Nurturing Skin Through Pregnancy and Beyond: My Experience with Being Skincare's Belly Oil

From the moment I found out I was pregnant, I became more conscious of the way I cared for my body—what I put in it, how I moved, and what I used on my skin. One of the first gifts I received was Being Skincare's Belly Oil, thoughtfully given by a dear friend the day I shared my news.

From the very first application, the oil’s lightweight texture and subtle, uplifting scent felt like a gentle embrace. Formulated with botanicals like Gotu Kola, rosehip, jojoba and sea buckthorn oils, it’s designed to support skin elasticity and deeply nourish stretching skin. Gotu Kola, in particular, is known for promoting collagen production and aiding in scar healing—something I appreciated even more in the months that followed.

Applying it became a quiet daily ritual—massaging it into my growing belly, hips and thighs each morning and evening. The oil absorbed beautifully, leaving my skin soft, hydrated and never greasy.

Post-birth, I continued using it over my C-section scar. The blend’s healing properties helped soothe the area, and with time, I noticed a softening in the scar’s appearance. More importantly, the act of applying it helped me reconnect with my body—honouring the story it had carried.

Being Skincare’s Belly Oil has been more than a body oil. It’s been a moment of care, a connection to my changing body, and a gift—both literally and emotionally. For any expecting or new mother, it’s a beautiful way to care for your skin, and your self.
