7 Key Ingredients That Keep Pregnant Mothers' Skin Moisturised & Stretch Mark Free - November 2024

During pregnancy, women often receive compliments of how their skin looks radiant with that distinctive ‘pregnancy glow’. Little do some of us know of the unpleasant realities of pregnancy – dry skin, itchiness and worse, stretch marks! A discerning pregnant mother should be well-accustomed with the essentials of a basic skincare routine. For her wellbeing and the safety of her unborn child, some skincare ingredients are effective and safe to use, some are just simply not! To prevent or reduce dry skin, itchiness or stretch marks; please choose skincare that contains these ingredients for a better and safer outcome: Jojoba Oil Jojoba oil is undoubtedly one of the most prized ingredients in the skincare industry. Although referred to as an oil, it is actually a liquid plant wax that can be quickly absorbed into the skin. Jojoba Oil, akin to human sebum, deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin while keeping oil levels balanced. This helps restore the skin's natural moisture; keeping the skin looking soft and supple while adding a healthy glow. Safflower Oil Safflower Oil, a rich source of linoleic acid, is an ideal emollient ingredient. It is a good base oil that lubricates the skin and stimulates the regeneration of skin cells. This helps moisturise and soothe dry skin, reduce inflammation as well as clear up blemishes thereby reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Natural Vitamin E Natural Vitamin E has been clinically proven to work on scars with good results. Its antioxidant properties are essential in supporting the skin’s elasticity. This allows it to help repair and protect the natural collagen in the skin against harmful UV and free radicals thereby preventing stretch marks. Crowberry Extract Crowberry helps protect the skin against damage from the sun and the natural degradation of age that occurs when free radicals are present in the body. This helps improve skin health and regenerate skin cells which reduces the appearance of scars, quicken wound healing and add a healthier natural glow to the skin. Shea Butter Shea Butter is considered a skin superfood; rich in natural vitamins and nutrients necessary for collagen production. This helps nourish and moisturise the skin to prevent dryness whilst protecting the skin’s natural oils. Further, Shea Butter helps reduce skin inflammation and may also help avoid skin mutations. Argan Oil Argan Oil has high concentrates of oleic acid which improves the skin’s permeability and assist other ingredients better penetrate the skin. Like Safflower Oil, it is rich in linoleic acids. The combination of these two nutrients helps moisturise the skin and promote healthy skin cell growth; preventing and treating the appearance of stretch marks. Grapeseed Oil Grapeseed Oil, rich in omega-6 fatty acids and Vitamin E, is a wonderful emollient to reduce signs of ageing, dry skin and discolouration. Grapeseed Oil penetrates the skin quickly and helps ensure skin barrier functioning. This helps protect and repair damaged skin tissues which typically results in stretch marks.
