3 beauty tips for pregnant women to discover

Pregnancy is a state of grace for some women, or a real ordeal for others. Whatever her state of mind, the expectant mother must take care of herself to maintain a beautiful complexion and keep a harmonious body.

When it comes to beauty advice for pregnant women, it is essential to follow three recommendations: moisturize your body to avoid stretch marks, apply maximum sun protection to prevent pregnancy mask, and take care of your hair.

Tip #1: Prevent stretch marks
Half of women experience stretch marks towards the end of pregnancy. What causes them? Small streaks can appear on the belly, hips, thighs, and breasts. Only daily hydration can prevent the skin's collagen from breaking. Stretch marks are lesions that can be reduced with cosmetics, but cannot disappear completely.

This is why we have included a rehydrating body lotion in the maternity kit, designed to have a repairing effect on normal skin. Dry and sensitive skin needs to be nourished more deeply, with a lotion rich in fatty substances.

Tip #2: Avoid pregnancy mask with sun protection
Pregnancy mask can appear in many women. Pigmentation spots are found on the forehead, cheekbones, and nose. The only means of prevention is to apply total sunblock in summer. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat is highly recommended.

During pregnancy, sun exposure should be avoided and optimal protection should be prioritized. SPF 50 is recommended. If the expectant mother wears makeup, she should also apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 under her foundation or tinted cream.

Tip #3: Take care of your hair
During pregnancy, women may have either radiant or dull, lifeless hair, depending on hormonal changes. Peaks in estrogen can cause overproduction of sebum, making hair constantly oily.

Expectant mothers can pamper themselves with hair care treatments. For women with dry hair, our beauty products with shea butter or coconut milk are perfect for protecting hair from split ends. Oily hair, on the other hand, needs a shampoo with a purifying effect. Citrus and mint hair care products cleanse the scalp without irritating it or stimulating sebum production.
