Once you discover that a little one is growing inside you, you tend to change habits and make better decisions. What food should I eat? Should I go organic? Do I need to moisturize often?
There would be a lot of changes in hormones which can affect every system in the body, thus it is important to use pregnancy-friendly products just like in your skincare regimen. Pregnancy-friendly products for skin are probably not one of the top priorities during a woman’s first trimester but it is actually the best time to adjust and learn which products to use and avoid.
See our recommendations below to keep your skin healthy while keeping your baby safe at the same time.
1. Stay in tune with your skin.
During this time, your skin is usually dry, dull, and even dotted with blemishes due to hormonal changes. Pay attention to these changes and adapt your daily skin care routine to address these new concerns.
For DRY SKIN, use L’occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil which deeply nourishes and improves skin suppleness.
For DULL COMPLEXION, treat your skin to a course of vitamins by applying Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil at night before you sleep. It tightens pores, clears and normalizes sebaceous secretions
2. Prevent Stretch marks
When your skin is overstretched, lines may appear on the stomach, hips, breasts, and even the back of arms. Boost your skin’s resistance by applying Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks on your skin after bathing or whenever your skin feels dry up to two or three times per day for the best prevention of stretch marks.
3. Massage your legs gently and ease the tensions
During pregnancy, your calves and your ankles are prone to swelling. To relieve these heavy and painful sensations, stimulate your circulation as much as possible and give your legs a gentle yet refreshing and toning massage using Clarins Energizing Emulsion.
