7 Beauty and Well-Being Tips for a Healthy, Radiant Pregnancy

May 22, 2025

You’re pregnant and gradually discovering the joys of pregnancy: your body is changing, you’re sometimes experiencing minor or major aches and pains, and you’re going from medical appointments to prenatal check-ups, blood tests, and ultrasounds. In short, expecting a baby isn’t a smooth ride: you want to care for yourself and focus on your well-being. We understand! Here are a few tips, tricks, and beauty reflexes to adopt during pregnancy.

Pregnancy beauty tip: moisturize and massage to prevent stretch marks

At this stage of life, the body tends to store more fat and water: stretch marks and cellulite can appear, and unfortunately, not everyone is in the same boat. Is it possible to avoid stretch marks? With the right beauty routine, you can certainly put a stop to this phenomenon:

  • Moisturize and massage your stomach, thighs, and breasts daily with a suitable pregnancy oil or body cream; pay attention to its composition!
  • You should also exfoliate your skin once a week to encourage the penetration of your moisturizing and nourishing skin care products.
  • One of the most effective pregnancy beauty and well-being tips is to keep your skin deeply hydrated.

Treating pregnancy acne

Ever since your positive pregnancy test, your hormones have been going wild… and they’ve been letting you know it! Pimples, microcysts, blackheads, dilated pores, and other imperfections have taken up residence on your face.

  • It’s time to gently remove make-up and cleanse your skin every evening. Avoid stripping the skin, which can encourage sebum production and the onset of acne.
  • Use appropriate skin care products.
  • Avoid touching your face and pimples, even if it’s (really) very tempting.

How do you care for your hair during pregnancy?

Is hair more beautiful when you’re pregnant? If hormonal variations are anything to go by, chances are your hair is denser and thicker, and your scalp less oily. But this is not an absolute truth! Some pregnant women experience duller, drier hair… and even hair loss during pregnancy.

But did you know? It is possible to counteract this with dietary supplements adapted to expectant and nursing mothers. Their effects?

Protecting against pregnancy mask with sun protection

Pregnancy mask is a hyperpigmentation of the skin that appears on pregnant women: brown spots appear on the face. To avoid it, we recommend that you wear sunscreen every day.

Many brands offer suitable sunscreens, which you can superimpose over your makeup if you wear it. How convenient!

Dyeing your hair during pregnancy: a good idea or a bad one?

When it comes to pregnancy, beauty, and well-being tips, many moms-to-be wonder if coloring their hair is safe. Hair color is not recommended during pregnancy because of the chemicals it contains. Vegetable-based hair color can be an alternative, as long as you are well-informed about its composition: make sure it does not contain essential oils.

As far as possible, avoid touching the roots of the hair, opting instead for balayage or highlights. Ask your hairdresser for advice.

Relieving heavy legs when expecting a baby

How to avoid swollen, painful legs? To relieve heavy legs, we recommend you simply.

  • Elevate them when you go to bed.
  • decongest them with cold,
  • Massage regularly to promote blood circulation and drainage.
  • Wear socks or compression stockings if recommended by your doctor.
Diet, a health and beauty gesture!

We can’t stress this enough: drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day – it’s good for you! You should also eat a diet adapted to pregnant women, not too fatty or too sweet. Follow your midwife’s or gynecologist’s nutritional advice to eat well and stay in great shape.
