5 Skincare Products You Need During Pregnancy
Been there, done that. Been through two pregnancies. I could go on and on for days talking about pregnancy safe products, but I want to keep this blog post short and sweet. Skincare is such an important topic when you are pregnant. As most of us not experts and dermatologists, we are often very hesitant to use any skincare care products. Some of us, stop using skincare all together during pregnancy. It does not have to be that way. There are so many great products that pregnant women can use without worrying. Here are 5 skincare products I swore by during my entire 2 pregnancies.
1. Fresh Rose Instant Hydration Mist
I really enjoyed using this mist. This mist is an extremely hydrating. If you like the smell of roses, you will enjoy this product a lot. After application, my face literally feels refreshed and soft. This mist also does help to reduce the look of pores. This mist is multi-purpose, it could be used before and after application of make-up. I truly enjoyed this mist throughout all my pregnancy. Couldn’t love it more.
It should be noted that most of the Fresh products are pregnancy safe. This brand offers good variety of products that are safe to use during pregnancy. Fresh never disappoints. When in doubt hit the Fresh Beauty store.
2. La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
A classic! A legend! This is a trusted brand that I have been loving for so many years now. This moisturizer is magical! Key ingredients are Glycerin, Niacinamide, Ceramide-3 and thermal water. It restores the skin barrier. It hydrates, soothes and repairs the skin. It has prebiotic benefits that balance the skin microbiome. It is literally nutrient dense magical moisturizer that is created to give your skin everything it needs. It is extremely hydrating. After application, my skin is soft and adequately hydrated. Perfect for everyday use. It is safe for sensitive skin. I have never had a reaction to it. I just love it so much. I cannot recommend enough. Also, this moisturizer is very affordable as 1 tub lasts a very long time. From my experience, I can safely say that this is my absolutely go to moisturizer. I always keep it in hand just in case if I need a safe moisturizer to fall back on. Obviously, during my pregnancy this moisturizer remained to be my holy grail. I couldn't be more in love with this one.
3. Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir
I am biased. I am a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury. Whatever I have tried from them, I end up loving it. I am in love with their skincare. However, I am having a hard time justifying the price point but this serum is really good. Here is why I love it. I have a sensitive skin therefore I sometimes have a hard time finding skincare that does not irritate my skin. This serum does not irritate my skin. It absorbs fast and it doesn’t leave a tacky and sticky feeling. It helps with fine lines. When I used it about a month, I started to notice that my fine lines disappearing. My skin was firmer. On top of that I had a healthy glow which I adored. I still use this amazing serum to this day.
4. Ren Skincare Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm
When your skin needs extra love and hydration, this is the skincare product you should have it in hand. This balm is formulated by amazing ingredients such as yellow passion fruit extract, rice starch and zinc oxide. The consistency is thick and you only need a small amount to cover your entire face. When you wake up, your skin will feel soft and smooth. This product also is good. It is well-known that during pregnancy, it is best to avoid product that has retinol in their formulation. Retinol is mostly used for their anti-aging purposes. This balm protects the skin from harmful pollutants that cause fine lines and wrinkles. In a way, it helps to slow down aging. I used this balm 2x a week and it helped with strengthening my skin barrier and nourishing my skin. I still use this balm to this day. Cannot have enough about it!
5. Ren Skincare Overnight Glow Dark Spot Sleeping Cream
Dark spots and hyperpigmentation are major issue for my skin. I needed a product that would be effective and safe for me to using during pregnancy. This is a powerful moisturizer that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots. This moisturizer is packed with natural ingredients that combats hyperpigmentation such as algae and Phytoglycogen. It effective brightening the skin. It is a great moisturizer nourishes the skin while reducing dark spots. It is perfect for solving hyperpigmentation issues.
In order to maintain the health of skin, it is recommended that a pregnant women should be drinking 2 liters of water a day along with using the right skincare for your skin. Hydration is key!
These are the five products I truly loved so much. To this day, I repurchase and keep using them. Thanks to these holy grail products, my skin remained healthy and glowing during pregnancy.
