    Skin changes during pregnancy

    Here are some common skin changes you may observe during pregnancy:

    1. Stretch marks

    With an unstable gain of body weight and stretching of the baby bump, stretch marks are a common skin change that pregnant women go through. They are normal and not at all a matter of concern. In fact, stretch marks can be efficiently dealt with pregnancy stretch marks cream. Regular application of an effective stretch marks cream can help in lightening their appearance and reduce them with time. Stretch marks creams consist of essential skin-lightening compounds which reduce the appearance of stretch marks. They also enhance the collagen in the skin, which improves skin elasticity and reduces stretch marks.

    Look for products enriched with coconut oil, which provides moisturization, saffron, which reduces skin blemishes and pigmentation, shea butter, which reduces skin scarring, and many more herbal ingredients to help in healing and nourishing skin. The Mylo Care Stretch Marks Cream is enriched with saffron, shea butter, kokum, coconut oil, mango butter and gotu kola extract that helps to improve the elasticity of the skin, promote skin lightening, heal and repair skin and help to visibly reduce stretch marks. Moreover, it is free from parabens, silicones, sulphates, phthalates and mineral oil, making it completely safe to use during pregnancy.

    2. Spider veins

    Pregnancy causes a lot of hormonal changes in the body that can affect the appearance and condition of your body. The circulation of blood is one of the changes. With the increase in blood circulation, spider veins, which are tiny, red blood vessels may become visible on your legs. The flow is also what makes your cheeks flush. Again, spider veins are not a matter of concern and are perfectly normal. If you experience pain and find it tough to move around with spider veins, you should consult your doctor.

    3. Acne and breakouts

    The change in hormones is again the pillar of cause for acne and breakouts. Just like in adolescence, hormonal changes cause acne and breakouts. Similarly, during pregnancy, the changes may affect your skin by causing unnecessary pimples, acne, and more. It's best to develop a skincare regime for yourself and include gentle and natural products. Ingredients like tea tree oil, neem or salicylic acid work great on acne and can help you with breakouts, oiliness and pores.

    4. Itchy skin

    Pregnancy is said to make your skin dry. The dryness is what induces itchy and scaly skin. Additionally, dryness can make your skin more prone to stretch marks and itchiness. So, use loads of moisturizers and stay hydrated to battle this skin change during pregnancy.

    5. Hyperpigmentation

    Hyperpigmentation refers to the appearance of some dark spots on your face or body. Usually, the issue resolves as soon as your baby is delivered. However, a healthy diet and a hydrated body will keep this skin change at bay during pregnancy.

    Pregnancy can get strange, and your body may or may not be ready to deal with it. The skin changes mentioned are quite common and easy to be dealt with. Avoid stressing about your skin during pregnancy, and enjoy the pregnancy glow. When your baby is out and about, all this will seem worth it.
