During pregnancy, facial skin is particularly impacted by the hormonal upheavals (increased production of estrogen and progesterone) that take place in your body. You may observe changes in your skin type (oilier or drier), the appearance of spots (the famous pregnancy mask) or simply more sensitive skin, less plump and less radiant than usual. This is why it is particularly important to take care of it on a daily basis to avoid all these little inconveniences, and to maintain a radiant complexion until childbirth! And it will be child's play by following our 10 tips to protect the skin on your face during pregnancy :-)
Eat healthy
Diet , as always, is a key factor in the health of your skin! Focus on foods rich in antioxidants , and in particular in carotenoids (found in large quantities in red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetables) and those which provide Omega 3 and vitamin E (oils hazelnut, rapeseed, avocado, etc.). They have the ability to better prepare your skin for the sun's rays and preserve its hydration , so why deprive yourself of them?
Drink enough
Hydration , as you know, is the basis of a healthy-looking complexion ! Because pregnancy can cause greater water loss than normal, remember to hydrate your skin well...from the inside ! By drinking at least 1.5L of water per day , you ensure sufficient water intake for baby, and you put all the chances on your side to have beautiful skin! To vary the pleasures, think of herbal teas, detox water, and broths which also work wonders for the radiance of the complexion.

Focus everything on facial hydration
Moisturizing from the inside is a first step...but nourishing your skin with very moisturizing creams is more than recommended to combat the skin dryness that pregnancy can cause. To say no to fine dehydration lines and tightness , apply a nourishing treatment morning and evening, such as our Crème Radieuse , suitable for all skin types. It contains 3 natural, quality active ingredients (vegetable glycerin, OcéaDéfense (active ingredient from a micro-algae) and Fucocert) to soften the epidermis, protect it and hydrate it in one step! You can also exfoliate your face once or twice a week, thanks to the soft side of the Gant Sublimateur. It eliminates dead skin and makes the treatments you apply more effective, giving you a radiant complexion!

Wear light makeup
Two good reasons for this: formulas that are too heavy or too occlusive can dry out your skin or cause imperfections , and conventional makeup can contain ingredients that are harmful to babies (endocrine disruptors, allergens, carcinogens, etc.).
Opt for “special pregnant women” care
On the one hand, because they perfectly meet the needs of your skin, which are not necessarily the same as normal, and on the other hand, because they have been formulated to respect the health of the future. mom and baby ! At Daylily, you will not find essential oils, nor any harmful or controversial ingredients, so you can pamper yourself with complete peace of mind !
Avoid exposure to the sun/a
Did you know that as a pregnant woman, you risk seeing melasma (better known as pregnancy mask) appear on your pretty face? Your body produces more melanin, which makes your skin more sensitive to the sun's rays, and some mothers-to-be see their cheeks, forehead or neckline dotted with unsightly brown spots – and what's more, they are not always easy to completely eliminate. ! Avoid exposing yourself during the hottest hours (between 12 and 4 p.m.), and seek shade whenever possible!
Wear a hat and sunglasses
The first thing to do to protect your skin if you go outside! Get into the habit of wearing a wide-brimmed hat and glasses to keep your face protected from UVA and UVB rays, which are responsible for skin aging , but also melasma !
Have the sunscreen reflex…
…in all circumstances ! No, you are not less likely to have a pregnancy mask in the city, or in winter, and no, you don't need to laze around all afternoon on your deckchair to see it appear! The simplest thing is to apply maximum protection (SPF50+) as soon as you wake up. We agree with you: the white and sticky effect from early in the morning, there is better... This is why we created Crème Radieuse , a facial treatment with 2-in-1 action which offers you hydration and sun protection in one step! Don't forget the décolleté , neck and shoulders which can also become stained under the action of UVA and UVB rays.
Reapply your SPF50+ protection every 2-3 hours
Of course, for enhanced protection , remember to reapply your sunscreen every two or three hours max, or even less if you have sweated , or if you have bathed . Furthermore, it is advisable to wait 20-30 minutes between application and exposure for optimal effectiveness.
And continue after giving birth ;-)
And yes, if you choose to breastfeed your baby, the hormones continue to run at full speed, and you can see melasma appear even after pregnancy – something many new mothers are unaware of. The same precautions should therefore be taken during and after pregnancy to properly protect your skin!
Continue to integrate all these actions into your daily routine , and you will go through the periods of pregnancy and breastfeeding with a smile, and a glowing complexion that will delight future mothers!
