The skin is the reflection of our health and it is important to take care of ourselves both internally regarding our diet, and externally regarding our facial and body routines.
When women are pregnant, it is essential to increase the care of our skin, since for several months it suffers alterations due to pregnancy and postpartum and we must avoid possible consequences at all costs. The most typical alterations are:
- Hyperpigmentation in certain areas of the skin (darkening of the skin in the breast areola or linea alba).
- Spots on the cheekbones or upper lip (chloasma gravidarum)
- Stretch marks on the hips, belly or breasts that are accentuated by weight gain and even poor hydration.
- Acne due to an excessive fatty diet (you cannot abuse cravings,...)
