Skincare During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman’s life. Your skin becomes more radiant and glowing. Some expecting mothers experience skin issues for the first time, such as melasma, also known as the “mask of pregnancy.” Pregnancy can also aggravate pre-existing conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea. Don’t worry, we are here to help you maintain that gorgeous pregnancy glow!
Your skin is going through a lot of changes during pregnancy. Hormone levels are surging, which can cause all sorts of skin issues. The good news is that there are a few things you can do to help your skin look its best.
First and foremost, get rid of any harsh chemicals in your skincare routine. This includes retinoids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, etc. Instead, look for products that contain gentle ingredients such as chamomile or green tea extract.
It’s also important to moisturize your skin regularly. Your skin is more susceptible to dryness during pregnancy, so using a good quality moisturizer will help keep your skin hydrated and glowing. We recommend moisturizing body butter, which contains organic shea butter and cocoa butter to nourish and protect your skin.
Finally, don’t forget to wear sunscreen! Melasma is caused by hormonal changes and exposure to the sun. To help prevent it, make sure to apply sunscreen every day, even if you’re just going for a walk around the block. Our Creme de Soleil Sunscreen SPF 30 is perfect for pregnant women because it contains zinc oxide, which provides excellent protection against UVA and UVB rays without being absorbed into the skin.
Pregnancy is an amazing time in a woman’s life but it can also be tough on your skin. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help alleviate common skincare issues such as dryness, sensitivity, and melasma. Be sure to ditch any harsh chemicals in your skincare routine, moisturize regularly, and wear sunscreen every day—even if you don’t plan on spending much time outdoors! By following these simple tips, you can help maintain that beautiful pregnancy glow!
