Taking care of yourself during pregnancy: lifestyle tips and suitable products

Pregnancy is always a good opportunity to review one's lifestyle and adopt new habits, whether it's healthy eating, physical activity or cosmetics (creams, scrubs, makeup...).

Your healthcare professionals have certainly given you several pieces of advice regarding the lifestyle of a pregnant woman. Among them, stopping all alcohol consumption and quitting smoking, of course, but also adopting a varied diet for your meals: eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and drinking plenty of water to limit weight gain, carefully avoiding the consumption of foods prohibited during pregnancy (raw meats, unpasteurized cheeses, etc.) to avoid contracting certain diseases, such as listeriosis or salmonellosis, which pose risks to the healthy progression of the pregnancy – and can, in the worst cases, trigger miscarriages.

The same precautions apply to personal hygiene: shower gel, shampoo, soap, deodorant… most so-called “conventional” products are not suitable for pregnant women. The reason is the ingredients, which are known to be harmful—or suspected of being harmful—to the developing fetus. For example, essential oils, alcohol, endocrine disruptors, and questionable or carcinogenic preservatives can cross the placental barrier and be detrimental to the baby's health. These precautions also apply if you are breastfeeding, as these substances can pass into breast milk.

The solution? From the very beginning of your pregnancy, choose skincare products (face, body, hygiene, etc.) specifically formulated for expectant mothers, like those from Daylily! We work with a toxicologist to guarantee the complete safety of our products for breastfeeding mothers, pregnant women, and their babies. Our formulas, which prioritize natural and/or organic ingredients, are therefore free of all substances that are controversial for expectant or new mothers. You can use them with complete confidence and take care of yourself without any risks.

One of our must-have hygiene products for your bathroom? Deo Caresse, which will keep you dry all day long! During pregnancy, perspiration can increase due to hormonal changes. To stay fresh and avoid unpleasant odors, Deo Caresse, made with triethyl citrate, polysaccharides, organic arrowroot, mallow flower, and organic plant oils, will take care of your underarms… and your health! It contains no aluminum salts, no alum stone, no sulfates, and no allergens, making it suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

To nourish your skin, soften it, and prevent stretch marks, consider our anti-stretch mark treatments: Sensorial Oil and Melting Lotion. They prevent the appearance of red stretch marks from the first trimester and improve the appearance of existing ones. If you also want to address cellulite and skin firmness, try the Creamy Balm, a clever 3-in-1 treatment with a pleasant fragrance that works on all levels! Finally, don't forget to protect your face with the Radiant Cream, both a moisturizer and sunscreen that, with its SPF 50+, prevents the appearance of melasma (pregnancy mask). Everything you need to preserve the beauty of your skin until delivery, and even after :-)
