The moment you discover that you are pregnant and a little munchkin is on its way, you start thinking a lot.
Is it Okay to exercise? Should you have fast food? What about your skin care routine?
During pregnancy, you make so many adjustments in your life. Your skincare routine is one of those adjustments you make during and after pregnancy. Your skin changes in a big way, thanks to the crazy hormones. And your normal routine of skin care likely won’t work when you’re pregnant.
During my first pregnancy, I was not aware of the pregnancy-friendly skincare. I was more concerned about my diet and skincare was likely not high on the priority list. Actually, first time I was really confused about which ingredient are safe and which ones aren’t. But during my second pregnancy, I was pretty much aware of the ingredients. I learned from experience that which ingredient is good and which ones are not safe.
However, there are some skin care ingredients that should be avoided, and you should make skin care routine adjustments for pregnancy.
So, if you have recently delivered a baby like me or pregnant or thinking about having a baby – this review of Gaia products is just for you!
