Skin Care
-
During
early pregnancy fluctuating hormones can make skin temperamental. You
may be prone to spots or oily skin one month, followed by dry skin the
next. Skin may also become more sensitive and you may find it reacting
to products you have used before, or to new ones.
-
When using a new product patch test first, and if a reaction- such as redness, itching or pimples occurs- stop using it.
-
Keep
your skin care regime simple and take a fresh look at the skin care
products you are using. Swap chemical laden creams, facial toners and
shower gels for products that contain mild natural ingredients.
-
Choose
soothing hydrosols such as Neroli, Camomile and Rose to help freshen,
cool and cleanse skin. Look for moisturisers and facial oils that
contain natural emollients such as Shea butter, Jojoba, Avocado and Rose
hip.
-
Skin
care is important for your expanding abdomen too. Nourishing plant oils
or creams containing essential oils can help keep skin healthy, supple
and elastic.When used
regularly, they can keep skin toned and moisturised relieving the
tightness, stretching and itching associated with pregnancy weight gain.
Keep other areas, such as breasts, thighs, buttocks and upper arms,
well moisturised too.
