“Pregnancy, the most beautiful gift & blessing for a woman”
Every season during the pregnancy phase brings its own set of challenges, but winter is the most crucial one. Why?
Let’s dive into the effects of winter during & after pregnancy, especially on your skin.
Winter brings a lot of great things, like green vegetables (fridge occupied to its full capacity), peas that make noodles extra yummy, & fruits. Besides this, the cosy & warm feeling as soon as you get inside the blanket where even a small gap makes you feel the chill.
But, everything has some pros & cons. When it’s about winter then the cons are
Dry skin (those cracked white lines)
Flaky skin
Stretch marks (the marks, that no one loves)
Dark patches aka Melasma or hyperpigmentation
Slow healing of skin
Prone to more diseases (viral fever always tops the chart)
Deficiency of Vitamin D (Sun hard to spot as the moon on full-moon light)
Pain in joints, & reduced blood flow.
Cracked skin especially of hands, & nipples
Loose & shaggy skin
Stretch marks become more visible
Melasma becoming more visible
Why Is Your Skin Struggling in Winter? The Science Behind It!
When you’re carrying a new life inside you, then naturally your motherly instincts kick in to be more careful during the pregnancy, the start of parenthood.
But with these, you also experience hormonal changes, especially hCG levels.
Because of these hormonal changes, there's an increase in TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss), the primary reason for dry, flaky skin, & a slow skin healing process. Besides this, an increase in the level of melanin (stimulated by Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone ) causes the Melasma “the mask of pregnancy”.
To learn more about melasma, you can go through What's Melasma
Having water frequently, like you get thirsty after doing some tiring physical work. The more you drink water, the more you will compensate for the loss of water due to TEWL.
By having more water, half of the problem gets solved. But what about the rest?
Don’t worry, we're here to give you all the solutions to make your pregnancy & post-pregnancy phase as beautiful as the winter landscapes, or the portrait of a baby hanging on your room’s wall( if not, then you should because Manifestation works).
As the pregnancy progresses, your tummy starts growing (has your baby kicked you yet, or how was the feeling when you felt the first kick) because of this you get stretch marks around your belly, thighs & breasts (it’s common & natural to have during pregnancy). So, taking a proactive approach will help you control the stretch marks & firmness of the skin. For that, you should use ant-stretch mark oil & body firming cream.
We understand your concern. The market is flooded with lots of such creams, & oils which promise to deliver results but they’re either just saying or have some side effects. So, the best creams & oils are those which are natural in their composition.
For an Anti-stretch mark solution, a product should have
Anti-inflammatory properties
Stimulates collagen production, as it boosts skin elasticity & fastens the skin healing process
Should be from harmful chemicals such as parabens, sulphates & phthalates etc
Hydrates skin
& the most important, it should be dermatologically tested which should be there for any skin-care product.

Not only does skin get stretched but nipples also get sore & cracked as the breasts grow & start producing milk. & when you start breastfeeding, then due to various reasons such as
Improper latching
More breastfeeding
Breast milk left on the nipples
Mastitis ( blocked milk ducts), causing irritation & inflammation.
For a beautiful bond between baby & mother, breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt, isn’t it? So to take care of this, & make sure your baby gets nutrition from your breast milk as well as making it a happy moment you should put your trust in the solution that is dermatologically tested( always), & should be quick & effective.

So, just enjoy your motherhood irrespective of the season. Because to be a mother is a challenging & most difficult thing in the world yet all mothers do it happily and with so much love that it makes the world a liveable place. Rumi had rightly said.
