Tummy Skincare During Pregnancy by Esse&Co

LONDON - Feb. 21, 2022 - PRLog -- Tummy Skin Changes During Pregnancy

We all talk a lot about the tummy growing during pregnancy, it is actually your uterus that is expanding in size to allow for your baby's development—not the stomach. Skin is our largest organ and as a living organ will expand around the uterus during pregnancy. As this happens, there are areas of the tummy that can stretch, and depending on a person's genetics and their skin's ability to accommodate this change, this can lead to stretch marks. The amount of skin stretching experienced during this period will vary from one person to another. As this weight gain occurs, your skin will stretch to accommodate, potentially leading to the development of stretch marks.

Many also notice a darkened line in the middle of the belly, known as a linea nigra, as pregnancy progresses. It is important to note, that much like the other changes that occur in pregnancy, this line can last postpartum, often for up to a year or more.

Tummy Skincare During Pregnancy

"Gentle" is the keyword when it comes to skincare during pregnancy. It's important to use products that include ingredients that are safe for you and your baby.

Make sure they're using plant-based ingredients and are avoiding products that contain retinoids, acids and products containing fragrances and essential oils such as bath bombs and scented lotions.
