such websites as Destination Maternity, Babies-r-Us, and BuyBuyBaby.  For further information about the Mustela Post-Partum Body Restructuring Gel, as well as their wide selection of maternity and newborn skin care products, please visit the Mustela website at: http://www.mustelausa.com/
