Pregnant in winter?
Pamper your body with oil, it is the most natural texture (often free of preservatives) and enveloping. It is also the fastest way to nourish your body and preserve the elasticity of the tissues to avoid stretch marks. Choose the richest (coconut, avocado, argan, etc.), of course without the slightest trace of essential oil.
10. Special attention is paid to fragile areas
Hands, feet and lips deserve to be pampered because they suffer particularly in winter. Some hand creams even diffuse aromatic scents that help to relax (Sanoflore). For the feet, creams with a high percentage of urea work miracles in a week! Out of charity for your hands, be sure to choose dishwashing liquids with low stripping properties (Marius Fabre, L’Arbre Vert, Briochin, etc.).
