by Alice Thomas Writer

Pregnancy entails pregnancy glow and visits to the baby scan clinic for prenatal scans. Did you know that your pregnancy glow can become dull due to several skin problems associated with pregnancy?

When you’re pregnant with a bun or buns, you face n number of skin issues, like acne, rash, stretch marks, and dry skin. Not every store-bought skincare products suit you during pregnancy. Your skin might become more sensitive or allergic to certain chemicals when you’re experiencing the most precious moment of your life. That’s when you should think of DIY recipes to preserve your natural pregnancy glow. Since face is the most important part of our body, here are some DIY face moisturizer recipes that work wonders during pregnancy.

Aloe face cream for dry and irritated skin
Dry skin needs intense moisturisation. Since summer is on the way in Aylesbury, your skin will become more prone to irritation. Aloe Vera is excellent when it comes to cooling and soothing the skin. Here’s the quick and easy recipe for you.
    • In a container, add 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel and 1 tablespoon of virgin or cold-pressed coconut oil.
    • Mix them well. Then extract oil from 2-3 vitamin E capsules.
    • You can add a few drops of your favourite essential oil (preferably, lavender, rosehip, or tea tree oil, in case you suffer from pimples).

Nourishing face cream for dull skin
It’s not only your body that needs nourishment, your skin needs some love and care too during pregnancy. Here’s a highly nourishing face moisturizer recipe for you to make.
    • In a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of coconut and olive oil. Then add ½ teaspoon of almond oil and 1 tablespoon shea butter.
    • Add 1-2 tablespoons of rose water and vitamin E oil (if you don’t have vitamin E oil, extract oil from the capsules instead).
    • Mix them well. Melt the mixture by using the double-boiling method.
    • Store it properly for daily use.

These two above-mentioned recipes will take time to work but the best thing is they are made with zero chemicals and preservatives. It’s always recommended to prepare a small batch and perform a patch test to be on the safer side.
