Pregnancy is a transformative period for every woman, bringing about a myriad of changes, not least of which occur in the skin. As the body undergoes hormonal shifts, many mothers-to-be notice differences in their complexion. While some might glow radiantly, others could face challenges like acne, pigmentation, or sensitivity. Tailoring your skincare routine during these unique nine months is crucial, and iLM Skincare is here to guide you with our vegan, organic, and natural solutions.
Understanding Pregnancy-Induced Skin Changes
During pregnancy, increased blood flow can give cheeks a rosy glow, while hormonal surges might lead to oilier or drier skin than usual. Some women develop melasma, a form of hyperpigmentation, due to these hormonal fluctuations.
Navigating Skincare Safely During Pregnancy
It's essential to remember that your skin might react differently to products during pregnancy. Keeping things gentle, vegan, and organic can mitigate potential reactions.
-
Cleanse Gently: Opt for a mild cleanser, like iLM's Gentle Cleansing Milk, which removes dirt without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
-
Stay Hydrated: Moisturize with a product that's free from harsh chemicals. iLM's Pure Hydration Serum is a blend of natural and organic ingredients, ensuring deep hydration without any harmful substances.
-
Sun Protection is Key: While you should always protect your skin from UV rays, it's even more vital during pregnancy to prevent dark spots. Choose our mineral-based tinted sunscreen with natural ingredients.
-

Ingredients to Avoid
While many ingredients are safe, some might be best avoided during pregnancy:
- Retinoids: Found in anti-aging products, high doses can be harmful during pregnancy.
