The Full Reveal - the limited edition Mum and New Baby Gift Box, worth over £220
By Michelle Darlow
After having my first baby I always remember thinking everyone prepares you for the birth, but what about afterward - hello sore skin, the absolute lack of sleep, and zero me-time.
We’ve created the special Mum and New Baby Gift Box with all of that in mind.
Worth over £220, this pretty and practical collection is packed with 11 face and body skincare and wellness products (eight of which are full-size) to cater to the delicate needs of both mum and baby for pregnancy and beyond.
From sensory treats and sculpting serums to multi-tasking products for both her and bubba, this is the ultimate present for a new mother (plus a big hug).
Not only are they must-have treats from some of the best in the business including My Expert Midwife, Aromatherapy Associates and Dr. Lipp, but they’re all tried and tested by our team of OK! beauty editors - and most importantly mums!
Worth over £220, this limited edition OK! Beauty Box costs you just £49.99 to buy - that’s a saving of over 77%!
