This single most forgotten after-shower (and possibly before-bed) step in body care can change how your belly looks and feels – AND how you feel about your body.
Make your belly (not just your arms, legs, and back) look soft, smooth, and firmed with this one daily practice that will help your surface skincare transcend to true self-care, more confidence, and deeper self-love.
Do you feel incredibly conscious when the mirror reflects a line across your stomach—the presence of that faint “belt line,” or lines all over crepey-looking skin on your belly? Or the soft overhang with skin that looks dry where waistbands sit? You’re not alone!
The belly is probably the most forgotten part of body care. It’s as if your belly just doesn’t exist! Or if it does, it must be hushed and shushed and hidden away into ignorance.
Or worse, it gets ridiculed by words and phrases that describe the unusualness of different shapes, sizes and textures with no regard for whether or not it has gone through pregnancy, hormone imbalance, or any other challenges!
💛 Why Belly Skincare?
Your belly has held so much! Laughter, tension, full meals, deep breaths, maybe even a little one. It stretches, softens, tightens, changes. But unknown to us, it becomes one of the most sensitive, stretched, and overlooked areas of our skin, especially during times of big life changes like pregnancy, weight shifts, bloating, or hormonal cycles. Despite diet & exercise, a hormonal belly may look & feel bloated, heavy, or stretched. This is due to an imbalance of metabolism-regulating hormones in the body. Belly skin after giving life also doesn't just 'bounce back'. It goes on a healing journey of its own.
Our Belly skin goes through a lot:
-
It stretches and contracts more than almost any other part of body
-
It can feel itchy, dry, or tight (especially during pregnancy or PMS)
-
It may feel bloated & heavy during stress or menstruation
-
It’s home to your gut, the center of your body’s balance
-
It may look saggy or crepey as age progresses
By giving your belly regular care with nourishing, soothing, and firming ingredients, you’re not just caring for this skin, you’re supporting body confidence, comfort, and connection.
We believe EVERY belly deserves to shine gloriously.
This is why Belly skincare is one of the most underrated ways to show love to your body! And how do you show your deep admiration to the center of your body?

Belly Abhyanga
What is this confidence and care-boosting solution –
the post-shower belly ritual?
Belly Abhyanga: Belly-Abby-what?!
Let’s not talk Greek (well, Sanskrit in this case, actually) - this can well be translated to what we know as Massage here in the West. The authentic pronunciation of this word, Abhyanga is “Ubh-young-aah".
This is an ancient, 5000-year old practice that involves massaging your whole body every morning with an Ayurvedic oil.
Aaayouuuu-what?
Pronounced as “Aaah-you-rrrr-way-daa", Ayurveda is the ancient science of life that uses natural remedies using herbs, plants and lifestyle practices to help live a healthier, happier life. One such Ayurvedic oil, excellent for body massage is:
But First-
6 Reasons Why the Most-Forgotten Bodycare Step of Belly Abhyanga or Massage is Amazing For You:
#1
Improves the Feel of Skin Softness + Smoothness
-
Regular massage boosts the spread and absorption of emollients like oils or butters.
-
It softens rough, dry, and patchy-looking skin, leaving it feeling hydrated, smooth, and comforted.
-
Creates a moisturizing layer that visibly improves the look of tight or flaky skin folds.
#2
Helps Restore the Look of Supple Skin
-
Daily massage may also improve the look of skin elasticity over time.
-
The firm, rhythmic strokes used in massage help skin appear lifted and firm or look less saggy or tired, especially when dryness makes it look more aged.
#3
Reduces the Look of Puffiness or Dullness
-
Rhythmic massage encourages surface-level lymphatic movement, helping skin look brighter, less congested, and less puffy.
-
Particularly effective where skin looks tired or neglected due to constant folding.
#4
Encourages Look of Better Skin Tone + Even Texture
-
The stimulation from massage may support a more radiant looking tone and fresher skin surface, especially where dryness and friction lead to patchiness or rough spots.
-
Massaging oil into the skin helps visibly awaken dull, lifeless areas, encouraging a more even, healthy-looking appearance.
#5
'Abhyanga' Promotes Digestive Comfort and Relaxation
In Ayurveda, belly abhyanga means gently massaging the abdomen with warm oil to calm "vāta" (the body’s “wind”/mobility principle), honor the umbilical “vital point” (or nabhi marma in Sanskrit) , and tend to "agni"—the “digestive fire” that transforms food; traditional Ayurvedic texts that date back thousands of years, endorse daily oiling (abhyanga) to pacify vāta and protect vital areas, and list the navel among key points on the body, while describing the primary digestive fire being housed in the gut region just above the navel. The lower abdomen is Vata’s home. Oiling here helps ground Vata and is traditionally used to encourage regular bowel movements and reduce that “airy/bloated” feeling. In Ayurveda this practice of traditional massage, translates to slow, clockwise strokes around the navel to “warm” agni and ease gas/bloating, with a modern read that soothing abdominal touch can help the body slip into a parasympathetic, “rest–digest” state.
#6
Strengthens Your Self-Care Relationship with Your Body
-
Beyond physical effects, belly massage fosters body positivity and care — often missing for those self-conscious about their bellies.
-
This emotional comfort can reinforce consistency in skin rituals, which leads to visible benefits over time.
-
Massage reclaims the area from being a source of discomfort to a space of gentle ritual, care, and reconnecting with your body.
-
Applying oil with gentle massage can also encourage personal body awareness, circulation, and emotional care—especially valuable for those struggling with body image.
One 3-minute post-shower or pre-bed ritual can help skin on every kind of midsection look smooth & firm, waistband creases feel comforted and dryness beautifully moisturized.
Be it wearing a cute crop top you were eyeing wistfully, or wearing that sexy bikini you put back into the wardrobe. Covering up due to being plus size or feeling conscious of your midriff due to crepey skin...when you learn to truly love your body through this daily ritual, you will confidently flaunt it all!
In addition to the benefits of just massage itself, Daily Body Massage with Balaayah Black Gram Body Booster Body Oil can help:
-
Address Dryness, Discomfort, Pronounced Appearance of Lines and Wrinkles
Like the rest of your body, skin under the apron, under the folds, or around your belly can feel dry, look wrinkly or flaky. Massage with Balaayah Black Gram Body Booster can help moisturize and soften the look and feel of such areas.
-
Improves the Feel of Skin Elasticity
The very act of massage helps the skin look supple and plumper-looking. Regular massage with the velvet-smooth Balaayah Body Oil may help firm the appearance of skin that looks stretched or saggy, with a lovely, touchable feel.
-
Soothes Rough, Chafed-Feeling, Irritated-Looking Skin
The oil’s hydrating and comforting texture can offer a softening layer that helps reduce the look of irritation from friction or tight clothing.
Be it bra marks on your underbust or belt marks on your waist, at the end of the day, a nice, caring massage with Balaayah eases out the creases and can make unwinding all the more comfortable.

Why this page exists
(and why you haven’t heard this before):
Body oil usually means arms and legs. The center gets skipped—even though belts, high-rise denim, and everyday sedentary life leave their visual proof right across the middle. Balaayah makes the belly skincare step easy: 3 minutes, post-shower, every day.
Today’s beauty ideals leave little room for real bellies—the ones with curves, softness, scars, and stories. In a world where only flat bellies are celebrated, we choose to honor every belly: the one that holds your body together, the one that may or may not have once sheltered a baby, the one that carries weight and history. It deserves attention, not avoidance. In Ayurveda, digestion sits at the center of one’s entire wellbeing—mental, physical, and emotional—and the belly is where this fire is nurtured; let’s respect and care for it not with chemicals but with wholesome, holistic lifestyle habits like gentle massage and clean, natural products such as Balaayah. Every belly is worthy—soft, strong, scarred, or smooth. Care for it with gentle rituals, self-massage, and clean, natural support like Balaayah.
Add Balaayah Black Gram Body Booster to your pre or post-shower routine and give this most “forgotten” area the easiest upgrade.
Daily belly massage with Balaayah can help the midsection look smoother and the belt-line appear softer.
In fold-prone areas, Balaayah body oil cushions the surface with moisture so skin looks smoother, soft and radiant after a massage.

FAQ
Is it only for the belly?
No! Balaayah Black Gram Body Booster is a Body Oil! Use it anywhere skin feels dry or looks creased or rubbed—under-bra line, hip folds, flanks, arms, legs, neck or chest – your (external) body is your canvas!
How soon will I see anything?
Immediately after a massage, users reported skin typically looks dewier, feels softer, smoother and more moisturized. With daily use, skin may appear tighter, firmer, more moisturized, softer thanks to consistent moisturization and gentle massage strokes. Keep it going to maintain the look and feel.
Will this shrink my belly?
No. This is a cosmetic body oil. It helps skin look smoother after massage. No product reduces fat or permanently tightens skin. Don’t buy into a lie. This is about the look/feel of the surface after regular massage with a superior choice of oil.
Any precautions?
Patch test for individual allergies first; stop if irritation occurs. If you have a firm, one-sided, or painful bulge or recent abdominal surgery/hernia, avoid deep pressure and see a clinician. This product is not for medical treatment. Do not apply inside moist, active skin folds or on broken, weeping, or infected skin—keeping folds dry is the priority if intertrigo or maceration is present. If there’s a persistent rash, odor, or pain, seek medical care. Not tested for use during pregnancy and lactation. Please consult physician before use.

Slathering on more chemicals than those we’re already exposed to isn’t skincare, and it is surely not self-care. Real care begins when you’re mindful of what you’re feeding your skin through its largest organ—your pores. Balaayah is true care born from nature.
Massage your body with Balaayah each day, and it becomes more than a ritual—it becomes a quiet affirmation: I’m doing something good for myself.
Making Abhyanga a habit means more than just the feeling of being nourished. It’s a gentle, grounding way to tell every inch of your skin, through action, not words: I see you. I care for you. I love you.
Because your actions speak louder than any affirmation ever could. And your body listens—deeply—and responds with blossoming beauty.
