Over nine months the body changes fast: swelling, heightened skin sensitivity and the much-feared stretch marks. Skin needs a steady supply of nourishment, especially in the last trimester. Natural cosmetics are the best fit — and it is always worth discussing suitable products with your doctor.
For the legs there are two main risks: swelling and broken capillaries. A cooling body gel with natural menthol brings immediate relief to legs, ankles and feet, strengthens capillaries and keeps their walls toned and elastic.
Against stretch marks it pays to start early — from the first weeks of pregnancy — and to continue throughout and after the birth. Our fast-absorbing anti-stretch-mark cream-gel combines pure organic argan oil with elasticising, regenerating vitamins and ingredients that stimulate collagen synthesis.
The face in pregnancy often looks luminous and glowing, but skin can become more sensitive than ever, and dark patches may appear: this is chloasma, or the mask of pregnancy, which in most cases fades after the birth. Choose gentle, natural, hypoallergenic products, starting with make-up remover and facial cleanser.
