What to do about skin blemishes during pregnancy? – Natural tips for clear skin during pregnancy
Many women experience skin changes during pregnancy – and these are not always positive. Instead of the famous "pregnancy glow," pimples, blemishes, and oily skin can occur.
The reason: The increased production of androgens during pregnancy stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. This can clog pores and lead to blemishes, especially in the first trimester when hormonal fluctuations are strongest. But dry, sensitive areas can also appear.
What helps against skin blemishes during pregnancy?
- Gentle cleansing: Use mild, natural cleansing products that do not dry out or irritate the skin. Aggressive scrubs or strongly degreasing products can make the problem worse.
- Light care: Choose oils and care products that do not clog pores. The lavera Mama Care pregnancy oil with organic almond oil and shea oil is light, absorbs well, and nourishes without weighing down the skin.
- Drink plenty of water: Hydration from the inside is just as important as from the outside. Drinking enough water or unsweetened tea helps flush out toxins and clear the skin from within.
Important:
Avoid products with retinol and high concentrations of salicylic acid during pregnancy – instead, opt for a gentler pregnancy care that is safe for you and your baby.
