Skincare during pregnancy
When you are pregnant, a lot changes in your life. For good reason, for many women this is one of the most special and dramatic periods of their lives. While everyone looks forward expectantly to the birth, everything is being prepared for this special and intense moment.
However, pregnancy will not only change your life, but all kinds of changes occur all over your body. Also for your skin. Hormonal changes and physical stress are very often the cause of skin problems during pregnancy. So good skincare is especially important during this period. Craith Lab's products can help with the most common skin problems that occur during pregnancy.
Skin Problems
One of the most well-known effects of pregnancy are stretch marks, or in technical jargon, stretch marks. Stretch marks are scars or stripes on the skin that occur when the skin stretches rapidly. This occurs with major weight loss, as well as during pregnancy. They appear mainly on the breasts, abdomen, thighs and buttocks. Prevention is difficult, but hydration does help. The Silky Smooth Body Lotion helps keep your skin soft. The Innervit Collagen Boost supplement also helps keep skin supple by adding hydrolyzed collagen and contains folic acid. The hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy can increase sebum production, which may cause acne or worsen existing acne.
Some women experience skin rashes such as hives, contact dermatitis or melasma. Melasma, also called pregnancy mask, is a skin condition in which dark spots appear on the face, mainly on the forehead, cheeks and upper lip. Because sun exposure can aggravate this, a good sunscreen such as the Daily SunPro with SPF 50 is extremely important.
Use mild and clean products. They can help prevent or reduce skin problems during pregnancy.
What can you do?
It is especially important to keep the skin well hydrated and use mild but effective skincare products. Your skin responds favorably to adequate hydration, a healthy lifestyle, proper skincare products and an appropriate diet. Craith Lab cleansers, toners, day and night creams, eye creams, body lotion and lip cream are all safe. In fact, all of Craith Lab's products are free of sulfates, pegs, mineral oils, microplastics and silicones. They can actually help prevent or reduce skin problems during pregnancy. Although the MFR Retinol is very gentle, we recommend avoiding products containing vitamin A during pregnancy and also while breastfeeding. The experts at Craith Lab will be happy to advise you on this so that you radiantly enjoy your pregnancy.
