As wonderful as pregnancy is, it can really take a toll on your skin and body. Not too much can be done to feel better during pregnancy, besides, you need to focus on the baby. But, a few minutes here and there with these nifty tips, can really make a difference to your comfort level until the baby comes. And also afterward to help the repair process along.
No energy and bursting at the seams?
One of the major reasons why we “let it go” when pregnant is low energy levels. It’s completely natural to feel this way. Your body is super busy creating the most gorgeous baby ever. It is also a protective mechanism to keep you from overexerting yourself when you should be taking it easy.
Fluid retention is another factor that makes pregnant women feel horrible. Puffy faces, swollen wrists, fingers, legs and feet. It can even feel painful around your joints as the pressure causing fluid builds up. Fluid retention can also cause temporary stretching of the skin. This may cause you to experience itchy areas where the skin is being stretched.
What we recommend:
For both of these, we recommend our award-winning Circuflow Genie Natural Remedy Oil. Combining the benefits of superb fluid-relieving synergies and energizing essentials, you will feel less tired and a lot less uncomfortable. And, don’t forget to use your Face Cups with your Circuflow Genie oil to help with eye bags and puffiness in general.

Cupping massage is a great choice for a quick DIY at home. A great suggestion is to massage your lower back while standing in the shower. This allows you to reach where you need with the cup.

The guys won’t feel intimidated by having to do fancy hand-moves like the pro’s but they will definitely feel like prince charming when they see that they have helped release some of the pressure.
PS: Do remember to always keep the cup moving and only treat the very lower back areas and upper shoulders. Avoid the abdominal cavity from the front and back for the safety of your baby.
