- Why your skin changes during pregnancy
- The rules for safe and harmless makeup
- The ideal routine for a radiant complexion
Pregnancy alters the skin's balance and requires better-tolerated textures. Your skin becomes more reactive to conventional products. In some cases, you may notice the appearance of hormonal acne, redness, or the mask of pregnancy. Depending on the period, your skin evolves and can go from intense dryness to excess sebum. Finally, you may develop a sudden intolerance to certain odors or textures.
It should be noted that vigilance is essential because certain components cross the skin barrier and can therefore reach your baby. Special attention is therefore necessary during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Choose formulas without controversial ingredients, especially for sensitive areas such as the eyes and mouth.
For a no-compromise routine, turn to make-up that is organic, vegan, and fragrance-free, ideally dermatologically tested. Rely on trusted labels such as Cosmos Organic, Ecocert, and Cruelty-free to guarantee the absence of endocrine disruptors.
Some of your make-up products contain ingredients that should be avoided during your pregnancy.
Avoid chemical UV filters; they are suspected endocrine disruptors that can influence fetal development. Opt for mineral filters instead.
Whether it's a loose powder or a compact powder, avoid unpurified talc. If not rigorously purified, talc can contain traces of asbestos. It is better to opt for certified mineral powders or pharmaceutical-grade talc.
Avoid aggressive preservatives such as parabens and phenoxyethanol. Used to prevent the development of bacteria in these liquid formulas, they are strongly suspected of disrupting the endocrine system.
Avoid salicylic acid (BHA). Often used to treat acne, it carries a risk of absorption into the bloodstream at high concentrations. It is an ingredient to monitor closely in cases of hormonal acne breakouts.
Avoid essential oils. These are very powerful active ingredients, some of which are neurotoxic. Their presence is particularly noticeable on the lips, as some of the product ends up being ingested.
Avoid retinoids (Vitamin A / Retinol). Although effective against wrinkles, vitamin A derivatives pose a risk of birth defects for the fetus.
Avoid synthetic fragrances. They are often used to make powders pleasant, but they greatly increase the risk of allergies and irritation on skin that has become very reactive.
Avoid formaldehyde and its derivatives. These are proven carcinogenic substances and highly irritating agents. Opt for nail polishes based on natural ingredients.
Step 1: Prepare your skin
First and foremost, the foundation of beautiful makeup is perfectly prepared skin. Opt for an ultra-gentle cleansing followed by a fragrance-free moisturizer. This helps soothe sensitivities and creates an essential protective barrier before makeup application.
Step 2: Unify your complexion
For a fresh and rested complexion despite sometimes short nights, use a primer; it smooths the skin's texture and ensures better hold. Then, apply concealer, it's an essential ally during pregnancy. Natural and fragrance-free, it acts as a true treatment to hydrate fine lines and conceal dark circles. Finally, a BB or CC cream will unify your complexion without suffocating it, thanks to its light texture.
Step 3: Healthy Glow Effect
During pregnancy, comfort and radiance are key. Stick formats will be your best allies; they are quick, effective, and pleasant to use. Apply the blush stick, to get a healthy glow, then illuminate your high points with the highlighter stick.
✨ Little tip: if you have dry skin, avoid overly matte powder textures that can emphasize dry areas.
Step 4: Eye Makeup
Keep your eyes sparkling with gentle products. Cream eyeshadow offers easy, quick, and practical makeup, ideal for rushed mornings.
