Are you trying to go organic during your pregnancy? You might be eating
organic but what about the products you put on your skin? Just because
they say natural or even organic, it certainly does not mean they are
safe for you, much less for your tiny fetus. Personal care products are
not regulated the same way that food items are. Please do not be naive.
These products contain ingredients linked to cancer, neurotically, developmental and reproductive toxicity, organ toxicity, allergies,
endocrine disruption, biochemical and cellular changes and more.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is recommending
that pregnant women should be told about the various ways they might be
exposed to chemicals, for example in household and cosmetic products, in
order to cut the risk of harm to their unborn baby. Check out Top 5
beauty product safe for use during pregnancy.
Organic Facial Oil:
This facial oil is made
with almond and rose base oils plus essential oils and a few other bits
and pieces – it smells lovely, but the fragrance is 'parfum', which
could be anything. Like the name says, it's still 100% organic and is
made with extracts from Kew gardens. Main ingredient rose-hip contains
essential omega oils so is nourishing, improving suppleness. Boots say
it's 'scientifically proven' to lock in moisture for up to eight hours,
helping to restore your skin's natural glow, too. It can be used after
cleansing on its own or underneath your moisturizer – both day and
night. To apply: put a few drops into your palm, rub your hands together
and apply to your face in light strokes. When you've got enough on, you
can rub the rest into your hands.
Hand and Body Soothing Hand Cream:
Relieves dry skin. It is formulated with Iceland moss to instantly
soothe dry, chapped skin. Its rich, non-greasy formula includes shea
butter, almond oil and provitamin B5, leaving your hands noticeably
softer and smoother.
Beautiful Skin Rapid Spot Rescue:
Comes with Liquorice Root and helps Soothe the Skin. This non-drying
formula starts working immediately to visibly reduce blemish size and
redness in just 2 hrs. Can Be Used Over Make-Up.
Beautiful Skin T-Zone Rescue Balm:
Banish excess shine and oiliness with this fabulous new balm. Zinc and
Witch Hazel act together to help control oil production and calm any
redness in the skin. Note: Shiny skin will be a thing of the past! For
Best Results: Apply a thin layer to nose and forehead before
moisturizing.
Essence, Colour & Go Nail Polish:
A coat of nail polish can brighten your mood, so opt for phthalate-free
nail polish. Or polish your nails in a well-ventilated area to limit
your exposure. Once the polish dries, there's little risk to your baby,
since chemicals aren't absorbed through the nails.
