Introduce yourself and what you do in a sentence!
Hey everyone, I’m Jocina and I teach!
What’s one piece of advice you’d give to Clarins’ customers and the #LBCommunity for each pregnancy milestone?
During pregnancy
Spend loads of time with your partner before the little one comes along!
At the hospital
Focus on your recovery! You deserve a break (:
After Delivery
Don’t be too hard on yourself, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. I struggled so much with it at the beginning and it really affected my mood so much in the first few weeks. The important thing is that baby is eating and growing well.
"Pregnancy is just the start of the journey on motherhood! When the baby arrives, that’s when it really starts."

What are some of the common skincare concerns or skin issues you faced during pregnancy, and what would be your advice or solution?
I had a really bad rash breakout on my limbs and some on my tummy area. They were really red and angry-looking, and it affected me a lot as they were also really itchy. My advice would be to seek professional help quickly just to rule out any complications and to get a peace of mind for yourself instead of worrying constantly about it / trying to self-remedy it on your own.
It turned out that it was an allergy reaction that I had most likely with regards to an insect bite and the rash reaction may have been amplified due to pregnancy. It eventually did clear out in time, so I’m really thankful for that!
Which is your favourite Clarins Maternity product, and why?
I love the Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil! I used it almost every day when I was pregnant. I love the relaxing scent of it, and how it helps to improve the skin’s elasticity and leaves my skin feeling very soft!
What are some beauty essentials on your journey towards motherhood?
A good moisturiser for your face and body, as well as a good stretch marks cream like the Clarins Body Partner Stretch Mark Expert.
Which is your favourite Love, Bonito Embrace piece, and why?
The Cornelia Textured Swing dress — I imagine it to be really comfy for pregnant ladies cause of the roomy space for the bump to grow into, as well as it being super convenient for the increasing number of trips to the bathroom.
