New Mother Skin Care At Home: Ft. Mamaearth C3 Face Mask & Mamaearth Body Créme

Motherhood is beautiful, isn’t it? Those tiny fingers, little toes, a cuddle softer than a soft toy and a smile that is the most precious. The unconditional love that transcends from the mother to newborn and back. Post having a baby, it is just not the family of two people but there is a little one as well who requires attention and time. So the ‘We’ time, ‘Me’ time etc. quite lovingly are usurped and instead ‘Mumma Time’ gets a fresh & major place in the daily life.

For a newbie mother, this also means that the time for visiting a salon for a bi-monthly or monthly grooming is bound to be compromised. Ask any mother and she would agree to this. So for maintaining a great skin at home one can find some time out and indulge in small-small skin routines. Like using a body cream on a daily basis after the bath, once a week face scrubbing, foot scrubbing, once in fifteen days a face pack with a five-minute gentle massage, once a week or before hair wash a warm hair oil application and so on.

Here is the review of two new mother skin care products from ‘Mamaearth’, one of the popular personal care brands for newborns and new mothers:

Mamaearth C3 Face Mask Review

Shelf Life:

2 Years is pretty good considering it will be used by mothers.

Price:

Rs. 599 for 100ml. bottle

Ingredients:

Mamaearth C3 Face Mask is a mix of natural & chemical extracts with the goodness of Caffeine, Clay & Activated Charcoal. Here preservatives used are Propylene Glycol Benzoate & Potassium Sorbate also used in few readymade food products. This product is Phthalates, Mineral Oil, Paraben & SLS free.

Product Packaging: 

Mamaearth C3 Face Mask that is highlighted as an anti-pigmentation face mask comes in a standard tub packing like other Mamaearth new mother skin care products. Again it has labels that are in white, pink & light green colour scheme. For making the bottle leak-proof there is a tight lid inside. For the first time, the opening of this lid may seem to be a little tricky but once opened then it is pretty much easy to use and then close again.

Team ‘The Other Brain Inc.’ Experience:

As per the directions on the bottle, Mamaearth C3 Face mask needs to be applied as a thick layer. It takes about 20- 30 minutes to dry out completely. Initial scrubbing with wet hands is to be done before washing off the face mask. A little glow on the face can be seen from the first instance of using this new mother skin care products. After 2-3 times of using it, post-pregnancy pigment spots on face tend to lighten.

High Fives to this Anti-Pigmentation Face Mask:

• Easy to use.
• Great texture which makes it extremely easy to spread.
• The goodness of activated charcoal.
• Is suitable even for sensitive skin.
• Does scrubbing & face mask dual action.
• Seems to be effective in reducing pigment spots.
• Supple & brighter skin post its use is assured.

Slow Claps for:

• Little on the higher side in terms of pricing but still competitive with organic and toxin-free product pricing.
• Available only online.

Mamaearth Body Créme Review

Shelf Life:

The shelf life of this new mother skin care products is 2 Years which is very good.

Price:

Rs. 500 for 100ml. bottle

Key Ingredients:

Glycerine, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Coconut oil, Grapeseed oil, Almond oil, Avocado oil, Extra virgin olive oil, Wheat germ oil, Potassium sorbate (preservative also used in food & drinks) and more. It is free from Parabens, Phthalates, Mineral Oils & SLS, making the cream for great skin care.

Packaging: 

The packaging of Mamaearth Body Créme is quite similar to the C3 mask bottle packaging. 

Team ‘The Other Brain Inc.’ Experience:

The body cream meant to work upon stretch marks and scars is quite thick in consistency. It takes good five minutes for the cream to get completely absorbed in the skin. It is mildly fragrant. Depending upon the scar, its reduction starts to happen by using the cream twice daily religiously after one week or so.

High Fives to this Anti Stretch Mark & Scar Reducing body cream:

• Easy to use.
• Great texture – very buttery.
• Doesn’t make the skin area oily.
• Quite effective in reducing scars like burnt marks, acne etc.
• A slightly brighter skin and super moisturized skin from first use.

Slow Claps for:

• Apart from availability which is only online, there isn’t any flaw in this Mamaearth Body Créme.

Verdict:

Mamaearth is fast becoming a favourite brand for new mother skin care products. The body cream from Mamaearth is highly recommended as it has the nourishment and healing quality of Shea butter & milk. While Mamaearth C3 mask is equally good and is quite effective.

All one needs to do for maintaining the skin glow just like in the pregnancy days is taking some time out from the parenting responsibility and indulge in the regular use of harsh chemical free products like the above.
