Today we’re sharing how you can naturally fight and treat acne, even during pregnancy.
It’s important to know that in order to treat acne, there are 3 main conditions to take into consideration: hormonal regulation, nutrition and hydration, and a suitable facial care routine;
1 step – Exfoliate 1 to 2 times a week, using a bamboo or clay facial scrub;
Step 2 – Purifying mask of montmorilinite green clay or blue clay;
Step 3 – tone with cypress hydrolate (for very oily or problematic skin) or rose (rebalancing);
Step 4 – moisturizing with oil*. We tend to over-dry our skin with excessive cleansing, but the more we clean, the more oil our skin will produce. We must choose the right oil that rebalances it and has a sebum-regulating action.
Step 5 – SOS Serum**
*Oil moisturizer: 5 tablespoons aloe vera vegetable oil, 2 drops lavender latifolia essential oil, 5 drops cypress essential oil;
** SOS to put on pimples:
1 teaspoon of active liposome gel
1 teaspoon of neutral aloe vera and shea cream (or vegetable aloe vera, calendula or rosehip oil)
10 drops of cypress essential oil
Notes: Pregnant women can only use it in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and should prefer tea tree essential oil over cypress, and palmarosa essential oil over lavender latifolia essential oil.
