Keeping the Glow While Pregnant
Having that glowing skin is something every pregnant woman wishes for. Getting loads of compliments or a friend asking you how you do it makes us all blush. The pregnancy glow tends to show in the second trimester and is caused by an increase in blood volume to all organs and the growing fetus, but not many people are lucky to have a perfect skin glow while pregnant. So, this week, we are going to give you a few tips on how to maintain that beautiful dewy glow. Be that pregnant, Diva!
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables:
A diet full of fruits and vegetables will improve the appearance of your skin. Make sure you eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamin A, C and E and folic acid such as apples, avacados, bananas, papayas, spinach, carrots and strawberries.
Water: Water is an essential element to a pregnancy beauty routine to maintain good health and healthy skin. Drinking water regularly flushes out unhealthy toxins and regulates hydration. We all know how imporatant it is to stay hydrated. Get as much sleep as you can: Pregnant women need at 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. Plenty of rest will give you more energy during the day and you won’t need to worry yourself about having bags and dark circles that can dull that breath taking glow.
Exfoliate: Does your skin seem dull? When dead skin cells, make up or excess oil build up on your skin, you skin instantly looks dull. Exfoliation, is the best way to get that glow back to the surface by revealing the fresh, new skin underneath. If you choose a scrub, make sure you choose one that is mild on your skin. Gentle pressure is all you need to help the scrubbing granules in an exfoliant do their work.
Enhance that glow with a little makeup:
A bronzer should be your best friend. Apply a shimmery bronzer of your natural skin tone and then apply a nice rosy shade of blush. Also keep a translucent pressed powder compact on hand, and blot your skin frequently with a powder puff or tissue tipped in powder to absorb extra sweat and oil. It will keep you looking fresh and it’ll help keep breakouts under control.
