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!
