First off, congratulations to all expectant mums from our team! You’ll be welcoming a bundle of joy very soon and life won’t be quite as you know it after birth. Hey, it will be even better so what better way to begin your parenthood journey than to start by taking care of YOU!
Here’s a rundown of our beginner’s top tips to helping you achieve that gorgeous pregnancy glow and boosting those feel-good hormones. Pregnant models will benefit from the following:
If you’re radiating with that beautiful pregnancy glow then you’re one of the lucky ones! But if you’re experiencing spotty outbreaks because of the crazy hormonal rollercoaster ride your body is going through, you can start by gently cleansing and moisturising your skin every day. This will help to lift dirt and makeup, clear pores allowing your skin to breathe, and give moisture back to your body. Treat your skin delicately; it needs extra TLC!
During pregnancy, you may find that your skin has become superly sensitive especially when in the sun. It’s best to keep sun exposure minimal, wear a hat to give shade from the sun, and apply some pregnancy-friendly sunscreen to beat those harmful sun rays. If you’re heading out on a modelling assignment, keep sunscreen handy. It’s always best to use an SPF cream whatever the weather is like to consistently get that extra protection your skin demands.
Not only should you gently treat your skin, but you should also use kinder ingredients because your skin deserves it at such a life-changing time. Several brands on the market are leading the way with a more natural approach to skincare. Their products are now offering paraben-free, cruelty-free, 100% vegan and much more. Eliminating harmful ingredients and supplementing your skincare regime with more earthy ingredients will help ease your skin’s sensitivity too.
Keep on moving!
Pregnancy is different for every woman and no two pregnancies are the same either but if you’re able to move about and are feeling well in yourself, then that’s great! Doing some gentle exercise will help encourage nutrients to your skin and make you feel happier whilst promoting better sleep.
Maintain daily water intake
If there’s one beauty tip everyone knows all too well, it’s to drink lots of water every day. Being an expectant mum makes this rule even more important! Your body is working hard to send your baby supplies of food and oxygen so drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. If you’re feeling queasy, keep up with little sips of water throughout the day to avoid the risk of dehydration.
Maternity modelling – now we’re talking!
