Reclaiming You: A Postnatal Home Spa Ritual with Madebyamidwife

Motherhood transforms you—physically, emotionally, and mentally. In the whirlwind of night feeds, nappies, and healing, it’s easy to forget that you matter too.

That’s why I created Madebyamidwife: a UK-based range of gentle, handmade products designed to bring a moment of calm, care, and connection—just for you.

Here’s how to create a simple at-home spa ritual using our natural postnatal self-care collection, crafted by a midwife who truly gets it.

🧼 Step 1: Cleansing & Exfoliating facial Balm with Grapefruit & White Clay

Start your ritual with our Cleansing & Exfoliating Facial Balm—a rich blend of plant butters, white clay and uplifting grapefruit essential oil.

This balm gently:

Removes daily build-up and impurities
Exfoliates with natural clay
Leaves skin soft, radiant, and clean without stripping

💡 Use a warm cloth to remove and enjoy a mini facial moment between feeds.

🚿 Step 2: Shower Steam, Reset Your Mind

No time for a bath? Our Aromatherapy Aromatherapy Shower Steamers – turn your daily wash into a mini escape.

Pop one on the floor of your shower, and inhale the gentle essential oil vapours as the steam rises—perfect for clearing a busy mind, lifting your mood, or soothing tension when sleep is scarce.

💡 Choose calming or energising scents depending on the time of day.

🍊 Step 3: Lather with Citrus Glow Mamma Soap with Bergamot & Lime Essential Oils – madebyamidwife

Crafted using the traditional cold-process method, our Citrus Glow Mamma Soap is handmade with nourishing oils and pure bergamot and lime essential oils.

This bar:

Cleanses without drying
Leaves skin gently scented
Feels like a small, joyful luxury in your daily routine

💡 Palm oil-free, plastic-free, and safe for sensitive postnatal skin.

✨ Step 4: Citrus Body Butter with Grapefruit & Lime – madebyamidwife

Lock in moisture with our rich Citrus Body Butter, infused with grapefruit and lime to brighten your mood and refresh your skin.

Made with:

Shea and cocoa butter for deep hydration
Vitamin E for skin recovery
A non-greasy finish that’s perfect after showering

💡 Massage into your bump, thighs, arms, or anywhere that needs softness and care.

🦶 Step 5: Don’t Forget Your Feet

Your feet have carried you through pregnancy, birth, and sleepless pacing. They deserve love too.

Our Peppermint Foot balm – madebyamidwife is:

Cooling, refreshing and soothing
Packed with nourishing oils and butters
Ideal for tired, swollen or aching feet

💡 Massage in at night, pop on cosy socks, and let the balm do its magic.

💖 More Than Skincare—It's a Ritual of Reconnection

At Madebyamidwife, everything is made by hand in the UK with no sulphates, no parabens, and no artificial fragrance—just plant-based ingredients your skin recognises.

Because postnatal care should feel simple, safe, and sacred—not complicated.

You’re not “bouncing back.” You’re healing. You’re growing. You’re doing an incredible job. And yes, you deserve to feel good in your skin again.
