Natural Beauty Tips During Pregnancy

Most expectant mothers are afraid of using cosmetic products during pregnancy. They start asking a lot of questions and questioning what can be used and what can't!

The most frequently asked question is:

How to stay beautiful during pregnancy?

What product should I use for a pregnant woman’s face?

Which products should you not use when you are pregnant?

Which cream for pregnant women?

But let me tell you that there is nothing better than natural ingredients during pregnancy, natural care is the best.

I don't want to bore you, I know pregnant women don't have patience *wink* but let me give you some tips to take care of your skin and hair during pregnancy with natural ingredients that pose no danger or side effects.

How to treat skin problems during pregnancy?

Here are some examples of pregnancy-related skin problems and how to remedy them:

1. Itchy skin

Due to the rush of blood to the skin, an itching sensation occurs in the abdomen. Also, you should refrain from using chemicals or using any base products without consulting your doctor.

But natural products should be your best friend right now because they are safe and cause no harm.

It's like this:

• Aloe vera gel
• Almond oil
• Coconut oil

There is also a quick and temporary solution which is calamine or placing cucumber slices on the itchy areas.

2. Stretch marks

During pregnancy, it is normal for the abdomen to stretch as the size of the fetus increases, leading to the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen and, in some women, on the level of the breast area.

Coconut oil has always been the key to hydration, as well as removing stretch marks to some extent if applied regularly.

3. Dry skin

For most women, pregnancy causes severe dryness and cracking of the lips and heels, especially during the winter season. In this case, you just need to go to your kitchen and bring some milk cream, coconut oil and wheat germ oil.

These natural ingredients do not cause any harm to women during pregnancy, but on the contrary, they are rich in essential vitamins and fatty acids that are beneficial for the skin.

4. Pigmentation and dark circles

During pregnancy, a lot of hormonal changes occur in the body, such as some pigmentation appears on the cheeks, forehead, neck and even on the armpits. In this case, lemon juice is the solution, just put it with cucumber juice and put them on the spots several times a day.

Let me tell you about another solution, which is my favorite, turmeric. This ingredient is nothing short of magical, as it is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.

5. Changes in hair and nails

Hair often falls out after childbirth, and most women are very upset by this loss.

Conversely, hair can grow on your face, back and legs. Additionally, your nails may become brittle and split at the ends.

These five problems are the most common among pregnant women, but there is another problem, acne. Let me talk about this problem in detail, because it is most common among women.

Did you have acne during your pregnancy?

Pregnancy brings many problems and hormonal changes that affect your skin. So you have to treat it in a natural way.

1. Natural Tonic

Make your own natural tonic that is safe during your pregnancy, namely one part raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with three parts distilled water. But don't use undiluted apple cider vinegar because it is very acidic and can be counterproductive.

2. Honey

I consider honey the solution to everything, because it always satisfies me with its wonderful results. Honey has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It is also soothing to the skin. All you need to do is rinse your face with lukewarm water, then apply honey directly to the affected area for 30 minutes, before rinsing it again.

3. Do not wash too much

Excessive washing can strip your skin of its natural moisture, which can lead to increased oil production and make you more susceptible to breakouts.

I will now give you some tips for taking care of your beauty during pregnancy.
