baby your belly
The jury's still out on whether slathering your bulging belly with any cream can
prevent stretch marks, but we put it into the "can't hurt, might help" category.
A favorite: Pure Fiji Coconut Infusion Body Butter. Exotic nut extracts absorb
instantly and lock in moisture, while milk proteins help firm and tone. (Actress
Denise Richards swears the blend saved her skin during pregnancy.) It's great for
before and after baby arrives.

lift your tired spirits
When you are about to pop-or are managing a newborn-sneaking away for a spa
weekend is about as likely as jetting off to Jupiter. So, re-create the
experience at home. If you're expecting, take a soak in Erbaviva Mommy-to-be Milk
Bath ($25), a blend of milk powder and organic essential oils that relieves the
dryness and itching of stretched skin. After baby arrives, revive yourself with
an invigorating full-body scrub. Combine a few drops of Erbaviva Balance Bath Oil
($18) with a sprinkling of Balance Bath Salts ($30) and apply from head to toe.
The cocktail of clary sage, bergamot, geranium, and rose was designed to balance
the effects of hormones responsible for postpartum baby blues. Buy the duo for
$45 at erbaviva.com.
