Is natural skincare better during pregnancy?

Yes. Natural skincare avoids harsh chemicals like parabens, sulphates and synthetic fragrances that may irritate sensitive skin during pregnancy. Choosing gentle, plant-based products helps protect your skin barrier while keeping you and your baby safe.

Which skincare is best for preventing stretch marks?

Hydrating oils rich in Vitamin E, sweet almond oil, or jojoba oil are ideal for preventing and reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Using a dedicated pregnancy stretch mark oil daily can improve skin elasticity and comfort as your bump grows.

Can I use regular shower gel while pregnant?

It’s best to switch to a gentle, pregnancy-safe shower gel free from sulphates and parabens. Regular shower gels can sometimes strip natural oils and irritate sensitive skin, while a pregnancy-safe formula keeps skin clean, calm, and hydrated.

When should I start using pregnancy skincare products?

You can begin using pregnancy-safe skincare as soon as you start trying to conceive. Starting early helps prepare and strengthen your skin, while consistent use throughout pregnancy supports hydration, elasticity and long-term skin health.
