During pregnancy I use mild soap-free cleansers
In pregnant women, the epidermis becomes more sensitive. Dermatologists recommend swapping soaps and bubble baths for toilet bars, soap-free shower gels or washing oils. They cleanse the skin without damaging the surface hydrolipidic film, which is a natural protector.
Pregnant: I hydrate from head to toe
To reinforce the benefits of ultra-gentle hygiene products and prevent the occurrence of redness and irritation, we cream each day generously from head to toe with hypoallergenic body care. If that is not enough, we buy in pharmacies products specially formulated for sensitive and reactive skin, without perfume or preservatives.
Often during pregnancy the epidermis of the face dries up a little, and since the blood circulation is slightly disturbed, it blushes more easily. If this happens to us, we apply a anti-redness moisturizer as a day cream.
I adopt a special deodorant for sensitive skin
From the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, sweating increases. To stay fresh at all times, we opt for a long-lasting deodorant, formulated alcohol and irritant antibacterial free. If you are more green, you make your own deodorant with baking soda and buy an Alum stone in an organic store.
Anti-stretch mark creams for critical areas
Stretch marks can set in from the 5th month of pregnancy on the stomach, thighs, buttocks and breasts. They are caused by weight gain and increased secretion of cortisol, a hormone that destroys collagen fibers, responsible for the suppleness of the skin, and the cells that make them. To prevent the appearance of these unwanted marks, a preventive cream is applied daily to all target areas which improves the elasticity of the skin. We massage for a long time to promote local micro-circulation and help our skin to relax gently.
I take care of my breasts during pregnancy
From the start of pregnancy, the mammary gland becomes heavier and more sensitive. To relieve it and preserve the elasticity of the skin that supports it, here are some golden rules: wear a comfortable bra that supports the breasts without compressing them, even if it means changing the size as soon as it tightens a little. We strengthen our pectorals by pressing his palms against each other, in order to optimize the good hold of our bust. End your shower by rinsing your breasts gently with cool water to reduce feelings of tension and boost blood circulation, then apply gel or spray to the bust, packed with tensing active ingredients.
I treat my little pimples
Hormone surges make you more oily skin and you see blackheads and small acne pimples appear? No need to run to the dermatologist, because the treatments he may prescribe you are not recommended during pregnancy. To find flawless skin, cleanse your face with an antibacterial gel foaming and non-aggressive, do once or twice a week scrub masks and apply a daily purifying and mattifying day care. Apply an anti-imperfection stick to any redness and pimples.
I prevent the pregnancy mask
The pregnancy mask appears under the influence of hormones during sun exposure. To avoid it, apply a very high index sunscreen, even in the city, from the first rays of sun until the beginning of autumn, on the face and neck. Do not forget to renew the application regularly in the event of a prolonged outing. In the sea and in the mountains, this is not enough. Additionally protect your face with a wide-brimmed hat or visor.
Pregnant: I lighten my legs
From the 4th month of pregnancy, most women suffer from venous problems. The legs are heavy, swollen, painful. To lighten them up, offer them a cool shower of calves and feet, wear anti-fatigue stockings or tights as soon as you wake up to prevent the dilation of the superficial veins, and apply a anti-heaviness gel or spray. Also remember to rest by elevating your feet to promote the return of blood to the heart.
I play the healthy glow effect, even when pregnant
To enhance your face, even out your complexion with a mattifying fluid. Erase your dark circles with a complexion corrector. Then apply a touch of pink blush on the rounded cheekbones to accentuate the healthy glow that accompanies your curves. To refine your cheeks or erase a double chin, sweep the areas that are too thick with a sun-kissed earth. A hint of mascara on the eyelashes, a brilliant gloss on the lips, and you shine!
