Skincare During Pregnancy
Pregnancy changes more than your body: it can also change how your skin feels. A simple, gentle skincare routine can help you feel comfortable during this special time, without making your daily care unnecessarily complicated.
ADAPTING YOUR ROUTINE
When your skin and body begin to change
During pregnancy, your skin may suddenly feel drier, more sensitive or simply different from usual.
At the same time, your tummy and breasts change, your legs may feel more tired, and even your preferences for fragrances or textures may shift.
This does not mean you need to replace your entire skincare routine. Often, choosing products more thoughtfully and adapting your care to how your skin feels is enough.
COMMON CHANGES
Areas that may need a little more attention
Increased sensitivity
Fragrances, textures or products you previously enjoyed may suddenly feel different.
Tummy & breasts
As your body changes and the skin stretches, these areas may feel drier or tighter.
Legs & feet
Especially after a long day, a gentle, unhurried care routine can feel soothing.
BODY CARE
Keep your skincare gentle and uncomplicated
The essentials remain the same during pregnancy: gentle cleansing, moisture and suitable nourishing lipids.
Mild and comfortable
Choose pleasantly warm rather than very hot showers, and use a mild body cleanser. If your skin is dry, a simpler cleansing routine may feel more comfortable.
Keep skin feeling supple
Apply a lotion, cream or body oil after showering. Choose the texture according to how dry your skin actually feels.
Care with a gentle touch
The skin here may also feel tighter or drier. Simple, well-tolerated skincare is usually all that is needed.
Combine care with a moment of rest
Applying body cream, putting your feet up and taking a short break can become a comforting ritual after a long day.
A SIMPLE ROUTINE
Three principles are often enough
Cleanse gently
Avoid unnecessarily harsh cleansers and pay attention to how your skin feels afterwards.
Moisturise according to your needs
If your skin becomes drier, a richer product may help it feel more comfortable. If it feels balanced, a lighter texture may be sufficient.
Less is often more
You do not need a new product for every change. A straightforward routine also makes it easier to notice how your skin responds.
AFTER THE BIRTH
When everyday life changes again
After your baby arrives, a perfect skincare routine is rarely the priority. A few quick, uncomplicated steps may be just right.
Take particular care when using skincare products on or near your breasts while breastfeeding. Product residues should not come into contact with your baby’s mouth. Always follow the product-specific instructions for use.
Babies have different skincare needs from adults. Only use products explicitly stated to be suitable for infants and for the intended area of use.
SUN PROTECTION
Sun protection remains an important part of skincare
During pregnancy, protecting your skin from intense UV exposure is still important. Shade, suitable clothing and appropriate sunscreen work well together.
Babies need special protection
Babies should be kept out of direct sunlight. Shade, suitable clothing and a sun hat are the first priorities. Ask a paediatrician or midwife which sun protection products, if any, are appropriate for your baby’s age and circumstances.

Unsure about a skincare product?
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is worth taking extra care when choosing skincare. I am happy to help you understand the Déesse product range, while medical questions should always be discussed with your doctor or midwife.
