Pregnancy has always been a beautiful miracle. But now it’s considered sexy, too. When Vanity Fair put Demi Moore’s apparently nude, very pregnant body on the cover of their magazine in 1991, it made a lasting statement that said a woman could be both pregnant and gorgeous.
If you’re not ready to show off quite that much, don’t worry. Here are ten beauty tips that will help make you look and feel good while you’re pregnant.
Facial skin
Acne treatments, antibiotic treatments and skin creams that contain derivatives of vitamin A should not be used during pregnancy. To cleanse your skin affectively, again consider a soft facial brush with a chemical free facial cleanser. Ideally you can make your own cleanser – oatmeal mixed with natural yoghurt (1:1) can be very affective for most skin types.
You could also try refreshing cucumber and pineapple pulp or moisturising crushed avocado flesh. Just apply and rinse as you would your usual cleanser. Avoid using soaps on your face as they may contain emolients that can block pores.
Have enough rest and sleep. Although you need to have a regular exercise during pregnancy, it is also important to have enough rest and sleep. This will help you curb your morning sickness too, as fatigue can worsen your nausea during pregnancy. Relaxation techniques can also help you a lot in your pregnancy as well as in getting rid of pregnancy depression.
