Top 3 Pregnancy-safe Night Creams
We loved our go-to overnight moisturizers, but wondered are they pregnancy-safe? Turns out, many of those plumping and smoothing ingredients might be considered off limits while expecting. After some research, we shelved our retinols, set aside anything with salicylic acid, and for greater peace-of-mind, reached for more natural pregnancy-safe night moisturizers that left us feeling hydrated and soothed. The clean beauty industry has come a long way, and so you’ll find lots of options. Here are the Top 3 pregnancy-safe natural night creams that made it into our rotation.
Why we love it:
While not technically a night cream, we love layering this luxe multi-tasking oil into our evening skincare routine because it is intensely moisturizing and soothing with a beautiful light scent. Cranberry seed, pomegranate, marula, borage, and baobab oils provide the essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that our skin craves. We also love the fact that this one bottle can serve as a belly and body oil as well as a facial serum, and enjoy smoothing the velvety oil over our growing belly, hips, and other dry areas to nourish stretching skin. Mother Mother Oil makes such an indulgent addition to mama’s self-care ritual for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, which is why we’ve added it to our Spa Day Pregnancy Bundle shown here!
We curated this pregnancy bundle to enhance your nightly routines! So after you’ve slathered on your pregnancy-safe night cream, 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!
CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream
Why we love it:
When we visited the dermatologist for the first time, she recommended CeraVe as a moisturizer, which made us trust the quality of this brand. This particular formula is made without any questionable ingredients and is completely fragrance-free, it's reasonably priced, and sold at drugstores, Ulta, and Target. It's a great basic, pregnancy-safe night moisturizer that gets the job done.
Ursa Major Golden Hour Recovery Cream
Why we love it:
The beauty experts we spoke with at both Follain and Credo recommended we try the Ursa Major Golden Hour Recovery Cream as an overnight moisturizer. The fast-absorbing formula is easy to apply and rub in completely, it felt extremely hydrating and soothing on the skin, and it has a light scent.
