Synergy for Mama and Baby Skin Care

Holding your baby as you gaze in the mirror makes you realize one thing: Your skin is nowhere near as perfect as hers.

But inch that much closer with Synergy for Mama and Baby, a new line of lotions and potions from Synergy Day Spa.

Created with help from a local organic herbalist, the all-natural products include the Heal All balm, with sweet almond oil and calendula, for everything from diaper rash to sore nipples, and moisturizing creams, with chamomile and lavender-geranium, for sensitive new skin and cracking hands.

Plus, a portion of the proceeds goes to Pediatric AIDS/HIV Care.

Which should really make you glow.

Available at Synergy Day Spa, 1806 Vernon Street NW, between 18th and 19th Streets, suite c (202-667-1855 or synergydayspa.net).
