Looking for a special treat for a new mum or mum to be in your life? Maybe it’s their first Mother’s Day coming up or you’d like to remind them to look after themselves alongside everybody else. Esker Fields aromatherapy body and skincare isn’t just safe for use in pregnancy. It also has amazing benefits for navigating the whirlwind of motherhood.
3 Benefits of Esker Fields for New Mums
From our foot cream to our moisturising balm, all Esker Fields products are formulated for both skincare and wellness benefits so you look and feel amazing.
All-natural
The Esker Fields formulas include natural butters, carrier oils and pure essential oils. Where possible we use organic ingredients too. This means you know exactly what’s in your products and that they are all good for you. They can be used safely during pregnancy and when cuddling the new baby.
Essential oils
Our body and skincare products are like an aromatherapy session in a bottle because they are all infused with essential oils. This has benefits for the body (soothing aching muscles), the skin (supporting repair and rejuvenation) and the mind (soothing the nervous system and reducing stress). They create a replenishing, relaxing, aromatic experience.
Quick self-care
Mums are so busy looking after everyone else that sometimes they forget to look after themselves. They don’t have a lot of time for it! With Esker Fields, you don’t need a lot of time. Just take 30 seconds to apply hand cream or switch out your shower gel. Always bring the products up to your face and inhale deeply as this is the quickest way for essential oils to have their calming effect on the mind and body.
6 Gift Ideas for New Mums
Give a gift that mums will put to good use for its body care, skincare and wellbeing benefits all achieved in a matter of minutes.
Rollerballs
When going through a massive life change like having a baby, you need anchors to keep you steady. That’s what our aromatherapy rollerballs provide. A blend of pure essential oils, when applied to the pulse points and inhaled deeply, they work with the limbic system to relax the mind and body. It melts away stress and worry and grounds us in the present moment. The more you use it, the faster the effects as the brain learns to associate the aromas with calm. Check out the Relax rollerball and Sleep rollerball (or get the duo).
Pillow Mist
Sleep can feel pretty elusive in motherhood! When you have the chance to get a few winks, you want to make the most of it. The Sleep Please Mist creates a cocoon of calming essential oils that help you drift off to sleep. Again, the more you use it, the more effective it gets as you create a scent memory that signals to the brain and body it’s time to switch off and sleep.
Foot cream
The Lavender & Peppermint Foot Cream is one of my top products for mums. Firstly, it looks after the feet. When you’re pregnant or running after kids all day, your feet need some TLC. The essential oil soothes aching muscles while healing dry skin. The essential oils in this product are also really effective at soothing itchy skin. You can use it anywhere on the body for a cooling effect. So it’s a great one to have to hand during pregnancy.
Hand cream
Another great on-the-go product is the Moisturising Hand Cream. Massage it into your hands, cup your hands over your nose to inhale the essential oils, take a moment of calm and then carry on with your day feeling more balanced. Pop it in your bag and take it with you in case you need a top-up of calm.
Shower gel
Sometimes the only alone time you have as a mum is when you’re in the bathroom. Make the most of it! Our shower gels infused with essential oils either help you relax (Relax & Unwind blend) or give you a boost of energy (Refresh & Uplift blend). As you lather it in, it releases the gorgeous aromas and creates a mindful moment. I highly recommend pouring some shower gel into a running bath. It creates a lovely, relaxing aromatherapy bath. Plus, it pairs really well with this next product…
Body oil
Our two shower gel blends come with matching body oils in Relax & Unwind and Refresh & Uplift. Use these after a bath or shower to lock in the lovely aromas and deeply nourish the skin. It’s also great for massages. That’s another reason it’s a perfect product for mums! Their partner can massage away their stress and tension.
‘Look after yourself’ is such an important message for everyone, especially mums as they go on the wild yet wonderful journey of motherhood. Our aromatherapy body and skincare help them keep on top of the stress of it all, put themselves first just for a few minutes and take care of their skin too. Choose a selection of aromatherapy body and skincare products and send a pamper kit to a new mum.
