Oily Acne Prone Skin Remedies For Pregnant Moms

By Winny Loi

It is great to feel the excitement of becoming a mother for the first time in your life where you will have the opportunity to play a vital role in the development of your newborn's life. But occasionally, the environment and the circumstances surrounding your life can lead to disappointment where your negative emotions can take turn for the worse, triggering a new wave of acne breakouts from a sensitive oily acne prone skin condition that is by-product of inconsistent nutrition.

We all live in a fast paced society where new products are being launched to solve the nations problems facing many pregnant moms in the area of high quality nutrition. There are multitudes of products that can make typical mom's 9 month journey through pregnancy a great experience.

Since the largest organ of our body is our skin, many pregnant moms are well educated in the fact that their bodies are constantly undergoing many changes that can affect the quality of their skin tone. And they are aware that everyone's body is different from one another, so the skin care needs is a reflection of those differences.

Finding the perfect skin care product to eliminate all your skin care problems can be a very daunting task to a young mother due to the unlimited number of choices at their disposal. And determining their PH balance of their skin (dry acne prone skin or oily acne prone skin) is another challenge they face in their quest for achieving glowing skin. Your skin's PH balance is one of the most overlooked factors taken into consideration for the careful selection of the right skin care products. What may have worked prior to pregnancy may in fact not be applicable to a skin care regimen during and after pregnancy.

As a result of learning about the complicated nature of Chinese herbal medicine from my family in which I have grown up, I was able to apply the principles of Yin and Yang to improving every aspect of my health as a young mother of two children. I learned how the texture of my skin is dependent on how well my internal organs are functioning on a healthy level in terms of natural detoxification. So you can see how skin care products alone cannot address some of the most common skin care issues.

Vegetarians already know about the importance of consuming products of a non-toxic nature. This applies to not only foods but what we put on our skin. The organic community have always supported the consumption of certifiably organic foods. The news of this nature spread like wild fire, and eventually made it into the mainstream community of pregnant moms who became incredibly health conscious to the point where they eventually became well educated on the types of pesticides and contaminants in almost every beauty product, lotion, shampoo and cream we put on our skin.

There are studies that have shown that your reproductive capabilities can be compromised by multiple carcinogenic chemicals that are present in modern day beauty products. Using these products could be harmful to both the new mother and her unborn child. But on the other hand, there are a lot of organically made beauty products that are free of those harmful chemicals. And in case you are not aware, a lot of babies are suffering from diaper rashes which is nothing more than your baby's reaction to the contaminants present in either the modern day baby oil or cream.

Have you heard of a baby cream formula that is made of fruits, veggies, and essential oils of an organic nature? I am proud to announce that a good friend of mine has created a baby skin care cream that is destined to be targeted to the marketplace of desperate moms who are looking for a skin care solution for their baby's diaper rash problem. It is not only diaper rash they are concerned about. It is the skin health of their infant that has a greater priority. Just remember that what is put on our baby's skin has an impact on his or her health.

Here is a beauty protocol that is perfect for any mother concerned about what I have been talking about. Have you heard about the stretch marks that every mother worries about developing after giving birth to her first child or more? A lot of skin care manufacturers have developed unique botanical ingredients that will have your skin glowing with increasingly reduced stretch marks.

Toning oils are the current solution to sagging skin following childbirth. Commonly known as stretch marks, a concoction of avocados, pomegranate, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil can dramatically improve the production of your skin's collagen and strengthen your skin's elasticity, thereby reducing the appearance of stretch marks. Body toning oils come in all forms, so it is highly recommended that you consult your skin care specialist for the proper toning oils for extreme cases of stretch marks.

Organic shampoos and soaps for both the body and face are great products that you can add to your collection of secrets to maintaining baby smooth skin which are completely free of drying substances that can dull the texture of your skin.

Health food stores throughout the US carry beauty products of an organic nature. If you are unsure of what products to buy that is appropriate for your skin type, you can talk to a holistic practitioner for expert advice. They have tons of health and wellness information relating to skin health that you can truly benefit from. They don't just talk the talk. They walk the walk.

There are a few manufacturers who violate your rights as a consumer by not being truthful about the harsh contaminants present in the ingredients of their products. And because of their actions, it is very important that you take the time to make sure that there is a certified organic label on their products. Please be aware that there are tons of products out there that claim that they are organic and back it up with an organic rating. Organic rating is not sufficient enough. Always look for a certified organic label for organic authenticity.

You should take good care of yourself and your baby by starting off on the right track to maintaining a proper skin care regimen that is crucial for long lasting skin health for both the mother and child. - 15252
