Pregnancy and Skincare: Everything you need to know

Pregnancy and Skincare: Everything you need to know

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey of transformation, and your skin is no exception! While some experience a radiant pregnancy glow, others might encounter pigmentation, sensitivity, acne, or dryness. Urban Vogue is here to help you navigate these changes with the power of DMK's paramedical skincare.

Melasma: The "Mask of Pregnancy"

Melasma, often called the "pregnancy mask," causes patches of darkened skin on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip. Increased estrogen triggers melanin production, the pigment that gives skin its color. Don't worry, most melasma fades after birth. Here's how DMK can help:

  • Soleil Defence SPF50+: This daily sunscreen is your first line of defense, protecting your skin from the sun, a major trigger for melasma.
  • Melanotech Drops & Cream: This powerful duo brightens the skin and inhibits melanin production. Licorice root, kojic acid, and mulberry work together to minimize hyperpigmentation.
  • Herb & Mineral Mist: This multivitamin spray enhances product penetration, maximizing the benefits of your DMK routine.

Pregnancy Sensitivity

Pregnancy's increased blood flow can make your skin more reactive. To soothe and calm redness, we recommend:

  • Beta Gel: This beta-glucan serum strengthens the skin's immunity, helping it adapt to hormonal changes.

Hormonal Acne Breakouts

Hormonal fluctuations can lead to acne breakouts. If you have a pre-existing acne routine, avoid vitamin A products during pregnancy. Here are some pregnancy-safe DMK options:

  • Deep Pore Cleanser: Gently removes impurities without irritation.
  • Beta Gel: Soothes redness and strengthens the skin's barrier.
  • Acu-Moist: Provides lightweight hydration without clogging pores.

Dry Skin and Stretch Marks

Hormonal changes can cause dryness and loss of elasticity, increasing the risk of stretch marks. Here's how DMK helps:

  • EFA Ultra: This supplement boosts hydration for plump, nourished skin, hair, and nails. (Consult your doctor before starting any supplements during pregnancy.)
  • Hydration Heroes: Combine Beta Gel, Herb & Mineral Mist, Seba-E oil, and Hydroloc for maximum moisture retention and elasticity.
  • Herbal Pigment Oil: This hydrating oil brightens, smooths, and strengthens the skin while combating dryness.

Remember: All DMK skincare programs are customised by our skin experts who are trained DMK Skin Revision Technicians to address your unique needs. Let us guide you towards a healthy, radiant pregnancy glow!
