Since I had thyroid issues, my skin was extremely dry and itchy throughout. I used simple olive oil and did regular checkups with my doctor to keep everything on track. Do ask your doctor if you have skin sensitivities.
I researched this a lot and my gynac suggested using pure virgin coconut oil or sweet almond oil without any artificial fragrance. She said heavy chemical oils or essential oils should be avoided as they can absorb into the skin and affect baby.
Honestly, just use simple coconut oil, it's cheap and safe. I bought expensive stretch mark oils and still got them, plus the strong smell of fancy oils just made me want to puke. Keep it simple!
Faltu ke expensive brands ke peeche mat bhaago. Normal olive oil ya coconut oil perfectly fine hai skin moisture ke liye. Mild massage karwana, heavy pressure strictly avoid karna pregnancy mein.
Home remedies work best, coconut oil ya mustard oil ko halka garm karke use karo ghar pe. But if you have severe itching on your palms or soles, don't just massage, immediately consult your doctor as it can be a liver issue.
While I had to be very careful with my diet due to gestational diabetes, for skin care I kept it natural. Organic cold-pressed coconut oil is the safest option with no added chemicals.
