To have the impression of not having slept for 5 months but of not looking like it !? Yes thanks !
As many mothers and pregnant women probably already know, sleeping is only for the lucky ones. I don't know about you, but sleeping became a privilege when I got pregnant, both times. Maybe these nerves, excitement or just that my body adapts to all the changes. Nevertheless, I looked rested (.. outside). The reason for this phenomenon is my skin care routine. I have the perfect products, safe during pregnancy, that have helped me look like a well-rested, relaxed, and glowing mother of a year and a half.
Working in the medical aesthetic industry, I always used to be pampered with chemical peels, microphones and laser treatments, but when I got pregnant, I had to stop everything.
It was not easy to change our habits, but luckily I was able to get vitamin C and other products. We always hear about vitamin C and its benefits for the skin, but you don't realize how amazing it is until you incorporate it into your skin care routine. Being in the industry, I know that vitamin C is an essential element for skin rejuvenation. It helps everything, free radical damage due to sun exposure, hyperpigmentation, gives your skin a youthful glow (not like sweats more than a pinkish glow), helps control acne (thanks hormones!) and other environmental damage such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Before my pregnancy, I prepared my skin with a series of fractional laser treatments (mainly to reduce my melisma) and regularly scheduled salicylic peels, which helped me to control the radical change that occurred during my first pregnancy. Now that I am pregnant again, I am very happy to have been able to prepare my skin beforehand. These treatments are no longer safe and I only want to use soothing products, oil and fragrance free, containing the highest quality ingredients. As well as products that really help maintain healthy skin throughout my pregnancy.
Here are my skin care secrets during pregnancy:
Bioactive Cleanser - an excellent cleanser which also helps to ensure that my skin is properly cleaned and also removes the residue that I have accumulated during the day. It's a great product for the back and chest if my hormones decide to bring out the pimples. This product is available at Dermamode.
Strong Exfoliant - I used to be able to exfoliate regularly or every 4 weeks by getting salicylic peels. Now that I am pregnant this exfoliant is my best option. The exfoliant is great but also quick and easy to use. I apply it once a day and if I need to and skip one day every other day. See this product at Dermamode.
Vitamin C Serum 10 - It contains 100% pure L-ascorbic acid (pharmaceutical grade vitamin C), the best quality vitamin C available and the only form of vitamin C absorbed by the body. Yes, it is 100% oil free. I use it twice a day and two drops are enough to cover the entire surface of the face. I like to use it in the morning to show a shiny appearance but also to get additional protection for my melasma since I combine it with my FSP (?). Ask a health representative at Dermamode she will advise you on its application.
Derma Rich Moisturizer I have very dry skin, so it's perfect for me, but I use a lighter cream if I feel like my skin doesn't need a thicker cream. Always available at Dermamode.
Oxigenetix Foundation or Sheer Tint - This foundation is great for coverage but also good for your skin's health. It has spf protection, it is breathable and will cover while moisturizing as well. I love it for everyday use!
SPF always, every day! N ' Remember that this is especially important during pregnancy because our skin is prone to hyperpigmentation and more sensitive to UV radiation due to the increase in hormones during pregnancy.
