It is natural that you will want to keep your skin looking great during pregnancy, it is a time for you to bloom and be beautiful. Here are my top five pregnancy moisturisers:
Neal's Yard Remedies Organic Mothers Balm- £17.50: This amazing pregnancy moisturiser is rich in fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity. Great skin elasticity can also mean less pregnancy stretch marks, which is a beauty plus. It is fragrance free, which during maternity is a great bonus as it is often the case that heavy smells will leave you feeling sick.
Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter- £11.90: Burt's Bees are infamous for their honey based products, and their Mama Bee Belly Butter does not fail to deliver when it comes to that soft honey scent. It has a thick texture which sinks in to your skin fast, leaving no traces of grease or oil. This pregnancy moisturiser is great for relieving an itchy belly as your baby grows.
Avent Future Mother Indulgent Body Cream- £4.99: Cheap and cheerful, Avent Future Mother Indulgent Body Cream is a great pregnancy moisturiser for those on a budget. It may be low on the cost side of things, but that does not mean it is low in quality. It is fragrance free and provides ultimate skin hydration.
Mama Mio Wonderful Balm- £18.50: Another great pregnancy moisturiser that can provide you with relief from those horrible itchy patches caused by your stretching skin. This a very versatile cream, it can be used on those tired cuticles and even chapped lips, it's almost like a pregnancy answer to Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Cream.
Angelique Mother and Baby Moisturising Cream-£18.00: This pregnancy moisturiser is oh-so loveable because once your little one has entered the world it can be used on her (or him) too. So use it on yourself for some indulgent pregnancy massage and then use it on your baby for a relaxing bed time baby massage.
The key difference between a pregnancy and normal moisturiser is, the ones designed for maternity are free of nasty chemicals such as salycilic acid that could potentially harm your unborn baby. So opt for one so that you can stay beautiful and stay safe at the same time!
