What are the specific needs of the skin during pregnancy?
It is often said that pregnant women glow and have prettier skin than before. This is correct in most cases: from the 4th month of pregnancy, you may notice that your face has more radiance, that you look better (hormones are partly responsible, but the Increased blood volume also has something to do with it! It brings pink to the cheeks!). However, the skin will also undergo its share of transformations and will require a very specific routine during your pregnancy.
- Your skin, under the action of hormones, can become drier, even dehydrated, or on the contrary more oily, with enlarged pores and a little acne caused by excess sebum.
- The mask of pregnancy may appear, particularly from the second trimester.
- The dreaded stretch marks can appear on your stomach, but also on your chest, your buttocks, the top of your thighs, etc.
