Learn Some Makeup Tips for Managing Pregnancy Skin Changes
Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative time for many women. However, it can also come with a slew of skin changes that can be frustrating and difficult to manage. From acne to hyperpigmentation to dryness, pregnancy can wreak havoc on your skin. In this blog post, we’ll be discussing some helpful makeup tips to manage pregnancy skin changes and help you feel confident and beautiful throughout your pregnancy journey.
Moisturize is The KEY!
One of the most common skin changes during pregnancy is dryness. This can lead to flakiness, itchiness, and even cracked skin. To combat this, it’s important to moisturize regularly. Look for a moisturizer that is safe for use during pregnancy and contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which helps to lock in moisture. A great option for you to try is the Restorative Sea Culture Hydrating Toner from 100% PURE.
When it comes to makeup, using the Luminous Primer from 100% PURE can help to create a smooth base for your foundation and prevent it from settling into fine lines and dry patches. Additionally, using a hydrating setting spray can help to keep your makeup looking fresh and dewy throughout the day.
Combat Acne with Non-Comedogenic Products
Acne is another common skin change during pregnancy. Due to hormonal changes, you may experience more frequent breakouts. To manage acne during pregnancy, it’s important to use non-comedogenic products, which means they won’t clog your pores. Look for foundations, powders, and concealers that are labeled as non-comedogenic to avoid aggravating your acne.
When it comes to covering up acne, use a green color corrector to neutralize redness before applying your foundation. This can help to create a more even and flawless base. It’s also significant to make sure you’re removing your makeup thoroughly at the end of the day to avoid clogging your pores and worsening acne.
Brighten Up Hyperpigmentation with Color Correctors
Hyperpigmentation, or dark spots on the skin, is another common skin change during pregnancy. To brighten up hyperpigmentation, use a peach or orange color corrector to neutralize the dark color before applying your foundation. This can help to create a more even skin tone.
When it comes to choosing a foundation, look for one that provides full coverage and contains light-reflecting particles, like the Fruit Pigmented® Healthy Foundation from 100% PURE. This can help to further brighten up your complexion and minimize the appearance of dark spots.
Protect Your Skin with SPF
During pregnancy, your skin can become more sensitive to the sun. This means you’re at a higher risk of developing sunburn and hyperpigmentation. To protect your skin, make sure to wear a daily sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Look for a mineral sunscreen that contains ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are safe for use during pregnancy.
When it comes to makeup, look for foundations and powders that contain SPF. While this shouldn’t be your only form of sun protection, it can help to add an extra layer of defense against harmful UV rays.
Embrace Your Glow with Illuminating Products
One of the perks of pregnancy is the natural glow that comes with it. To enhance your glow, use illuminating products like highlighter and shimmer powders. Apply the Luminating Creme or the Fruit Pigmented® Gemmed Luminizer to the high points of your face, like your cheekbones, brow bones, and nose, to create a radiant and youthful look.
When it comes to choosing an illuminating product, make sure to avoid anything that contains glitter or chunky particles. Look for a finely-milled shimmer that will create a subtle and natural-looking glow.
It’s important to remember that while makeup can be a helpful tool for managing skin changes during pregnancy, it’s also important to take care of your skin from the inside out. This includes staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and getting enough sleep. By taking care of yourself both inside and out, you can help to minimize the impact of pregnancy skin changes and enjoy a healthy and beautiful pregnancy journey.
