Two things are certain, tomorrow marks the official start to summer and I’m definitely pregnant. What better way to start off my favorite time of year than to celebrate with my girls in DC on Great Day Washington. Kristen and I chatted up some mommy-to-be products that I’ve tested out to help you look a bit more rested and relaxed even if you’re trudging through on complete exhaustion. Check out the products we mentioned below and make sure to always check with your physician before starting anything while pregnant. Happy Summer Gorgeous!
A mom’s body changes in many ways beyond the bump. Breasts and skin pretty much stretch in ways that are nothing short of a miracle. Most if not all of us want our pre-baby bodies back without all the skin sag and girth. Mustela Belly + BUST $34.99
Fifty to seventy percent of pregnant women will get chloasma-typically just a few dark patches on the face. One dark blob on my cheek was enough for me to look for an option that was safe to use while pregnancy and/or nursing. Skinbetter Science Even Tone Correcting Serum $140.00
During pregnancy, many women may notice that their hair feels thicker and more lustrous. That’s because the body is flooded with hormones that cause a slowing down of the normal cycle hair growth. As a result, the scalp holds the hair in the growth cycle longer than usual, and the shedding process is slowed down. Rather than growing more hair, you’re actually losing less-for now. Bosley Professional Strength Ulta Mom Hair Kit $46.00 ($70 value) helps maintain that fabulous head of hair post-pregnancy.
“The Glow” was not happening on my skin but rather a serious case of hormonal acne. Limited with options and ingredients that are safe for a mommy-to-be, I looked for a clean, light-weight, hydrating formula that could soothe and heal. Good Science Beauty 001-Pu Purifying Face Cream $48.00
If you’re anything like me, you wear sunscreen daily. Replenix Sheer Physical Sunscreen SPF 50+ Cream $22.40 is absolutely one of my favorites. The silky formula is loaded with anti-oxidants and protects with broad spectrum SPF 50+. Oil-, Alcohol-, Fragrance-, Paraben-, Paba-Free. Mineral sunscreen at its finest with some anti-oxidant benefits!
When all else fails just go ahead and cover it up I say. The concealer has become my new BFF since I became preggers. Tarte Shape Tape $27.00 stays in place and comes in 30 different shades. No wonder why it’s the #1 selling concealer baby.
