Itchy Skin During Pregnancy Especially at Night - How to Get Relief

Winter weather and cold temperatures are known to make a pregnant woman's skin dry and itchy. However, the summer sun can be incredibly dehydrating and also cause itchy skin during pregnancy especially at night. 

In the summertime, many women spend a day in the rays or in the pool/ocean water.  The strong summer rays cause the skin to be dry, flaky, irritated and dull. This activity is drying to your skin and your moisturizer likely needs a reapplication closer to bed time. 

There's nothing more annoying, especially during the later months when it's generally hard to get comfortable because of your body shape & size, than itchy skin during pregnancy especially at night -- specifically those hard to reach places like the back.  A girl - specifically a mom to be - really needs her beauty rest. 

During the summer months, you can be more proactive about your itchy, pregnancy skin. Exfoliation is very helpful. By exfoliating your skin two to three times per week, you are unclogging your pores, sloughing away dead skin cells, and revealing the fresh, healthier skin beneath. Exfoliator can be used all over the body to improve the texture of your skin and eliminate dead skin cells decreasing the chance of break-outs and skin irritation. You can buy a loofah or a body sponge to help you exfoliate those hard to reach places.  You might find it's easier to relieve your itchy skin during pregnancy especially at night, if you take your showers before bed rather than first thing in the morning.

Here are some helpful Belli skincare tips to relieving itchy skin during pregnancy especially at night:

• Drink lots of water to keep your skin as hydrated as possible
