Pregnancy hormones bring about huge changes to almost every part of a woman's body, from skin and hair right through to teeth and gums. To keep their pregnant bodies in top condition, mums-to-be need to adjust their daily skin-care and pampering routine to ensure that they feel and look great, right up to their due date and beyond.

Pregnancy doesn't have to mean an end to your usual skin-care routine - some women may find it fine to continue with their usual products, but others may need to consider cutting down usage or temporarily finding an alternative.

There are lots of products out there that smell gorgeous, are great for your skin and don't pose any harm, so enjoy browsing what's on offer and trying out the products.

Due to hormone fluctuation, not every pregnant woman is lucky enough to enjoy glowing skin, especially in the first trimester. The first ever appearance or a recurrence of acne is one of the pregnancy symptoms that you could definitely live without.

Pregnancy break-outs can be depressing, but the good news is that acne usually settles down during the second trimester, although some will have to endure the problem for much longer.

At the other end of the scale, you may find that your skin seems extra parched and dry during pregnancy. Every woman, and pregnancy, is different.

Dry or oily, both demand attention and extra care, an extra diligent skin-care regime is your most important means of control.

Now that you're pregnant, there are all sorts of issues to consider Whilst you might not have given your skin-care routine a second thought, perhaps you should, as some of the ingredients used in products leave a bit to be desired. So what products could pose problems during pregnancy and why?
