As part of the female gender, we all experienced stretch marks...aren't we???
But what are exactly stretch marks?
Stretch marks appear when the skin overstretches and tears the deep derma fibers. The resulting scar tissue shows up as discolored lines of pink, reddish-brown or brown across the skin. This usually happens during pregnancy or rapid fluctuations in weight. Stretch marks caused by pregnancy have the name striae gravidarum. Common areas for stretch marks are the abdomen, hips, breasts and behinds.
Aromatherapy and plants are used for several centuries, some of them are used for thousands of years, aromatherapy uses essential oils, which are natural essences distilled from plants and flowers for natural wellbeing and healing purposes. These extracts have physiological, psychological and spiritual benefits. By applying specified essential oils to the skin during pregnancy, you might not even get stretch marks at all. If you already have stretch marks, however, essential oils can help you.
My DIY recipe to prevent stretches during pregnancy :
To be used AFTER the third month of pregnancy!!!
-6 tbsp of tamanu vegetal oil
-6 tbsp of hazelnut vegetal oil
-2 tbsp of rosehip oil
-5 drops of helichrysum essential oil
-5 drops of lavender essential oil
Rub gently your hips and stomach area with your mixture and allow it to penetrate into your skin
My DIY recipe to treat stretch marks after pregnancy and after breastfeeding:
-2tbsp of tamanu vegetal oil
– 2 tbsp of rosehip vegetal oil
– 2 tsp of rosemary verbenone
– 2 tsp of cystus essential oil
-2 tsp of lavender essential oil
Use 10 drops of your blend on your stretched area by gently “pinching” your skin and marks, use it 3 times per day until improvement.

Through our blog and social medias pages, we will also aim to bring you the very best recipes and advice to help you and inspire you every step of the way.
A little about our name, the Spoiled Bee comes from the desire of protecting our beautiful bees and of course spoiling them! Did you know scientists agree that if all bees were to disappear from the face of the earth, humanity only has about 4 years left to live due to the lack of pollination? That is why we have decided to offer among many other products and ingredients, a range of bee products which also happen to have amazing properties for your body, skin and hair.
Now we know you are probably wondering how encouraging the commerce of bee products will help the bee population? Well, over the last few decades, bee products have unfortunately and often rightly been associated with harsh harvesting and mass production to keep up with the growing demand. We will never be doing that in a million (or trillion) years! We make sure that all our bee products are harvested in a sustainable and respectful manner by carefully selecting trusted bee keepers.
All the hives are located in flowery fields and forests, away from all modern pollution and chemicals and the beekeepers always make sure our bees have more than enough honey left for winter. The more hives, the more the bee population of the world will thrive once again so please help us help them!
Lots of Love
The Spoiled Bee Team Xx
