Stretch Marks:
Burke had to be back in a bikini three months after childbirth to shoot her new calendar. How did she ensure that her body would be free of stretch marks?

“I rubbed oil into my hips, belly and breasts every day, twice a day,” she says. “You can use shea butter, cocoa butter, almond oil, or any natural oil. It’s really essential.”

Hair care:
Burke says expectant mothers’ hair needs all the love it can get. “I try to oil my ends as much as possible with coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil – any oil will do,” she says. “I always use a rich conditioner and try to blow dry/style as little as possible. My favorite shampoo/conditioner now is Kerastase. I love their hair mask.”

Skin care:
Burke swears by the Amanda Darling Bio Genetic skin care line available at www.skinprincess.com. “I love her topical vitamin C products, and I alter my routine to meet the pregnancy restrictions,” she says. “I never go in the sun without sunscreen – the ‘pregnancy mask’ can be very difficult to control. I have found that bleaching, after Baby of course, and under an esthetician's care, can help diminish the spots.”
