Glowing beauty products for pregnancy

Some pregnant women will experience the celebrated ‘glow’, due to the increased volume of blood being pumped around their body; others will experience increased oiliness in their skin. Hair can also change during pregnancy; some will find it thicker because hair falls out much less than usual, while others find their hair drier and more difficult to manage. And then there are those infamous stretch marks. While some say they are hereditary, it’s almost impossible to predict if you will get them or not. Still, it’s worth slathering on some of the lovely creams and oils and treating your skin to extra moisture and support. While you’re at it, pregnancy is the perfect time to try organic and natural skin care, caring for you and your baby all that much more.
