Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: What Products to Use?

1️⃣ Firstly, hormonal changes affect your skin. From the beginning of pregnancy, hormonal variations alter the skin's balance. You may then notice several phenomena such as:

• Increased sensitivity; your skin becomes more reactive, sometimes causing redness or discomfort.
• The appearance of hormonal acne; stimulation of the sebaceous glands can lead to the appearance of blemishes.
• The risk of melasma; due to hormones and sun exposure, brown spots may appear on the face.
• Dryness and itching; the body requires more hydration, which can make the skin dry and uncomfortable.
• The appearance of stretch marks; rapid tissue distension, particularly on the stomach, hips, or chest, weakens the skin's elasticity.

2️⃣ Secondly, your baby absorbs what you apply.

It is essential to remember that the skin is not a completely impermeable barrier. Certain active ingredients present in conventional cosmetic products can cross the epidermis and enter the bloodstream or breast milk. Since the fetus and newborn are particularly sensitive, it is recommended to avoid the use of risky substances, even for external use, to ensure optimal safety throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding.

✨By choosing certified organic products, you limit exposure to controversial substances and favor healthier formulas, thus ensuring enhanced protection for you and your child.
