Taking care of your skin and yourself during pregnancy
During pregnancy, the skin changes, it stretches, sometimes dries out, and becomes more reactive. It requires more gentleness, more targeted care, but above all regular actions to bring it comfort, suppleness and radiance . Adapting your beauty routine then becomes a real ritual, not only to feel good in your body, but also to prevent and accompany these changes with kindness .
Here are 4 simple and natural habits to incorporate into your daily life for radiant and healthy skin during these nine special months.
Moisturize intensely to preserve skin elasticity! As your body changes and your skin gradually stretches, moisturizing is the key to maintaining suppleness and preventing tightness.
💡 The right move : Apply an ultra-nourishing oil or balm morning and evening, focusing on stressed areas such as the stomach, hips, chest and thighs. A daily massage stimulates circulation and strengthens the skin's elasticity.
🌿 The natural tip : Pure shea butter, combined with a few drops of sweet almond oil or rosehip oil, deeply nourishes and strengthens skin resistance .
Take care of your face for a radiant complexion! Pregnancy hormones have a direct impact on facial skin: some expectant mothers see their skin glow, others face acne breakouts, redness or an uneven complexion .
💡 The right move : Cleanse your skin with a gentle treatment , without aggressive surfactants, then apply a suitable moisturizer , rich in soothing and anti-oxidant active ingredients.
🌿 The natural tip : A homemade mask made from honey and white clay helps to gently purify and brighten the complexion.
Protect your skin from the sun to avoid pregnancy mask! Under the effect of hormones, the skin becomes more sensitive to UV rays , which promotes the appearance of melasma (pregnancy mask) , these small brown spots that appear on the forehead, cheekbones or upper lip.
💡 The right move : Apply SPF 50 sunscreen every morning, summer and winter, and choose mineral protection that respects your skin and that of your baby.
🌿 The natural tip : To soothe the skin after exposure, apply a cotton pad soaked in chamomile or cornflower floral water , known for their calming and unifying properties.
Pamper your legs to relieve the feeling of heaviness! With blood circulation slowed by hormones and the weight of your stomach pressing on your veins, your legs can feel heavy and tired at the end of the day.
💡 The right move : Gently massage your legs with a fresh gel or light oil, using upward movements , from the ankles to the knees, to stimulate venous return.
🌿 The natural tip : A foot bath in cold water with added Epsom salt and a few drops of peppermint essential oil (with the approval of a professional) provides immediate relief.
A daily ritual for radiant and soothed skin! During pregnancy, taking care of yourself becomes a special moment , a ritual that soothes both the body and the mind . Moisturize, protect, massage, relieve... these simple but essential actions accompany your skin in its transformations, gently prepare it and naturally enhance it.
