While being pregnant is a joyous occasion in a woman’s life, and while dietary changes and opting for less strenuous activities are expected, for many mums-to-be, having to nix some of their trusty skincare products may come as a surprise.
An unborn child is like a sponge soaking up everything the mum-to-be applies to her body and consumes, which is why it’s important to avoid products containing retinoids, hydroquinone, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid pre- and sometimes post-baby. This, understandably, can come as bad news, and finding new products that work can be tricky. But Tuesday Style Dryer (TSD) has culled a few options that promise to help you bask in your pregnancy glow.
uQueen Organics — an organic skincare line developed by Jamaican model-cum-beauty entrepreneur Danielle “Danz” Edmond — has the ultimate pregnancy-safe pamper products. The Safflower Glow Oil and Almond Shea Glow Butter, in particular, recently got the seal of approval from new mum and New York City-based celebrity make-up artist Annya Weekes.
