Life Changing!!

I am 20 weeks along (halfway through) my second pregnancy and I have to say this time around has been a completely different experience. With my first son Bryan I was lucky not to have any morning sickness. My skin had that “pregnancy glow” and my energy was high. Well, the complete opposite is true with this pregnancy. I had morning, noon and night sickness. There were many nights my husband had to fend for himself in the kitchen and it was all I could do to prepare my 2 ½ year old son a wholesome meal 3 times a day. The thought, smell and taste of food made me want to visit the restroom on many occasions. And then I hit the 14 week mark and my love for food has returned (maybe all too well)! The other battle I was faced with was the return of teenage acne! Luckily, this time around I am very aware of what you can and can not use during pregnancy in your skincare regime (salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, Vitamin A, Parabens) all are chemicals or ingredients that have been linked to birth defects. Thank god for Belli Skincare is all I have to say!! It has truly been a life changing experience for my skin. Belli Pregnancy is the only line in the world that Teratology Screens each ingredient to make sure they are not absorbed into your bloodstream, where they can pass into baby’s circulation. All of their products are allergy tested, free of artificial dyes, chemicals and harmful ingredients. The Acne Clearing Facial Wash uses the safest hydroxyacid to lift away dirt, oil and bacteria. You can even use it as a 5 minute mask and a spot treatment to help dry out those stubborn blemishes. Belli also makes a great sunscreen that’s safe to use during and after pregnancy to help prevent brown spots common in 70% of pregnant women. I made the mistake during my last pregnancy of basking in the sun without sunscreen. Needless to say, I ruined my skin and had major hyperpigmentation as a result. A mistake I don't plan to make twice. The sunscreen is non greasy and doesn’t break my skin out like most sunscreens.
