What is the Best Perineal Spray to use Postpartum?
Imagine this:
You are in the hospital and have just given birth to your beautiful baby. Your life is changed forever…
You just spent hours in labor working hard to give birth to your baby (you go, Mama!). Although you are delighted to finally meet your baby, you are exhausted and you feel pain all over, especially "down there".
The nurse comes in and hands you a small kit to help you recover. The one thing in there to give you relief is a spray called "Dermoplast". After you use it you feel relief, but only for a short period of time. You are sent home with these supplies and still sore and in pain.
After a little research you find this…
Benzocaine (dermoplast) can cause itchiness, tenderness, and swelling. "Topical benzocaine usage is not recommended in patients that have deep wounds, lesions, or severe burns.”
You are shocked, you can believe you were handed this at the hospital!! And then you quickly google "what is the best Perineal Spray to use postpartum?" (Which might be why you're reading this).
Yes! What you just read about Dermoplast is absolutely true, and mind boggling that so many women have been deceived to believe that it will actually help them. On top of that, many new moms are encouraged by their provider to use a sitz bath or use Epsom salts. Most are filled with fragrances and dyes which can exacerbate open sores from hemorrhoids or vaginal tears.
This is why we created our Herbal Relief Body Mist. This is a Perineal spray that promotes healing with all-natural ingredients.
Here are the top ingredients:
Chamomile
Chamomile hastens wound drying and the process of epithelialization, which is important for the wound to successfully close. In a study, the antimicrobial activity of the chamomile extract showed a 61% reduction in the size of the wound, higher rate of epithelialization, as well as increased restoration of injured skin.

Centella
Stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts and increases collagen synthesis. It also has anti-inflammatory properties to provide lasting relief to the affected area.
The spray applies in a thin mist and provides instant, long-lasting relief. Plus, it is fragrance free to ensure there is no irritation.
Now, you can have pain relief that is safe, effective, and actually promotes healing.

How-To Firm Skin After Pregnancy
What I should've done during my first pregnancy!

First pregnancies can be scary and the fear of birth paralyzing.
Instead of taking action, you’re overwhelmed. You can only hope that your healthcare provider will make the best decisions for you.
I wish I’d been better prepared but I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I felt like birth was just one of those miserable experiences women have to push through and endure.
Now that I’m in my third trimester expecting my second baby, I’m choosing to embrace birth with intention.
What I’m doing differently this time around:
Choosing a Natural Birth:
This felt scary at first, but I want a redemptive and peaceful birth. One where I have the autonomy to move my body into positions that support my baby’s efforts to enter the world.
Embracing Knowledge:
Instead of letting fear take over, I’m absorbing as much information as possible. I’ve consulted with my midwife to craft my ideal birth plan. I’m also watching birth videos to get more comfortable with the experience.
Chiropractic Care:
I’m seeing a chiropractor to help me align my hips and back to help make the birth experience be more comfortable. I made sure to look for a chiropractor who is certified in the Webster technique to help ensure my baby is in optimal position for labor.
Pelvic Floor Specialist:
My pelvic floor specialist and I are preparing my body for birth. We’re doing exercises to learn how to relax certain muscles during delivery, strengthen my pelvic floor, and improve my postpartum recovery.
Postpartum Skin Care Products:
This time I’m not using the postpartum skin care products provided by the hospital. I didn’t know better the first time. I didn’t realize how many questionable ingredients were in those products that did nothing to support my healing process. Instead, I’ll be using my own products like the Boob Balm, Herbal Relief Body Mist, Lavender Soaking Salts, and Revitalize Postpartum Cream which I believe are the best postpartum skincare products. All of them can be found in my Postpartum Care Package.
Perineal Massage:
I combine the stretching technique with the Baby Cheeks Barrier Oil to reduce my chances of tearing. The oils help the skin to become more elastic and the stretching helps the skin become more flexible. It also teaches you to release tension during intensity and allow your body to expand.
Strength Workouts:
I’m incorporating strength workouts to reduce the aches and pains I felt during my first pregnancy. By working out at least twice a week I have almost completely eliminated back pain, sciatic pain, and abdominal pinching. I have been doing the Bodi Barre Prenatal workouts and absolutely love them!!
Comfort Measures:
I’m taking courses to have a variety of comforting techniques to use during birth—from the Bradley Method to Christian Hypnobirthing to reduce fear and allow oxytocin to flow during labor.
Belly Care:
Pregnancy hormones like Relaxin cause the skin to be less firm and often lead to stretch marks and cellulite. I have been strengthening my skin’s elasticity throughout pregnancy with our postpartum belly cream: the Revitalize Postpartum Cream. It contains Lupin extract that produces type I Collagen and increases skin elasticity and firmness. I have no stretch marks. The cellulite on my legs that I had at the beginning of my pregnancy has all but disappeared.
Strengthening My Faith:
Even though I’m doing everything in my power to prepare my body and mind for birth, there is still a whisper of fear in me. I’m strengthening my connection with God to replace that fear with faith. Believing in the knowledge that I was built for birth and that I can trust in Him for strength.
Preparing and planning for birth has felt like an extra full-time job. But, I feel so excited.
I hope this empowers you to decide and take charge of your baby’s birth and motherhood journey.
