Skin care during pregnancy
Pregnant women are beautiful: from day to day, they appear younger and their faces shine, regardless of how good or bad they feel. Having thick hair and firm, rosy skin — if a woman is lucky! Unfortunately, things can also turn out quite differently, with hormones causing unpleasant skin changes such as pimples or pigment spots. This is why it is even more important to have an efficient and healthy skincare routine during this special time.
A pregnancy — as unique as every woman!
When women talk about their pregnancy, no experience is the same: Linda has energy for two, gains 20 kg and doesn't have a single wrinkle on her face. Sonja practically doesn't gain any weight, but has back pain, suffers from chronic nausea and still looks beautiful.
Tanja has acne and feels great otherwise. Bettina is round as a ball and constantly has itching and large pigment spots on her face. One could go on forever with examples, all of them different. It's hardly possible to make generic statements!
Natural anti-aging...
Pregnancy is a nine-month miracle, and the skin can react in different ways. During this time, blood flow is at full speed, which is why women's faces are rosy and plump.
The water in the skin tissue plumps it up from the inside, causing wrinkles to disappear from one day to the next. So, in a way, women get the most natural «anti-aging» in the world for free for nine months! Beautiful!
... Or a second puberty?
Unfortunately, pregnancy hormones also stimulate sebum flow for some women. What happens then is sometimes a bit like a revival of puberty: pimples, blackheads or even outbreaks of acne can be the result.
It is particularly important to cleanse and care for the skin well, along with the hopeful prospect of improvement. Fortunately, after giving birth or at the latest after breastfeeding, most of the unpleasant symptoms such as pain, weight and skin problems return to their original state.
Health is the top priority
Whether your skin benefits from the hormonal changes or not, for all pregnant women: a deep facial cleanse and care with highly concentrated active ingredients is essential.
Awareness of women during pregnancy usually focuses on health. Both the baby's and their own. This means that many of them become health experts and thoroughly rethink their lifestyle.
Facial care products that are completely free from alcohol, preservatives, fragrances and coloring agents are therefore very welcome: Filabé's facial care wipes do not contain any unnecessary substances and only provide the skin with what it actually needs at that moment.
For all Lindas, Sonjas, Tanjas and Bettinas
Filabé has the right solution for all mums-to-be and the skin changes they may experience:
- The active ingredients in Filabé Skin Clear Young (up to 22 years old) and Skin Clear Adult (from 22 years old) help with oily and blemished skin and regulate sebum flow.
- Filabé Uneven Skin Tone can help to get rid of those annoying pigment spots.
- Women can use Filabé Balanced Skin for itchy and sensitive skin.
- Filabé Aging Skin can be used later when the skin becomes drier again after breastfeeding and wrinkles return.
And the general rule for all pregnant women is: the less complicated the better!
And after the pregnancy?
When the long-awaited baby is finally here, there is usually no time to lose! With all the happy hormones, joys, challenges and often overwhelming demands, what woman wants to think about her facial care?
That's why it's great to have a quick and efficient care product that doesn't get on your nerves. On that note, dear ladies, we hope you are doing well during your pregnancy. We wish you and your families all the best for the future!
We are delighted when Filabé can help mothers-to-be and future mothers through the normal madness and make life a little easier for them!
