Shawn Johnson East, the 31-year-old gymnast who is currently pregnant with her third child with husband Andrew East, strongly recommends using Bio-Oil for all the mothers and mothers-to-be. She confidently claims that this skincare brand is responsible for maintaining the smoothness of her expanding belly.

Shawn revealed, "I incorporate it into my nightly routine without fail. Before going to sleep, I generously apply lotion all over my body, ensuring to target any noticeable bumps."

Expanding on the subject, she added, "Although I'm unsure if it's due to genetics, I have been fortunate enough to avoid stretch marks during my pregnancies, and I genuinely attribute this to the effectiveness of Bio-Oil. I appreciate that it doesn't leave a heavy, greasy residue and absorbs beautifully. Additionally, it feels incredibly lightweight on my skin."

Shawn attributed her pregnancy glow to applying Bio-Oil to her belly and adopting a mindset of not overthinking and staying hydrated. According to Shawn, many people tend to stress over the numerous changes and skincare routines they believe are necessary during pregnancy. In her opinion, it doesn't have to be overly complicated. She personally sticks to her usual makeup and skincare products and aims to maintain a sense of normalcy throughout her pregnancy.

With two pregnancies under her belt, Shawn has become a pro at prioritizing self-care — even if she only has a small window of time. "You'd be amazed. I manage to complete my entire nighttime routine in just a couple of minutes," she shared with Us. "I simply find a few moments before bedtime. I'm fortunate to have an incredible support system; my husband is an exceptional teammate who ensures I have the time to take care of myself and the baby before our other little ones wake up."

Shawn and Andrew, both 32 years old, got married in April 2016. Shawn, a former NFL player, shared that prioritizing personal time is important to her, not just in her beauty routine but in all areas of her life. She explained that she used to focus on pleasing others during her childhood and 20s, but now she focuses on doing things that make her feel good. She wants to pass on this mindset to her children. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Drew Hazel, in October 2019, and their second child, a son named Jett James, in July 2021.

Shawn, along with others, also expressed this sentiment. On Wednesday, September 26, Shawn joined forces with Bio-Oil to launch the Labor of Love campaign. This campaign aims to honor and appreciate the labor and delivery hospital staff for their invaluable "service, kindness, and selflessness."

On that day, Shawn pleasantly surprised the staff at the Williamson Medical Center, located near her hometown of Nashville, by delivering essential care packages on behalf of Bio-Oil.

“This campaign was a no-brainer for me to collaborate with because I've been using Bio-Oil since my first pregnancy," Shawn shared with Us. "Labor and delivery nurses, as well as obstetricians, play such vital roles, and I was thrilled at the opportunity to express my gratitude and give back to them."
