Keep skin looking beautiful during pregnancy


Pregnant women often experience feelings of low self-esteem as their bellies grow big and skin issues begin to arise, such as stretch marks, acne, oiliness or melasma.


However, these ladies should know that their round stomachs are beautiful and that the vast majority of skin problems that occur during gestation are temporary and treatable.


Melasma is a skin discoloration that is the result of hormone fluctuations during pregnancy, and can be more pronounced in African American women. It almost always disappears after giving birth and is easily treated with skin care products for black women. Such creams are meant to even out skin tone and help dark spots on black skin disappear.


To prevent oiliness or acne, choose a skin care product that is oil-free and contains natural ingredients to help your complexion stay healthy looking and bright.


Stretch marks may be avoided by keeping the belly and breasts moisturized. Additionally, plenty of water and a nutritious diet have been shown to improve skin elasticity, thereby avoiding excessive marks from stretching.


Pregnant women should always consult with their doctor before using any skin care products that contain active ingredients.
