Known enemies of smooth and beautiful skin during pregnancy
The hormonal upheaval that sweeps over pregnant women is not without consequences: on their mood, on their body...and on the skin! Estrogens and progesterone secreted in large quantities take their toll from the start of pregnancy and can be responsible for minor skin ailments .
On the face , the skin can become dehydrated. This dry skin can be accompanied by redness. Irritation, hypersensitivity and peeling may appear, whatever your original skin type.
By producing more melanin, pregnant women also become more sensitive to the sun's UVA-UVB rays. Consequence: pigmented spots may appear, this is the famous pregnancy mask , or melasma.
Future mothers are more prone to cellulite . Blood circulation and lymphatic drainage slow down, toxins are less well eliminated, and orange peel skin affects the thighs, buttocks and hips!
Let's not forget the famous stretch marks , these purplish red streaks similar to scars which can invade areas under tension: stomach, chest, lower back... Unsightly vestiges of pregnancy and persona non grata for most future mothers!
