Top 3 Pregnancy-Safe Face Washes
Every good beauty routine starts with washing your face; it’s not only refreshing, it’s essential to prepare your skin for all of the topical goodies to really sink in and do their job. As serial drugstore brand face wash shoppers (guilty), it took us being pregnant to dive into all natural, higher-end cleansers. This is what we have been missing out on all of these years? Beauty gods, please forgive us for living in skincare sin. After years of convincing ourselves that facial cleansers can be skimped on because “it’s just washing your face”, we duly report that our skin has never been clearer, glow-ier, smoother…just, better. So, there’s no greater time than now to break your bad habit and making the switch to a non-toxic face cleanser. Trust us, you won’t regret any of our Top 3 chemical-free face washes.
Face wash is of course part of your daily self-care routine, but don’t forget to take a little more time, just for yourself, when you can. One way we love to treat ourselves is with an at-home spa day, which is why we curated this Spa Day Pregnancy Bundle for other Mamas-to-be to enjoy!
Why we love it:
Not coincidentally, this non-toxic face cleanser is just like a dip in the sea: cool and refreshing. The minty colored product even smells clean, with notes of lime to tingle your senses. Like the product itself, your skin will look and feel bright and clear. It’s great for those of us fighting pregnancy acne, as it seems the most effective of our Top 3 cleansers at zapping any imperfections.
One Love Organics Vitamin B Enzyme Cleansing Oil
Why we love it:
We curated this pregnancy bundle to enhance your nightly routines! So after you’ve washed your face, slip into these cozy maternity/postpartum pjs, massage away any soreness with the wooden massager and 8 Sheep Organics sleepy lotion, sip a nausea-relief tea, and read up on helpful Pregnancy Hacks!
We love this fruity, tropical-smelling cleansing oil! Winner of the 2016 Glamour Beauty’s Best Natural Cleanser award, it comes highly recommended from the skin experts at clean beauty boutiques like Follain and Credo. And if you haven’t washed your face with a cleansing oil (like this one) before, we can’t recommend it enough! The entire ritual is relaxing and spa-like: Warm 1-2 pumps between your palms and apply cleanser to a dry face, then press a warm, wet facecloth to your face and let cool. Gently remove excess cleanser with facecloth (optional: rub textured facecloth in small circles to exfoliate your skin), and rinse clean.
Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser
Why we love it:
This hydrating non-toxic plant-based face cleanser makes washing our face a chore we look forward to! The fresh, light strawberry scent is uplifting, and the gentle formula that’s high in antioxidants leaves our skin clean, exfoliated, and refreshed. This cleanser is one of Indie Lee’s best-selling products and after trying it ourselves, it has quickly become a welcomed part of our skincare routine.
