Body Changes During Pregnancy and How to Manage Them Naturally

Pregnancy is a unique period in a woman's life, marked by physical and emotional transformations. Your body undergoes significant changes, mainly due to hormonal fluctuations. These transformations, although natural, can lead to discomfort, such as dry skin, stretch marks or even the pregnancy mask. But don't panic, there are simple and natural solutions to accompany these changes gently. Follow our advice to take care of yourself optimally during this magical period.

Hormonal changes and their impact on the skin

• During pregnancy, the body produces hormones in high quantities, including progesterone and estrogen. These hormones, essential for the proper progress of pregnancy, have a direct impact on the skin. You may notice greater skin sensitivity, with feelings of tightness and itching.
• Your complexion may also become duller due to natural water restriction, so it is essential to boost skin hydration from the first months of pregnancy.

The importance of hydration during pregnancy

• Hydration starts from the inside out. Drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water every day to maintain good hydration of your skin and tissues.
• At the same time, a diet rich in vitamins and nutrients is essential to support your body's increased needs. Choose foods that are organic, free of pesticides and chemicals, to protect your health and that of your baby.
• For care, turn to products rich in moisturizing and nourishing agents, and suitable for pregnancy. Maman Bébé Pioupiou oil , formulated with natural ingredients, is perfect for maintaining supple and hydrated skin throughout pregnancy. The same goes for the Face Cream , an ally of choice for the daily routine of the mother-to-be. Apply morning and evening for optimal comfort.

Prevent and reduce stretch marks naturally

• Stretch marks are often a major concern for expectant mothers. They appear mainly on the stomach, hips, chest and thighs, areas that are particularly stretched during pregnancy. These small streaks, due to the decrease in collagen in the skin, are difficult to completely avoid, but it is possible to reduce their appearance.
• In addition to moisturizing, massage sensitive areas daily with nourishing oils. Maman Bébé Oil contains natural active ingredients such as sesame and rosehip oils, which strengthen the skin's elasticity while reducing tightness.

Pregnancy mask: how to prevent it?

• The "pregnancy mask", melasma or chloasma, is a hyperpigmentation phenomenon that results in the appearance of brown spots on the face, especially when exposed to the sun. These spots are caused by an overproduction of melanin, stimulated by pregnancy hormones.
• To protect your skin, it is recommended to avoid direct exposure to the sun and always wear sun protection. Opt for organic sunscreens with natural mineral filters, less aggressive for the sensitive skin of expectant mothers. Choose Pioupiou SPF50 sunscreen , ideal for delicate skin, to avoid any hyperpigmentation.

Body changes during pregnancy are inevitable, but they can be accompanied in a gentle and natural way. With good hydration, a balanced diet and the use of organic and adapted care, you can keep your skin supple, protected and healthy throughout your pregnancy.
