With Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, going into the early stages of labour, it's never been a better time to think about your own birthing plan and the best and most gentle products for you new little prince or princess. With royal baby fever hitting an all-time high, these are favourite products fit for a royal.
Best beauty products for labour
Before your new little bundle of joy arrives, you need to think about your own pre-labour routine, and the products that are going to help you feel calm and relaxed before you give birth.
Our favourite product is the Mama Mio Push Pack, which is a bundle of products designed to help you through the stresses of labour. It contains the brand's cult Superstar in a Jar Multi-Balm to help keep lips, cuticles and elbows soft and smooth while waiting around, a Way to Glow Facial Spritz to soothe you when you feel hot and bothered, and a Pick Mama Up Massage Oil to promote feelings of relaxation and calm when you're feeling achy.
If you're feeling quite stressed, and not enjoying the smells of the hospital around you, try spritzing a couple of sprays of the Mio Liquid Yoga Homeopathic Spray. It smells incredibly fresh, and as its name suggests, helps you get into your own zen zone.
One of Kate Middleton's reportedly favourite products is the Trilogy Organic Rosehip Oil. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, it's great to use on stressed-out skin, which is perfect during labour. Plus, it gives an amazing glow and luminosity to the skin; it's definitely one of our all-time skincare favourites.
Best products for a new royal baby
Your new royal baby deserves only the very best in beauty, which is why we have selected our edit of the highest-quality and gentle products below.
We all know babies cry and sleep at the most awkward times, but if you want to help him or her along when he/she does get some shut-eye, try spritzing a little of the Aurelia Sleep Time Pillow Mist onto their cot bedding. It contains rose quartz crystal, angelica, chamomile and lavender to soothe frayed nerves and help them dose off into a peaceful slumber. We also love their Comfort & Calm Rescue Cream, which can be used on dry skin and nappy rash to soothe sore areas.
Bathtime is a great time to bond with your new baby, which is why we love the Love Boo Soft & Splashy Bubbles. Made from gentle and natural ingredients like marshmallow plant extract and Tahitian Monoi, it not only smells divine, but leaves you and baby perfectly cleansed.
