7 Best Natural Skincare Ingredients That I Don’t Regret Adding To My Pregnancy Skincare Line-Up

Building a powerful and consistent pregnancy skincare regime was quite a challenge for me. My complexion was extremely sensitive and everything that I put on my skin caused breakouts and inflammation. That’s when I decided to ditch the fancy potions and creams and go the natural way to enhance my skin health and get back my glow. My main focus was to keep my beauty regime simple and short while incorporating effective ingredients that resolve my skin woes from within.

So I did a bit of research and found the following set of natural skincare ingredients that not only worked great at addressing my pregnancy skin woes but also kept my sensitive skin soothed and nourished. To help you choose the best one, I have also listed the skincare woes that each of the ingredients solves so that you can pick the perfect one according to your skin’s needs. So next time you go shopping, make sure to scan the product label to check for these ingredients and apply them regularly for the best results. I personally don’t regret adding these natural ingredients to my routine, and I bet you won’t too!

7 Natural Skincare Ingredients For A Nourished Glow

Vitamin C To Treat Hyperpigmentation And Dull Spots

This ingredient takes the prize for increasing skin glow and keeping the skin barrier intact. It also aids in collagen synthesis, which helps improve the firmness and smoothness of your skin, and inhibits the production of melanin to prevent dark spots or acne after sun exposure. Apart from this, vitamin C also helps lighten existing dull spots in your skin, and when used in your AM skincare routine, it doubles up as a sun protectant. 

Check out The Moms Co.’s natural vitamin C face serum that protects your skin from free radicals and sun damage and repairs your skin tone to reveal a firm and taut complexion.

Green Tea Extract To Reduce Inflammation And Acne

This natural skincare ingredient contains high levels of antioxidant chemicals, such as flavonoids, catechins, and theaflavin that reduce topical oxidative stress and repair or improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. The same chemicals also boast excellent natural anti-inflammatory properties that help fight acne-causing bacteria and help reverse signs of ageing. 

Go for The Moms Co.’s natural green tea face wash to reap all the benefits of this natural ingredient and tackle skin woes, such as acne and inflammation. 

Willow Herb To Soothe Your Skin And Acne Breakouts

Willow herb is a unique anti-irritant, anti-microbial, and antiseptic ingredient that has been long used to soothe acne breakouts and skin inflammation. The wildflower works by fighting acne-causing bacteria and soothing inflammation and redness associated with it. It also helps retain moisture and keeps your complexion nourished and hydrated.

Try natural vitamin C face cream from The Moms Co., which contains willow herb, squalane, and ferulic acid that protect your skin barrier and aid in collagen synthesis to strengthen your skin barrier and prevent acne breakouts.

Niacinamide For Sensitive Skin And Acne Scars

I think that niacinamide is the ultimate one-size-fits-all ingredient in the skincare universe. Designed especially for sensitive skin, this ingredient also works wonders for other skin types and resolves almost all pregnancy skin woes to give you a healthy and radiant complexion. 

Here’s how the ingredient benefits your skin: it reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, repairs uneven skin tone, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, fades hyperpigmentation marks, boosts collagen production, and also restores glow. Go for The Moms Co.’s natural niacinamide face serum to get all these benefits and resolve, well, most of your pregnancy skin issues.

Licorice Extract To Help Treat Redness And Rosacea

Licorice extract has rich anti-inflammatory qualities, making it one of the best skincare ingredients to treat inflammatory skin conditions like rosacea and redness. The plant has also been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation by blocking the production of melanin and preventing redness and dark spots caused by prolonged sun exposure.

Opt for The Moms Co.’s natural daily sunscreen featuring zinc oxide, chamomile, calendula, and licorice extracts that offer broad-spectrum protection against sun damage and prevent pigmentation and dull spots.

Oats To Soothe Eczema And Other Skin Irritations

Colloidal oats is literally the holy grail ingredient for those with dry skin and other inflammatory skin conditions. It has rich antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, as well as protective qualities that help replenish your skin barrier and maintain optimum levels of hydration to prevent skin irritation.

I used The Moms Co.’s natural green tea night gel in my skincare regime, and I must say, this product is the ultimate saviour for those experiencing itchy and dry skin during pregnancy. It contains a blend of botanical actives like oatmeal, green tea, aloe vera, and niacinamide that work double duty to provide hydration to your skin and prevent transepidermal water loss. In this formula, oatmeal works as a skin conditioning agent, while aloe vera and green tea detoxify and soothe your skin, and niacinamide helps balance the pH levels of your complexion.

Ceramide To Strengthen Your Skin Barrier

I believe that ceramides are the unsung heroes of the skincare world. But sadly, as compared to other skincare favourites like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, they rarely get a look in. But let me tell you, ceramides pack a punch of benefits, and work effectively in strengthening your skin barrier and improving the texture of your skin. You can consider adding The Moms Co.’s natural ceramide face cream to your skincare routine to rebuild your skin barrier, improve moisturisation, and replenish your skin.

These natural skincare ingredients are safe to use during pregnancy and help resolve most of your skin woes. The Moms Co.’s skincare products are designed with natural ingredients and plant-based extracts that are 100% pregnancy-safe and chemical-free. Their skincare products are designed #ForEveryMoms needs #ThroughEveryChange, and I think you should definitely give them a try if you are looking to go the natural way to enhance your skin health and integrity.
