Frequently Asked Questions about Kopec Naturals Pregnancy Rash Relief

Our first and foremost priority is for you to improve the quality of your skin & reduce and eliminate your rash. Many of our customers purchasing our 4 oz Pregnancy Rash Relief have had similar questions, so we hope this list of frequently asked questions we improve your chances of doing so.

1. How long will it take for my skin to completely clear while using Pregnancy Rash Relief?

Some customers experience significant changes as early as the first couple of days and some it takes about a week. If you are experiencing any change in your skin, especially if Pregnancy Rash Relief soothes some of the pain and itch within the first week-two weeks then your skin is responding positively to Pregnancy Rash Relief and it is only a question of staying the course. If you use other products in addition to the Pregnancy Rash Relief, even certain soaps and moisturizers, then you could be interfering in the effectiveness of the Pregnancy Rash Relief.

2. Why should I use Pregnancy Rash Relief alone?

There are countless chemical toxins in multiple skincare products, and it can be impossible to determine which one might be contributing to your rash. I only know what Pregnancy Rash Relief can do for your skin, but I cannot stand behind my product if you mix Pregnancy Rash Relief with other topical remedies. Even certain soaps and moisturizers may seem harmless, but the less you stress your skin, the largest organ on the body, the faster you will experience results.

3. What should I be looking for to know Pregnancy Rash Relief is working for me?

If you see the slightest change in your skin within the first week to two weeks then Pregnancy Rash Relief is working for you. If your skin is responding to the Pregnancy Rash Relief then it is only a matter of time before the remedy begins to completely clear your skin. Some sample customers are looking for completely clear skin in the first few days, and that is not always a possibility. The longer you have had your rash sometimes the longer it takes to undo the damage to the skin and clean the skin of the toxins, and balance the skin pH.

4. If I cannot use other products, what can I wash my body with? Do you have a moisturizer?

We make a wonderful SLS free (see question #5) body wash called SLS Free Body Wash and we make a great stretch mark prevention oil called Smooth ‘n Stretch that is a great moisturizer as well because it improves the actual function of the skin. Smooth ‘n Stretch is the only stretch mark prevention product I know that contains a complete profile of skin nutrients and skin antioxidants to improve the actual function of the skin. It is difficult to know what is in other brands and their products, but since our goal is not only to clear your skin, but to improve the skin as an organ, we simplify the process by reducing the contaminants (such as SLS) that cause skin conditions. Other brands to consider for a simple and gentle clean while your rash is healing is Dr. Bonner’s castile soap and natural bar soaps that are made from pure olive oil.

5. What is SLS and why should I avoid it?

SLS stands for Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) Sulfate, or sometimes it is referred to as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. SLS is the ingredient that causes your liquid soaps, shampoos and toothpastes to foam. But SLS is quickly becoming a well know irritant and toxin. It can be such an irritant with anyone suffering from skin conditions, that we strongly recommend avoiding any and all products with SLS and any Lauryl Sulfate ingredient. Since our goal is to help you clear your skin, we hope you will consider removing at the very least the most common skin toxin, SLS, and we know it is in everything. And we try to make this as easy as possible by providing you with SLS Free products and recommending good brands of SLS Free products.

6. What do you recommend for shampoo that is SLS Free?

Aubrey Organics is an upstanding company and has recently added an SLS free line of shampoos and conditioners.

7. Why should I avoid mineral oil and petroleum jelly?

Petroleum based products including mineral oil can do more harm than good. These are chemical carcinogens that coat the skin and keep the skin from functioning properly. In a study by Columbia University a significant number of women with breast cancer had noticeable traces of petroleum in their breast tissue. Petroleum based products have recently been linked to a number of skin conditions such as rashes, eczema and other skin irritations.

8. What other information can you provide me with while I am healing from my rash?

A skin rash or skin condition can be caused by a reaction to a topical product or to a food source that we are unknowingly sensitive to or allergic to. Sometimes it is something that we have eaten our whole lives and would never consider being sensitive to, but pregnancy can bring about sensitivities that were not there before. Often the skin is reflecting an increase in the acidic state of the body, and there is a need to restore the acid/alkaline balance as well as treat the skin. Consider reducing or avoiding foods that are more acidic than others such as red meat, cow’s milk (keeping with cheeses and yogurts), white flour (switch to whole grains), tomatoes, citrus fruit and sugar in all forms (including high fructose corn syrup) and make sure you are getting proper nutrition, proper fluids and proper rest while healing. Getting adequate water is important and is often overlooked. Make sure you are drinking a minimum of half your body weight in ounces every day to ensure adequate water intake.

Supplements to consider for cellular and tissue renewal are Essential Fatty Acids such as a Flax oil supplement, and making sure you are getting a good source of calcium and magnesium. Calcium is not properly utilized by the body without adequate magnesium.

9. Can I email or call you if I have questions?

I am so very happy to help you improve the consciousness of your health, share my thoughts and experiences, and provide you with relevant information. I am here to help, but I will also urge you to take care of yourself because ultimately you are in charge of your own health and taking care of yourself. You are as healthy as you are willing to be.
