Pregnancy skin care tips: Let not hormones hamper

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

A woman encounters numerous

hormonal changes in her body

during pregnancy. These

transitions often result into a

fair and glowing charm on the

face of some women, while for

few it brings woes like

dullness, pimples,

pigmentation etc,.

But one needs not to panic

under such situations as these

problems vanish with due

course of time and can be still

made less prominent with few

home remedies. Renowned

Aesthetician & Cosmetologist

and Founder-Director of Alps

Beauty Clinics, Ms Bharti

Taneja shares skin-care tips for

different skin problems, along

with do’s and don’ts for the

expecting women.

Pigmentation & blemishes:

Rubbing a slice of raw papaya

all over your face helps

removing pigmentation up to a

great extent on regular usage.

Papaya contains a skin

cleansing enzyme called

papain that has skin-

smoothening properties that

eventually helps overcome

blemishes.

Acne: For waving off you

pimple woes, use the following

face-pack. Make powder using

some dried neem leaves and

add half spoon of calamine

powder, sandalwood powder

along with rose water to turn it

into a paste. Apply it daily all

over the face to diminish as

well as prevent the occurrence

of zits.

Stretch-marks: Stretch-marks

are also a common after-

pregnancy issue that is

encountered by women

especially over their bellies.

You can use a molten

chocolate paste – apply it all

the while during pregnancy to

prevent these marks from

occurring. One can also apply

vitamin E oil or coconut oil to

serve your purpose. Make sure

to be regular to encounter

faster effects.

DOS’ and DON’TS:

Eat well: Body needs its due

nourishment during the

pregnancy period, which

should be fulfilled by

consuming a wholesome yet

balanced diet. Include dairy

products, legumes, pulses,

sprouted beans, green-

coloured veggies, salad to

suffice for your and your

baby’s dietary requirements.

Also, if your gynecologist has

advised few extra nutritional

supplement doses for you, do

not miss it and take it as per

the prescription.

Don’t avoid monthly salon

sessions: While some women

ignore their beauty aspects

totally and go for “hibernation”

during their pregnancy months

so much so that they even

ignore their overgrown, bushy

eyebrows and miss their

threading sessions. This

should not be the case as one

should treat this phase as

normal one and continue their

grooming appointments in a

professional salon to continue

being the apple of his eye.

Add on your charm with

regular manicures, pedicures,

threading, waxing, facials

procedures at any expert

salon. For this choose a salon

that offers special care,

pampering and schemes for

expecting ladies. ALPS Beauty

Clinics is one such salon in

Delhi that offers specialized

services for expecting women.

Go for a little makeup: As the

women who are expecting

automatically get blessed with

a baby-like skin, they do not

need a whole lot of makeup on

their faces. A little bit of

playing with colours is still

recommended while enhancing

their best features to bring

out the best of their beauty.

So, a tint of kohl and a sheen-

filled gloss is all you require

to shine like a diva during

your days.

Be happy: Last but not the

least, avoid depression.

Motherhood is an incredible

feeling and to enjoy the

emotion to its utmost extent

you need to stay happy by

heart and take pleasure in

every moment as your delight

will make you appear healthy

and hale always!
