| 03/06/2010: | Safe At-Home Pregnancy Acne Facial
|
| | You can address pregnancy acne safely with lactic acid-- an ingredient that is naturally found in the body. Lactic acid works by cleaning out the dead skin cells and oil (sebum) that clog the facial pores and result in bacterial overgrowth. With unclogged pores the bacteria are less likely to flourish, preventing the start of pregnancy acne. |
| 02/27/2010: | Safe Acne Treatment in Pregnancy
|
| | Expecting moms will hear from their OB-GYNs that pregnancy for every woman is unique, including how it impacts their skin. Not all women suffer from the same pregnancy-related skin care issues. For example, many women suffer from pregnancy acne due to increased hormone levels in the body. This can be a sensitive issue because often pregnant women have self-esteem issues due to their bodies are undergoing so much change during pregnancy. A case of pregnancy acne definitely does not help matters. Some pregnant moms consider chemical peels to treat their pregnancy acne. Chemical peels come in several varieties and contain one or more keratolytics chemicals that soften the epidermis, unclog pores, and remove layers of dead skin cells. Many of the commonly available keratolytics (such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid) have questionable links to birth defects in published medical studies. Over-the-counter spot treatments (like Benzoyl Peroxide) can be helpful in treating occasional acne but many mothers question if they're safe to use during pregnancy. |
| 02/20/2010: | Pregnancy and Paraben-Free Shampoos & Conditioners
|
| | If you read the back of shampoo and conditioner bottles, you will realize that most hair care brands have parabens. Though parabens are quite commonly found in beauty and skincare products, it is recommended that pregnant women avoid products containing parabens during their pregnancy. It is best to check if the product you are using during pregnancy is teratology screened. Teratology screening helps ensure you are using the safest known ingredients during pregnancy, from any source. It eliminates ingredients with links to birth defects in published medical studies, and replaces them with safer choices instead. |
| 02/14/2010: | The Flip Side: "Unnatural" Ingredients Don't Mean "Unsafe"
|
| | In a previous article, we talk about natural vs. unnatural ingredients, and about the fact that many are mislead into thinking that because something is natural, it is "safe". On the other hand, an equal amount of consumers see a long, complicated and "unnatural" sounding ingredient and wrongly believe that it might be unsafe. This is not true. In fact, when creating safe pregnancy skin care products, certain amounts of "unnatural ingredients" can be added (as say a preservative), and that ingredient poses no risk to a mother or her baby. This article covers: Ceteareth-20 and PEG-100 Stearate, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Phenoxyethanol, and Tocopheryl Acetate. |
| 02/06/2010: | Pregnant Moms Taking Precautions With Upcoming Wave of H1N1
|
| | This week the CDC announced that there could be another way of H1N1 i.e., the swine flu, to hit. As a preventative measure, many OB-GYN’s are suggesting that expectant moms get the vaccine, especially since it is now more available than it was when the outbreak first hit. Moms-to-be have weakened immune systems and are therefore naturally more susceptible to H1N1 and seasonal influenza. |
| 01/30/2010: | "All Natural", "Organic" Skincare - Safe for Pregnancy?
|
| | While most pregnant moms have been concerned about what they eat and consumers as a whole are becoming more educated about reading their food labels, there is still a lot of misinformation around skincare and those products that contain safe ingredients during pregnancy even though ingredients in your skincare products can pass through the skin into the bloodstream. So why aren't new and expecting moms thinking about safe ingredients during pregnancy when they're shopping the beauty aisle? Many new moms and moms-to-be are also under the impression that "All Natural' means safe, when it doesn't. And, actually, when it comes to pregnancy skin care, "organic" doesn't necessarily mean safe either. New and expecting moms should be aware that a natural/organic label, does not guarantee safety. In fact, some of the strongest allergens and poisons in the world come from plants. And, many natural, organically grown ingredients have been proven in research studies to be harmful during pregnancy. |

| 01/17/2010: | Itchy Dry Pregnancy Skin
|
| | Record breaking cold temperatures coupled with typical pregnancy-related skin issues can create very dehydrated and an itchy skin pregnancy for moms-to-be. Most women will experience dry, itchy skin at some point during their pregnancy. Itching caused by dry skin (xerosis) tends to be worse in the winter months. The itching is more common over tightly stretched areas of skin, such as the abdomen, in the later trimesters. It is vital for women to exfoliate and moisturize frequently to eliminate the itchy skin pregnancy irritation and dehydration. |
| 11/23/2009: | Helping Expectant Moms Achieve the “Glow”
|
| | While many women love the natural “glow” they have during pregnancy, others may not be so lucky.

|
| 11/21/2009: | C-you Later, Scars!
|
| | Nowadays, it is more common than ever for women to give birth via a Cesarean section. Whether attributed to a women’s individual health or because many women are giving birth later in life, this delivery method is steadily growing in popularity. According to recent studies conducted at Harvard Medical School, “one in three babies is born via C-section, which is a 50% increase over the past decade.” Belli’s Surgical Scar Reducer Helps Lighten Scars After C- Sections |
| 11/14/2009: | A Gift Idea that Nourishes and Protects Babies’ Skin
|
| | Deciding what to bring to the hospital after a baby is born can be stressful – the room is already overflowing with balloons, flowers, and teddy bears, and you want your gift to be perfect. So why not come prepared with a present that will not only help soothe a baby’s delicate skin but also ease a new mom’s worries? Newborn babies’ soft skin can easily be vulnerable to skin conditions like rashes and can lack moisture, which is why it is important to nourish the skin with products that cater to its sensitivity. |

| 11/01/2009: | Smooth Travels
|
| | While travel has always been a somewhat stressful experience, in recent years increased airport security and other factors have made travel even more stressful. And if rising costs of airline tickets, delayed flights and gridlock traffic isn’t wearisome enough the stress that comes with traveling has potential to wreck havoc on one’s skin. Whether traveling by plane, train or automobile, it’s important to keep skin healthy and moisturized, especially for mothers-to-be and babies, whose skin is extra sensitive. Neglecting the skin for an extended period of time has strong potential to make it become dry, itchy and irritated. |
| 10/24/2009: | Calling All Pregnant Moms - Survive Winter Feet Woes!
|
| | Harsh, cold winter air can be brutal on feet, causing excessive dry and cracked skin. For pregnant women however, the excess weight carried during the final trimesters of pregnancy can make matters much worse with swollen ankles and sore calves.

| 10/17/2009: | Don’t Be ‘Bad to the Bum!'
|
| | One of the most common ailments for newborn babies is an uncomfortable and painful diaper rash. Although parents diligently use top of the line diapers and baby wipes, diaper rashes seem to be inevitable. Babies’ skin takes time to fully develop and mature – leaving it vulnerable to external elements. Even the simplest factors such as prolonged moisture or lack of air circulation to the baby’s skin can lead to pain causing diaper rashes. |
| 10/10/2009: | Cure Those Winter Blues

|
| | Now that school is back in full swing, so is the likelihood of kids spreading sniffle and cough causing germs amongst their classmates. As the weather begins to cool down, even adults are vulnerable to these irritating germs – especially moms that are always on the go.
Germs and bacteria are a part of the everyday lives for both parents and their kids; and one of the common ways of spreading them is through our hands. A hand sanitizer is the next level in hand hygiene as it is more effective than soap in reducing the germs on your hands. Today’s multi-tasking moms are very busy with their careers and families – we don’t have time to get sick!
