Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful moments in a woman's life, but it can also be uncertain and sometimes discouraging. However, look on the positive side and cheer up. It is also a good time for taking a break!
During pregnancy your body will be constantly changing; internally and externally. You will experience a lot of mood swings. Feeling dizzy or having nauseas are very common side effects.
As pregnancy develops, some woman experience changes to their hair and skin.
Therefore, it's key using the right cosmeceuticals to neutralise any type of side effect such as nausea or dizziness.
One way to avoid exasperating nausea is using fragance-free cosmetics. When it comes to facial cleansing, always start with a Korean oil remover; light texture, soft and safe. Using a muslin cloth for washing your face, will help you to gently remove and exfoliate skin dead cells. For the second facial cleansing you need to find a "soap without soap"
You can also use micellar water, which is also gentle enough to not to interfere with your body. For the second part of the double facial cleansing, you need a “soap-free soap” or a water-based cleanser that is super gentle and respectful to the skin.

During pregnancy, it's a must moisturising your skin as much as you can. Avoid stretching marks using body oils. No oil will get rid of your stretch marks, but applying oils to your skin can supplement the natural lipid barrier, which helps the skin retain moisture. If you prefer texture moisturizer; try using a Korean body essence.
What beauty treatments should I avoid during pregnancy?
There are some skincare products you should never use if you are expecting a baby, such as those cometics that endanger the blood stream to the fetus.
'Powerful' exfoliating acids such as Retinol or BHAs should also be avoided. Same happens with essential oils and perfumes, that can lead to allergies.
During pregnancy, the body goes through multitude changes. While many of those changes are internal, some are more prevalent physically, including skin conditions that may arise. There are many common skin conditions that can occur during pregnancy and most of them disappear postpartum. Most common skin conditions can be broken down into three categories: hormone-related, hyperpigmentation and stretching marks. Therefore, it's very important wearing SPF on a daily basis.
If you have severe acne, consult a dermatologist about using a gentle exfoliator packed with AHAs. Finally, even though it's not a must, use little or no makeup at all.
