Skin & Hair Care
Pregnancy and childbirth bring fluctuations in hormones, leading to shifts in skin texture and tone and hair loss.
Your new best friend for postpartum skincare is a natural ultra-hydrating moisturizer. Body creams and lotions with shea butter and cocoa butter help hydrate our postpartum bellies—and hydrated skin helps minimize the appearance of stretch marks. Creams with natural ingredients like caffeine or aloe vera can also help skin appear firmer and more even.
Postpartum hair loss is a common occurrence for new mothers. It can be a stressful and frustrating experience, but luckily there are products available to help this issue. Volumizing Shampoo made shedding look not so obvious for me, especially because i already had thin hair to begin with, but it's important to choose a shampoo that is gentle and won't further damage already fragile hair. Shampoos that contain biotin, which is known to promote hair growth, and other nourishing ingredients like argan oil, keratin, and collagen are a good choice.
Remember to do your own research and talk to your doctor, too!
