When your hormones are going wild, it may become necessary to change your makeup and skin care routines to adapt to your body’s changes. It is important to educate yourself on certain products and what they are made of in order to get yourself the best care possible during your pregnancy. Here are the do’s and don’ts of makeup and skincare that will help your skin look as beautiful as you feel.
In the initial stages of pregnancy, a dramatic increase of blood begins to flow to your baby to support its development. By the time you are ready to deliver, your heart has been pumping fifty percent more blood during pregnancy then when you weren’t pregnant. This increase in blood flow can cause what many consider to be the glow of an expectant mother. For others, it can be a bad case of Rosacea. It’s important during those hot flashes to stay indoors and turn up the air conditioning. Be sure to carry a constant supply of fresh, mineral water, which will help you stay cool. If your Rosacea breakouts continue, try to counteract the redness with a loose powder that has more yellow tones. This will help neutralize your color and keep you cool. Make a note to skip the foundation because this will only make your face feel hotter. Some products like liquid powder neutralizers cool the skin on and help your face look less flushed.
During pregnancy, your body is producing many hormones that can stimulate your skin to produce more melanin than usual. It is not uncommon to see dark patches of skin forming on your cheeks, or forehead in the second trimester. This can be attributed to a condition called Melasma, which can be further irritated by UV rays. To keep your skin healthy during pregnancy, always remember to wear sunscreen outdoors and to avoid overexposure. The condition usually goes away after a few weeks and can be covered up easily with concealer. This makeup product is a beauty must-have to hide those unwanted blemishes during pregnancy.
Depending on the individual, acne get either improve, or get worse. Acne breakouts can occur in unexpected areas like the chest and back, and can be a nuisance for some. Many women also notice their skin getting oilier during pregnancy. When treating your acne, it is important to read all of the listed ingredients in a product. Most creams and prescription strength medications for acne are not recommended if you are pregnant. Be sure to consult your doctor if trying a new medication. Sometimes all it takes is a non-allergenic face wash to help unclog pores and remove dirt.
When you are pregnant, it is important to look and feel your best. When combating raging hormones, zits, and hot flashes, it can be difficult to enjoy the pregnancy process. Try your best to avoid things that can be harmful to your skin, which will in return help you enjoy this exciting time.
