Now that I am 35 weeks, I REALLY can tell for myself what works and what doesn’t when it comes to skincare during pregnancy.  Of course, everyone is different, bodies are different and hormones are different but  I want to tell you what worked for me and why I love them so much.  Either way, I will continue to use and wear all these products after pregnancy because nothing has worked better.

 

I would give this oil 10/10 stars for improving my skin.  Not only does it go on smoothly but it smells so damn good.  What’s interesting about this oil is that it was one of the first oil to be submitted to clinical trials and proved that it improves the appearance of scars and stretch marks.   I put this on my belly, buttocks, and breasts after a shower in the morning and night.  It has lasted me almost my whole pregnancy but that was me not putting as much as I wanted on.  I just want the bottle to be bigger that’s all!  What I love most about Bio‑Oil is that they focus exclusively on research, with the selling and distribution of its products licensed to leading skincare companies around the world.  BUY HERE

This SPF is my beauty savior.  No joke.  Pre-pregnancy, during and most definitely post-pregnancy.  This is the only tinted moisturized SPF that I can put on my face and not break out.  It’s lovely solo or under any make-up you would want to put on your face.  Elta MD is also such a great reputable brand I could not recommend them enough.   It’s a cosmetically elegant, all mineral, broad-spectrum sunscreen that is formulated to feel smooth and even improve sun-damaged skin.  BUY HERE

I know you are thinking, ok regular water bottle I can just use mine.  Sure, yes you can but it’s so simple and that’s why I love it so much.  It’s lightweight but incredibly sturdy.  It’s BPA free and it’s glass too but if you drop it, it will not break because of the white covering.  The silicone sleeve makes it easy to handle and it moderates temperature which is perfect for juices, water, and smoothies of your choice.  They come in an array of colors too.  Hydration is key for all of us especially us pregnant women but honestly, you won’t be disappointed.  Bonus…..it matches all my outfits and fits in all my day purses.  BUY HERE

Raise your hand if you have way too many lip balms, chapstick and lip glosses and don’t really care too much for them?  That was me until I purchased this lip balm from SummerFridays for myself.  I’m a huge fan of their serum and was curious about their lip balm.  And let me tell you, it’s changed my lips during pregnancy.  During pregnancy it’s normal to experience dryness all over your body and face including your lips so having this handy made my lips incredibly hydrating and silky.  Vegan and clean too! BUY HERE

I love I love I love this product so much.  This belly butter is so luxurious and high quality you’ll never stop using this.  I know I won’t.  It’s literally butter for your skin and smells delicious.  This Body Butter also works as an excellent daily moisturizer to treat common skin conditions like dry skin and patches.  It’s also non greasy and won’t clog your pores. Hypoallergenic, Vegan, Ideal for all skin types, even sensitive skin. I put it all over…..belly, legs, buttocks, feet, arms, you name it.  It’s only $34.00  BUY HERE

Much love, CP x
