Taking care of your body during pregnancy is not always easy: fatigue, tension, heavy legs and stretch marks are the daily lot of many pregnant women...
To be in great shape, keep beautiful skin, feel good in your new body, here are five actions to adopt now to get through the trimesters with great serenity and vitality !
1. Practice gentle physical activity
If you can, and with the authorization of your gynecologist or doctor of course, practice gentle, non-impact physical activity . Walking, pre-natal yoga or even swimming, which relaxes your body with the movements of the water, are perfect for this. The benefits of a gentle sport for the mother-to-be are multiple: you stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, thus limiting the feeling of heavy legs and the accumulations of fat which give rise to cellulite . You gently maintain your physical fitness and muscles: your weight gain is controlled , your skin tone is better , and stretch marks are less likely to appear . As a bonus, you clear your mind and chase away stress and negative emotions!
2. Eat correctly
Taking care of your body starts with taking care of your diet ! To maintain tone and fight against pregnancy fatigue, to avoid deficiencies and to provide baby with all the nutrients and vitamins he needs for his growth, to have pretty skin, to keep cravings at bay deviation and limit weight gain, a balanced diet is essential. Also remember to drink enough to support your new eating habits. You certainly know the adage “When pregnant, you have to eat twice as much and not twice as much”, it's up to you to apply it to every meal from the first trimester!
3. Pamper yourself with targeted cosmetic treatments
When you are expecting a child, it is better to review your beauty routine with targeted cosmetics, designed for future mothers, because skin problems are not the same when hormones are running at full speed. During pregnancy, your body, which produces more melanin, makes you prone to pregnancy mask . Exposed to the sun without optimal protection, brown spots can appear on the face, shoulders and neckline. Apply sun protection with a maximum index (like Crème Radieuse SPF50+ ) to avoid them.
Also avoid stretch marks by applying an anti-stretch mark mask, oil, cream or balm morning and evening to boost the production of elastin and collagen, which decreases during pregnancy. This will help your skin to better resist the tensions that attack it! Good news : we have everything you need for that . And for an even more complete routine, prepare your skin with Le Gant Sublimateur and Les Bulles Lavantes for better effectiveness of care.
4. Treat yourself to a little massage
Pregnant, you are also entitled to moments of relaxation and cocooning , and the pre-natal massage is perfect for this! In an institute or at home, alone or in pairs (you can always get the future dad involved ;-)), the virtues of massage are multiple: it boosts blood circulation, relieves tension and stress, reduces the risk of appearance of stretch marks by softening the skin... Made with a vegetable oil, it nourishes, protects and repairs the skin at the same time!
The ideal routine is within reach with our Lait Fondant in the morning, our Huile Sensorielle and its sweet scent in the evening. Want to succumb? These treatments are available in the Coffret Rituel Anti-vergetures !
Le Déo Caresse , a natural and effective deodorant with nourishing, soothing and softening properties. The little extra: our treatments are also compatible with breastfeeding and will follow you after maternity .
All that remains is for us to wish you a wonderful pregnancy marked by beauty and serenity !
