By late afternoon, pregnant legs can feel heavy, tight and hot. This light gel from Weleda's Mum range is made for those moments. It smooths on in seconds and leaves your legs feeling fresher and cooler, with a zesty lemon scent.
It's made with natural ingredients, including witch hazel, arnica and burdock root, and it's oil-free, so it sinks in quickly and won't mark your clothes. Weleda says it's suitable for use in pregnancy and can be applied under compression socks.
Massage it upwards from ankle to thigh in gentle circles. Keep treated skin out of the sun afterwards.
