How to Adjust Your Skin Care Routine For Pregnancy
When you fall pregnant there are many lifestyle changes that need to be made in order to ensure the safety of your little one.
No more sushi dinners, glasses of red or staying up till way past your bedtime, but what about your skin care routine?
This is something many women don’t think too much about, but what you may not realize is that conventional products are brimming in chemicals that can put yourself and your baby at risk.
The best advice we can offer is to go all natural and organic with your products and to follow this routine for skin that stays healthy, clear and radiant!
Keep it simple
When it comes to healthy skin, simple is best and this becomes even more important during pregnancy when your hormones can take quite the toll on your skin. Avoid fancy ingredients and stick to tried and tested soothing ingredients like aloe, coconut oil and gentle antioxidants to soothe irritation, prevent flare-ups and keep your skin perfectly balanced and hydrated. Also, be sure to check the ingredients on your everyday personal care items and switch to natural alternatives like natural hand soaps, body washes, toothpastes, and natural deodorants.
We recommend a simple cleansing, toning and moisturizing regime twice a day for best results.
Slather on the SPF
This tip is key year round, whether you are pregnant or not, however when you are pregnant your skin may be more sensitive to the sun so making sure you are covered in a generous layer of sun protection is highly recommended!
Look for organic, natural sunscreen brands that are safe for you and your bub, as well as good for the environment. Look for mineral-based formulas rather than chemical sunscreens, which may disrupt your hormones and are bad for the coral reefs.
Make sure you use an SPF of at least 30 or higher and don’t forget commonly missed areas like your ears, neck and hands.

These simple tips can easily be incorporated into your current routine and they really do make a world of difference!
