Being pregnant and taking care of your body is possible! Today, many women are afraid of damaging their body envelope by a pregnancy in which they can gain more or less weight. But usually, this fear of seeing one's physique change is overtaken by the magic of creation, by the pregnancy itself and by the happiness of welcoming a wonderful baby. In the end, stretch marks are just the birthmark of a child...

Nevertheless, even if the fears are overcome, physiologically there are many things happening in the woman's body and physical transformations appear due to normal weight gain and hormonal disturbances. Indeed, women will see the elasticity of their skin suffer and in some cases the arrival of cellulite, a drier skin or even a more important skin disorder. Of course, not all women are the same when faced with a pregnancy and while some will only gain 9 kilos, others will gain 30 (a question of diet but also of metabolism), some will have oilier skin and others drier. The question for the vast majority of women is: "How to keep a beautiful body after pregnancy? "Indeed, let's not hide, today many women suffer after pregnancy, and for months, not to find the body of yesteryear, to see this body damaged by the wonderful birth.

In stores and pharmacies, there are many specific products for mothers to prevent stretch marks, to treat cellulite, for a global massage of the body to soothe or firm up, or special products for the face to reduce or erase the mask of the pregnant woman. If there is a time in life when a woman must be careful with her consumption tools, it is during pregnancy. Indeed, if we turn to non-organic and non-labeled brands, we run the risk of encountering products with a very dubious composition for the fetus. We have to realize that the cosmetics of the mass market are not made of healthy ingredients. In fact, it is not uncommon to find endocrine disruptors in these types of cosmetics for mom.

What is the impact on the fetus?

We already know that everything that is put on the skin goes directly into the bloodstream without any filtration other than the skin. The impact on the fetus will then be very important.

Let's avoid poisoning our children before they are born and let's go towards natural cosmetics that are just as effective. You don't have to be a chemist to incorporate a healthy routine into your bathroom because it's actually quite simple.

We start by sorting out the bathroom and by getting rid of all the doubtful products. We prefer vegetable oils adapted to the type of skin, aloe vera gel or hydrolats which are without risk for the health of the foetus. These 3 ingredients will be enough to take care of you.

• Prevent stretch marks: massage the belly with organic sweet almond oil, twice a day throughout pregnancy. Why not ask dad to accompany this cocooning moment?
• To soften the dry skin of the face: Apply a vegetable oil of jojoba and a hydrosol of cistus, Helichrysum or cornflower
• Take care of your hair: Choose a shampoo with a label and do masks with coconut oil several times a week.

Finally, during pregnancy, avoid chemical hair dyes that disrupt your thyroid gland. Many hair salons now offer vegetable-based hair colors that are healthy for both you and your baby.
