Many are the changes and transformations that a woman's body undergoes during your pregnancy. Prevention is essential in this case, since these changes occur very abruptly. If we do not take care of it previously, we can hardly recover it later.
It is not simply a matter of weight. Every woman and every body is different, that's why some women recover quickly, and others spend years trying to get back to what we were. Here genetics play a fundamental role.
But when we talk about skin, although in the same way they are all different, we do have a pattern. Women suffer in our skin, hormonal changes that we undergo throughout our lives.
Main care after pregnancy
That is why after pregnancy, the care that we must apply is basically similar for all. The brand you choose is indifferent, it is more or less expensive, they all have similar components. The difference is made by constancy, not the price of the product.
It is preferable that you buy low or medium range products, but that apply them every day morning and night. If you buy high-end products and you are not constant, you will be wasting your money. So start getting into the habit with something more affordable.
The main thing and more important is that the products are specific for the postpartum. Especially if you are breastfeeding. It is not advisable to use products with caffeine, an active principle that is widely used against cellulite, for example.
In addition, you must use specific products for each part of the body. It starts with a good hydration from the inside. Drink lots of water and eat foods rich in fiber. Do not forget to hydrate the skin well, every day after the shower.
With a newborn baby it is very difficult to have time to dedicate to care. But you can find formats that are easier to apply, without losing an iota of effectiveness. Instead of applying creams to your body that take a long time to absorb, use oils.
The oils are very quick to apply, since they spread on wet skin, then you just have to dry yourself and you can get dressed right away. What's more, you will find many varieties and formats, as in spray, which is even faster to use.
Chest care
The breast undergoes a significant change from the first weeks of pregnancy. It increases by about two sizes very abruptly, so that loses elasticity and stretch marks appear. Use firming products that promote elastin production.
If you combine it with gentle exercises, specific for this part of the body, you can achieve a significant improvement. Remember especially in this case, look for a suitable product for postpartum. Y apply it once you have breastfed your baby, so that the product is completely absorbed.
The correct way to apply it is from bottom to top, with smooth and circular movements.
Belly and hip care
In this case, you can use a two-for-one, or opt for specific cosmetics. It is much more advisable to opt for the second option, but it all depends on your perseverance and your possibilities.
The most important thing is how you apply these products. In the belly, you have to applying a small circular massage. Press gently but firmly. Use both hands, from the lower abdomen, begin a gentle massage that joins the two hands at the top. Always from bottom to top.
For the hips and thighs, get a massager roller that will help you in the application of the product. Even many products have it incorporated for their application. However, the applicator can be used for other areas, it's easy to find and inexpensive.
Face care
Facial skin is very delicate, we must take special precaution when we are undergoing significant hormonal changes. In order to prevent hyper pigmentation, it is essential to start with care during pregnancy.
Get used to always using a moisturizer that has a high sun protection factor, and with a total screen. Protect yourself from the sun's rays and avoid exposing yourself in the central hours. Once the marks appear on the skin, it is very difficult to remove them.
It is important to spend a few minutes a day to yourself, it will help you regain your role as a woman and not feel like just a mother.
