It is actually the case that most people get drier and thus more sensitive skin during pregnancy. This can mean that you react to products you would not normally react to. Therefore, it is important to choose the right products for your skin to feel good during pregnancy. To avoid irritation and new skin conditions, we recommend that you choose mild and gentle ingredients in the products you choose. Gentle, natural ingredients that help the skin create good skin health.
Tightening skin and stretch marks - moisturize regularly
In order for the baby to have room in the stomach, it grows and in step with it the skin stretches. Other skin areas such as the chest and thighs can also change, which is completely natural. As the skin is stretched, it can also sometimes be experienced as tense, itchy and stretch marks can occur. It is very common and completely natural, you are making room for a new life in your stomach which is absolutely fantastic.

To avoid in skin care during pregnancy
As previously mentioned, the skin becomes more sensitive during pregnancy and therefore you should be extra careful with: - The sun's rays! When it comes to extra protection from the sun, it is to prevent sun damage and pigmentation that can occur when the skin is exposed to the sun while pregnant. We recommend using one dailyhigh SPF (SPF 50)to reduce the risk of sun damage. Please choose shade if possible. -Vitamin A/Retinol . Pregnant women should not take in too much vitamin A and therefore it is recommended not to use retinol, which is also a so-called active form of vitamin A, during pregnancy. -Strong acidsin skin care products. Avoid further irritation and problems by eliminating stronger acids from your skin care routine when you are pregnant.
