My skin has gone so dull and my hair feels rough, i barely recognise myself in the mirror these days. I know baby is the priority but i also want to feel a bit good about myself yaar. Any simple things that helped u look and feel nice during pregnancy?
I felt really insecure about my changing body in the beginning. But honestly once I started resting properly and hydrating, my skin looked better than ever. Wear what feels comfy, comfort literally makes u glow.
Yaar honestly that pregnancy glow is real, dont stress so much. Drink loads of water, sleep when u can, light moisturiser and ur set. U already look beautiful, hormones just make us doubt it.
Step one, embrace the elastic waist pants haha. Real talk, water plus sleep plus a comfy outfit does more than any fancy cream. U are literally building a human, give urself credit.
Keep it simple, gentle cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen in day. Avoid strong skincare actives like retinol type stuff, my app flagged those as best avoided in pregnancy. Check with doc before any new product.
My mother always said good sleep and good food is the real beauty secret during these months. A little coconut oil for skin and hair worked nicely for me. Be gentle with yourself dear, you are growing a baby.
