As women’s wellness booms across all industries, we're seeing spas tackling everything from prenatal and postpartum treatments to holistic menopausal care. This is especially resonant for me at the moment, having recently run the pregnancy-childbirth-postpartum gauntlet. So, I’m excited to share some of my personal favorites: Here are four of my top postpartum self-care products, both in and out of the treatment room.
1. Versine Calm & Hydrate Serum
This gentle azelaic acid serum helps fight hormone-related melasma, and it’s made with pregnancy-safe ingredients for prenatal skin care and beyond. www.versineskincare.com

2. Kneipp Arnica Muscle Rub
Arnica, menthol and mountain pine essential oil work to fight a sciatica flareup in the moment, especially when I can’t make it to the massage therapist. www.kneipp.com

3. Sorella Apothecary Body Kit
A dry brush is always appreciated, and I also used this Body Balm and Nectar on my pregnant belly to prevent stretch marks. They sink right in and smell like candy! www.sorellaapothecary.com
