You will know it is incredibly sensitive to touch or even put clothes on. You're probably wearing compression garments at the moment. Generally, you'll have a six-week check-up. I would ask all the questions you have about it then, but before that, if there is any tingling, loss of sensation, pain, weeping, obviously we're not doctors, but that goes without saying, ask at your six-week check-up if it's okay. So anywhere kind of between six to 12 weeks, don't push it. If it feels too sensitive, get it, like don't push it.

But when you feel instinctively that it's right, and also start just around. So it's really good to massage. So massage will increase circulation and therefore healing and also help flatten. But I think speak to your doctor about your scars specifically. But just really sort of gentle, medium pressure, build up to medium pressure, circular motions. It feels quite nice when it's not sensitive. Or, sorry, not painful. It'll always feel a bit like, ooh.

Sort of. Yes, the nurse took them, but I'm like, how did that giant thing get out of there? Get out of that tiny little, oh, mine's pretty wide, but. Anyway, so you're going to gently massage. What you want to use is, I mean, there's a thousand brands on the market for postpartum that market, and it's great market to postpartum women. You just need something relatively natural, you know, no actives, obviously, so no sort of

Not that bioderma body oil that's got vitamin A in it. There's some Palmer's products that are quite active, I think. But just something quite natural, an oil or a slippy balm or body butter, and just massage, massage, massage. That will help with elasticity and hydration. But then during the day, or actually not during the day, whenever you're not doing that, the best thing you can do is a silicon tape. So again, there's thousands of brands. I started to list them all, and I was like, you know what, what I did? I just went on to Amazon, or you can go to Chemist Warehouse. Silicon tape's kind of,

It's pretty expensive, but the tape is so much better than the gels because the gels, it's like putting glue. It's like putting honey on your scar. I used body assist silicon scar tape. It's 20 bucks for this huge roll, just cut to size. And I wore that so much because it was just kind of comfortable. They taped mine under my scars. Oh my god, I had a lovely practice nurse remove my stitches.

So I just felt quite secure putting a tape on. You can use the gels, just use anything. I mean, silicon is proven to help wound healing, sorry, scar healing. But otherwise just use anything you want that's not sort of inactive. I mean, it's very rare to get a body thing that would upset it. But if you want to fade it, silicon. And if you want to flatten it, massage. Yes, that's a really good tip. I want to have a baby!

Do you? Well, no. I don't want another child, but I would like my child to be a baby again. Oh, I know. Babies are so easy. Oh, they're not. Seven-year-olds are beautiful and hard.

I'd carry for you. Do you want me to carry your baby? No, thanks. Well, speaking of babies, that just came out from under you. What is that? This is a dirty makeup brush, and I often have a dirty makeup brush in my bag. Do you? Yes, because you just fixed my makeup before we started filming, but I don't think that's normal. Like, I don't know many people that carry dirty makeup. But why, you ask, and why is it dirty?

It's dirty. It's got the product on it already. Let's not say dirty, it's used. Dirty makes me feel like it was in the bottom of your handbag and it's got chips and crisps and hair in it.

Okay, no. It's used. Used with makeup on it. That is very handy, and you helped me fix my bronzer before we started filming. Using a used makeup brush. And you literally go, get me your makeup, and I just handed you my used brush like it was an unspoken language. Yeah, you can see, but I don't think everyone does do that. So I never carry anything for touch-ups, but I will always have... What do you mean, nothing else? I've got like lips. Nothing else. That is so fly by the seat of your pants type B.

Yeah, it is. But that's me in a nutshell. I know. Well, mine is quite type A that I've never done before. Everyone knows this and I've told everyone to do this. I did it the other week for Click Frenzy sales, although I don't think they're called Click Frenzy anymore. There was a sale. There was always a sale. Well, they all just called it Frenzy. So I had wanted a particular thing from Sephora.

A few days before, and I did the same thing for Oz Hair and Beauty, a few days before I went on and added those things to my heart. This is for Sephora specifically, because this was the day I was pooping pants, so I had some time. Okay, let me explain it all first.

When this particular sale, this is just Sephora, happened, the website was like, I'm going to go in slow motion. I'm assuming there was a lot of people on there. I'd already put a bunch of stuff in my cart on my computer. Then I finished up on the app because I wanted to use my app code and get my presents. It worked. They spoke to each other.

Mutta minun syy on tukea karttasi tai laittaa asioita, joita haluat etsiä karttasi ensin päivän tai viikon aikana tai jopa jätetään ne sieltä. Ei mitään tapahtumaa, jos on jokainen sähköposti, jota katsot. Minulla oli niin paljon asioita sieltä, että voin mennä eteenpäin. Hienostin ja katsoin, mitä sähköpostissa oli. Yritin katsoa, jos haluaisin lisätä jotain muuta, mutta toivottavasti tämä sähköposti oli niin loppu, koska se oli niin populari.

I just removed the things that went on sale or made a quick edit. It was so fast and I didn't also panic buy. I tried to panic buy, but the website was so cocked up. You don't then miss out on things because they were already in your cart. Or you may, but you're not like, quick, what's my shade? It's sitting there. And then Oz Hair & Beauty, I did the same. I just wanted a few hair things and a makeup thing. Oh, guess what? Your favorite hair scrub was like 60% off. Sixty?!

Olin kertomassa sinulle, mutta minulla pysyivät pysyvät pysyvät pysyvät pysyvät pysyvät pysyvät pysyvät

Because they were all in my cart. So if anyone wants 65 packets of walkie talkies, I'm part way through returning them. Okay. Yeah, so don't come to her. But that's it for today. We hope you've enjoyed this episode. I just loved seeing you. You look very French today. I actually do. That wasn't even planned, but I really do. A bit of a sheer, chunky thing.
