What is Centella Asiatica?
Centella Asiatica, also known as gotu kola, is a small herb that has been used in traditional skin care for centuries. In modern formulations it is extracted into a clear, gentle liquid that can be added to creams, gels and lotions. The ingredient is valued for its soothing properties and its ability to help maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance during the changes of pregnancy.
How Centella Works for Pregnancy Skin
During pregnancy the skin undergoes subtle shifts in hydration and elasticity. Centella Asiatica helps support the skin’s natural barrier by encouraging a gentle, daily routine that keeps the surface hydrated and calm. It is often paired with light, fragrance‑free bases that are safe for sensitive skin, ensuring that the product does not trigger irritation or dryness.
Key Highlights for Maternity Use
• Supports skin resilience and elasticity
• May help reduce the visible appearance of stretch marks by keeping the surface smooth
• Works well with supportive wear, creating a complete skin‑care system that feels comfortable and effective
Why Secret Saviours Uses Centella
Secret Saviours is a UK brand that specialises in maternity support wear and skin care. Our patented Derma Dot technology provides gentle, breathable support for the belly and hips. To complement this mechanical support, we add Centella Asiatica to our day gel and night cream. The botanical ingredient works in harmony with the support wear, ensuring that the skin stays hydrated and feels nurtured throughout the day and night.
Combining Centella with Derma Dot Technology
The Derma Dot bands, bras and leggings are designed to provide a soft, supportive fit that adapts to the body’s changes. When the skin is kept moisturised and calm with Centella‑infused products, the overall comfort of the support wear is heightened. The combination creates a balanced routine where the body is supported physically and the skin is cared for gently.
How to Use Centella in Your Routine
Use the Secret Saviours day gel in the morning after cleansing. Apply a thin layer to the belly, hips and thighs, then let it absorb before dressing. At night, use the night cream to provide deeper hydration while you sleep. The lightweight texture means it can be layered under or over the Derma Dot support wear without adding bulk. Consistency is key – use the products daily to maintain a smooth, moisturised surface that feels calm and supportive.
