How-to protect your skin while pregnant

So, you've got a little bun in the oven, huh? Congratulations! While you're glowing with that pregnancy radiance, it's important to remember to protect your skin from the harsh sun rays. But don't worry, mama, we've got you covered with some tips to keep you and your baby safe while soaking up some Vitamin D.

1. Slather on that SPF

SPF is your new BFF! Make sure to lather up with a pregnancy-safe sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Look for mineral-based options with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for extra protection. And remember, reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

2. Rock that Wide-Brimmed Hat

Who says hats are just for bad hair days? A stylish wide-brimmed hat not only adds a touch of glam to your maternity look but also provides extra shade for your face, neck, and shoulders. Plus, you'll feel like a movie star incognito, which is always a win.

3. Seek Shade like a Pro

When the sun is blazing, find refuge in the shade like a pro. Whether it's under a beach umbrella, a leafy tree, or the cool comfort of a shadow, give your skin a break from the sun's intense rays.

4. Cover Up in Style

Who says you can't be fashionable and sun-safe at the same time? Rock a flowy maxi dress, a breezy kaftan, or a chic cover-up to protect your skin from the sun while looking like a boho goddess. Bonus points for extra-wide sunglasses to shield your peepers.

5. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Just like a thirsty succulent, your skin needs hydration to stay plump and healthy. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin happy and glowing. Think of it as a refreshing sip for you and your little one.

6. Time it Right

Avoid the sun's peak hours (10 am to 4 pm) when it's at its strongest. Instead, schedule your outdoor activities in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is less intense. It's like playing hide-and-seek with the sun, but you're the winner.

7. Use a healthy self-tanner

We know how good it feels to have a nice tan going on. Especially when you're getting extra round. The best way to get a nice glow while still protecting your skin is to go faux. Seafoam Glow Self-Tanning Mousse is the best natural self-tanner for pregnancy. It's packed with nourishing skincare ingredients for healthy skin and is the best way to feel confident and stay covered. 

Pregnant women are more likely to develop skin issues from sun exposure. The chance of overheating and dehydration are also way up there during pregnancy. More annoying things to think about during this special time, we know.

You may notice you get way more freckly or develop dark spots when exposed to the sun. Many pregnant women have increased sensitivity to the sun due to hormonal changes and get sunburn more easily or develop heat rash. While being vigilant about sun protection should always be a must, it's especially important to keep your skin covered during pregnancy.

Remember, mama, protecting your skin from the sun isn't just about avoiding sunburn—it's about keeping you and your baby safe from harmful UV rays. So, slather on that sunscreen, rock that wide-brimmed hat, layer on the best self-tanner for pregnancy and seek shade like a pro. Your skin—and your little one—will thank you for it!
