Even before I became pregnant, I prioritized clean skincare and beauty products because I understand how important they are for overall health in reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxins, and carcinogens. It may be surprising, but a large portion of what you apply to your skin is absorbed into the bloodstream. I’m not strictly all-or-nothing about an organic, non-toxic lifestyle, but I choose products that are effective and gentler for my body, and I apply the same approach to food.
Below I’ve gathered the skincare and beauty items I’ve been using and loving this month, including the belly oil and lotion I now use daily during pregnancy. I’ve also listed my favorite face serums and a clean foaming cleanser I recently switched to. With the season still feeling winter-y, I’ve been leaning on a few reliable tanning products as well. One self-tan lotion in deep has been elevating my color, and for my face I’ve been using bronzing face drops—about four to five drops daily for two or three days in a row—mixed with one to two drops of face serum. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward to avoid any uneven areas.
