The soaring temperatures during the summer months can be harsh on your skin, especially during pregnancy. This is because due to hormonal changes, your skin is overly sensitive and reacts easily to external aggressors like the sun’s rays and pollution. But don’t fret, as all you need to do is upgrade your existing beauty routine and incorporate some essential summer skincare tips to enhance your complexion and boost your glow.
Read on to know more about how to protect, nourish, and moisturise your skin during the summer months, and the right pregnancy-safe products to use to achieve a radiant glow throughout the season.

Due to the humidity in the summer months, your face tends to produce more oil. Hence, it’s a good idea to switch to a purifying face wash during this time.
You can opt for The Moms Co.’s natural clay face wash that has oil-balancing and purifying qualities. It contains potent ingredients like kaolin clay, Moroccan lava clay, and bentonite extracts that detox your skin, balance excess oil, and unclog your pores to give a more even-toned and radiant skin tone.
During the summer months, your skin needs an extra dose of TLC as it works hard to keep itself healthy and heal any sunburns or irritation. To boost cellular repair, you can try exfoliating your skin at least twice a week.
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and enhances the skin cell turnover process, leaving behind a soft and nourished complexion. Opt for The Moms Co.’s natural coffee and cranberry face scrub which is antioxidant-rich, and helps gently remove whiteheads and blackheads, and unclogs your pores.
Regular use of this face scrub can also help boost your skin’s firmness and elasticity, which further elevates your complexion’s health and gives you a healthy glow.
Antioxidants, such as vitamin C and ferulic acid help protect your skin from environmental pollution and damage and also neutralise free radicals to prevent inflammatory skin conditions like hyperpigmentation.
You can consider adding The Moms Co.’s natural vitamin C serum to your pregnancy skincare routine as it helps tackle an uneven skin tone and fights free radicals. In addition to vitamin C, the serum also contains licorice extracts and ginseng that moisturise and brighten your skin and help build collagen to reveal a youthful look.
Sunscreen is a crucial skincare product that you cannot forget during the summer season. Sun protection for your face and other exposed body parts is extremely vital during pregnancy to prevent permanent skin damage, hyperpigmentation, or the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
You can opt for The Moms Co.’s natural daily sunscreen, which is mineral-based and offers broad-spectrum UV coverage. It contains pregnancy-safe ingredients like zinc oxide, chamomile, calendula, and licorice extracts that prevent redness or dark spots in your skin and heal rashes and inflammation.

Your skin is prone to pigmentation, blemishes, and sunspots during pregnancy. Using an antioxidant-enriched face cream can help reduce dullness and improve your skin texture. Go for The Moms Co.’s natural vita-rich face cream, which is formulated with botanical extracts like vitamin E, argan oil, and arbutin that effectively nourish your skin, and reduce blemishes and sun spots.
Your under-eye area needs special care as they are more delicate than the rest of your face. To ensure nourishment, add The Moms Co.’s natural vita-rich under-eye cream to your AM and PM pregnancy routine.
This cream contains chamomile, coffee, and chia seed oils that retain moisture in your skin, reduce dark circles, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to applying this under-eye cream, make sure to wear sunglasses while stepping out in the sun to prevent tanning or sunburn.
A cooling face mist serves as a saviour for your complexion on hot and humid days. Use The Moms Co.’s natural hydrating face mist, which is formulated with hydrating ingredients like rose water, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and green tea that soothe skin redness and inflammation to reveal a dewy and healthy look.
Following these summer skincare tips can keep your complexion nourished and healthy during pregnancy. The best part is that The Moms Co. products that we discussed above are made with 100% natural ingredients, which means you don’t have to worry about any adverse reactions to your or your baby’s health.
Apart from following a consistent skincare routine, make sure to consume nutrient-enriched fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water to achieve your summer skin goals effortlessly.
