Top 3 pregnancy-safe moisturizers
If you stop to think about it, the goal of your moisturizer is to sink into your skin and hydrate. This means the ingredients (including some serious no-nos) are penetrating your skin! All the more reason to reach for more natural face moisturizers while expecting.
Our Top 3 favorite non-toxic pregnancy-safe face moisturizer formulas are lightweight, hydrating, and most importantly pleasantly fresh (not too earthy) smelling. Plus a bonus face oil that does double duty as face & belly oil AND is the best addition to your moisturizing routine for extra pregnancy glow!
Andalou Naturals Probiotic + C Renewal Cream
Why we love it:
Before you apply your moisturizer, treat yourself to an at-home facial (and manicure!) with our Spa Day Pregnancy Bundle, curated with pregnancy-safe essentials just for you.
This natural facial moisturizer has a nice light consistency that makes it super easy to apply. Plus, it's packed with vitamin C which we always hear is great for our skin, and the cream's scent is fresh and citrusy, which we feel works well with our morning sickness (as opposed to against it!). You can buy this moisturizer online from Amazon or pop into Whole Foods and pick it up.
Juice Beauty SPF 30 Oil-Free Moisturizer
Why we love it:
Rather than feeling thick and slathered on, this cream penetrates & plumps, leaving you ultra-moisturized (and protected from the sun!), but without the weight and grease of the average moisturizer. The natural scent doesn’t stay with you all day, unlike other earthier moisturizers. You’re skin is left looking bright and feeling relieved of any tightness that comes along with drying, while the lightweight formula wards off pesky pregnancy breakouts.
Herbivore Botanicals Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Creme
Why we love it:
One of our favorite clean beauty brands is Herbivore Botanicals - they've somehow perfected how to balance luxury and simplicity in all of their products. Pink Cloud Rosewater Moisture Creme comes in a beautiful glass container and has a delicate rose scent, while the the formula feels very lightweight and not the least bit greasy. This natural facial moisturizer hydrates and soothes, while rosewater helps to combat the appearance of redness in skin. We love applying this morning or night!
Although it’s not a face moisturizer per se, we want to give a shout out to our favorite clean pregnancy-safe face oil that delivers on both hydration & luxury: Mother Mother Oil. This luxe multi-tasking oil, made with cranberry seed, pomegranate, marula, borage, and baobab oils, provides essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, and leaves skin feeling hydrated and nourished. We like to add a drop to our moisturizer for an extra dewy finish. The best part is that it can be used on the face AND other parts of the body, like stretching belly skin, creating a powerhouse product that makes an indulgent addition to mama’s self-care ritual for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
