What you put on your skin also deserves attention

During pregnancy, it’s natural to worry about what you eat or drink. But did you know that your skin also absorbs some of the products you apply every day?

The good news is that you don't need to change all your products or live in fear. In most situations, it’s enough to make simpler, more informed choices. Whenever possible, favour products that are:

• free from strong fragrances;
• with simpler ingredient lists;
• moisturising and suitable for sensitive skin;
• and from brands that indicate they are suitable for use during pregnancy.
