Congratulations on your pregnancy mama! It is a wonderful time of your life when you experience a lot of changes, both physical and emotional. With Ava my skin was really good until after birth. Here are a few things you may experience.
When it comes to your skin, you may notices such as breakouts, stretch marks, and dryness. If you’re a part of the lucky bunch who haven’t experienced this… how do you like being God’s favourite LOL. I’m joking…
I will be sharing some of the must-have skincare products that every pregnant woman should consider adding to their routine.
1. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is an essential part of LIFE! Especially one of your pregnancy skincare must-haves.
Using sunscreen before going outside helps prevent sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer from occurring due to the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Sunscreen can also help reduce the risk of sunburns, which can be particularly uncomfortable during pregnancy. When choosing sunscreen, look for a broad-spectrum formulation with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Additionally, be sure to choose a sunscreen that is free of parabens, phthalates, and other potentially harmful chemicals.
Should I share some of my favourite sunscreens?
2. Moisturizer
During pregnancy, hormones can cause the skin to become dry and itchy.
Moisturizer helps to lock in the skin’s natural moisture and protect it from environmental damage.When selecting a moisturizer, look for one that is specifically formulated be free of any harsh chemicals or fragrances.
3. Cleanser
During pregnancy, I found my skin more oily at the end of the day.
The cleanser helps to remove dirt, oil, and bacteria from the skin, while also helping to maintain the skin’s natural pH balance. When selecting a cleanser, look for one that is specifically designed for sensitive skin, as it will be gentler on the skin.
4. Lip Mask
There are a variety of products specifically formulated for pregnancy that address all of our skincare issues without the worry of introducing harmful chemicals to a growing baby.
