During my first pregnancy I did not have pregnancy glow that so many women have, BUT during my second pregnancy I took self care seriously knowing how hard my body was working to grow my baby.
Soooo my personal self care top 7 tips that help my fellow Queens while pregnant :
Stay hydrate: Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can help keep your skin looking plump and healthy. HYDRATE HYDRATE HYDRATE.
Get enough rest: Don’t get sucked into binge watching your fav Netflix show into the early hours of the morning. Getting adequate rest is crucial during pregnancy, as lack of sleep can cause dark circles and puffiness under your eyes.
Eat a healthy diet: Eating a well-balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can help improve the overall health of your skin. Don’t be like me and gobble up a dozen Krispy Kremes in 10 minute flat haha
Exercise regularly: Moderate exercise during pregnancy can help improve blood flow and promote healthy skin. Walking or swimming were my go to.
Use gentle skincare products: Avoid harsh chemicals and opt for gentle skincare products to help maintain the natural balance of your skin.
Manage stress: Pregnancy can be a stressful time, and stress can take a toll on your skin. Practice stress-management techniques like meditation or yoga to help reduce stress levels.
Embrace your natural beauty: Remember that the pregnancy glow is a natural and beautiful phenomenon, and don’t be afraid to embrace it.
