We’ve come up with an easy DIY belly mask that will have your bump rehydrated and glowing in no time! And the best part? You can pamper yourself right at home.

Before You Begin:
Prepping your skin is key to getting the most out of your belly care routine. To maximize hydration, it’s important to cleanse and exfoliate so your skin can fully absorb all the nourishing goodness.

What You’ll Need:

• Hydrating pregnancy-safe body wash (we prefer Luxe-Mama)
• Indulge sugar scrub or Get Glowing Scrub
• Bump Gloss stretch mark oil
• Tummy Butter
• Plastic wrap or muslin cloth
• Small mixing bowl
• Small brush (or clean hands for application)

Step-by-Step: DIY Belly Mask Ritual

Step 1: Cleanse
Start by washing your belly with a hydrating, pregnancy-safe body wash like Luxe-Mama Gentle Cleanser. This removes surface dirt and primes your skin for deeper treatment.

Step 2: Exfoliate
Gently exfoliate using Indulge Body Polish. This sugar scrub buffs away dead skin cells, helping your skin better absorb the nourishing mask to come.

Step 3: Mix Your Mask
In a small bowl, combine:

• 1 part Bump Gloss
• 2 parts Tummy Butter

Mix until smooth.

Optional Boost: Steam Treatment
If you have a facial steamer, use it now for 5–10 minutes to open up your pores. This enhances the absorption of the mask you're about to apply.

Step 4: Apply & Wrap
Apply the mixture generously onto your belly using your small brush or clean hands. Then, wrap your bump in muslin cloth or plastic wrap to seal in moisture and intensify hydration. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Massage & Glow
Unwrap and gently massage any leftover product into your skin for deeper nourishment and a healthy glow.

Pro Tip: Got extra mask? Use it on your hips, thighs, or anywhere that needs a hydration boost!
