Beauty Ritual During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is one of the most important and beautiful moments in a woman’s life. Expecting mothers often have a radiant complexion, and it’s possible that their skin reflects their happiness, but it also becomes more sensitive to all the changes in the body.
Cosmetics for pregnant women also benefit from pharmaceutical advancements, extending the health and appearance of the skin with products specially designed for expectant mothers.
Our beauty ritual must adapt to this new stage. The skin becomes more permeable, and anything we apply to it during these months can affect our baby. From the first few months, you may notice that your skin becomes much more sensitive, reddens easily, and shows greater susceptibility to allergies. It is very important to be cautious with certain chemicals and substances in some creams that can be irritating or enter the bloodstream during pregnancy. This is the time to choose natural cosmetics, which contain ingredients that respect and adapt to our skin, protecting and caring for it safely.
More attention must be paid to specific areas of the body. The skin on the abdomen and breasts now requires more targeted care. The dermis undergoes a real test of elasticity. Creams rich in natural oils, like olivolein or rosehip oil enriched with lycopene, help maintain skin hydration and firmness, improving the elasticity of the tissues. During lactation, it’s also important to continue using a firming cream. Olivolea Firming and Anti-Stretch Mark Cream, made with olive oil and centella asiatica, is a formula that poses no contraindications for the baby’s health. Applying it twice a day will improve breast tone, and thanks to its regenerative properties, it helps prevent cracks and small wounds.
Draining massages activate the lymphatic system, improve circulation, and help combat fluid retention, which most pregnant women experience, leading to discomfort and swollen legs. Due to hormonal changes, women also face the dreaded cellulite. Caffeine creams are strictly prohibited, as they can be harmful to the developing fetus. Olivolea Firming Cream is highly recommended in these cases. It contains essential fatty acids and vitamin E to nourish the skin, and stimulates collagen production to restore the skin's firmness. Don’t hesitate—lather it on!
