With pregnancy comes beauty, the beauty of new life, new starts and glowing skin. However, while you may be enjoying that pregnancy glow, you may also experience a few other changes, such as heightened skin sensitivity or pigmentation.

Beauty Flash has selected some best buys for mums-to-be, helping you to feel at your best throughout pregnancy with products you know are safe for both mum and baby. 

Pregnancy Pampering: Beauty Buys for Mums-to-be 

Balance Me Super Moisturising Body Oil

This rich and hydrating body oil, specially created for the founder of Balance Me during her first pregnancy, targets and reduces exceptionally dry limbs, stretch marks and scar tissue.

It works to increase the skin’s elasticity during pregnancy which helps to prevent and reduce stretch marks and is composed of a revitalising blend of neroli, starflower and rosehip oils.

For best results, this nut-free, antioxidant-rich oil should be applied after bathing in order to lock in moisture. 

Elemental Herbology Harmonising Cleanse Facial Cleansing Oil

This facial cleansing oil is designed to naturally remove impurities and traces of makeup, leaving the skin clear, clean and supple.

For those mums to be suffering from congested and spotty skin, this oil cleanser is a relaxing way to balance and clean your skin.

Simply massage into skin and remove with a face cloth, boost circulation, improving skin tone and calming the mind.

Decleor Prolagene Energising Gel

This gel provides a complete body treatment to help revitalise and tone the skin; a real hero product for pregnant women!

Designed for both face and body, this multi-tasking moisturiser will rescue damaged skin and smooth skin imperfections when used regularly. Using active ingredients to rebuild collagen the gel accelerates the skin’s renewal process and leaves a protective film, while also revitalising the whole support structure of the skin. 

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque

This masque is packed full of vitamins and botanical extracts – one sure way to truly relax and treat your skin during pregnancy.

Skin sensitivity can occur due to hormonal changes, however, using a gentle face mask, such as this, once a week calms and rehydrates the skin. This masque can also help to repair and restore both the hydrolipid barrier and the epidermis, leaving skin soothed and smoothed.

Elemental Herbology Cell Plumping Moisturiser

Mothers-to-be with more mature skin might find this plumping and soothing cream the ideal moisturiser for daily use. 

Packed with hydrating royal jelly and pearl extract, the antioxidant coenzyme q10 and oils full of omega 3, 6 and 9, every ingredient in this product is designed to boost the skin’s moisture.
