#1: Get ahead of stretch marks



As your skin stretches to make space for your growing little one, you might notice red or silver lines – stretch marks – popping up on your torso. Stretch marks happen when your skin’s elasticity is having trouble supporting growth. Keeping your bump moisturized can help you prevent stretch marks all together.

Belli Elasticity Belly Oil is formulated to condition your belly skin with deep hydration, preparing it for growth and stretch mark protection and prevention during pregnancy. Their expert blend of pure plant extracts uses natural, effective skincare ingredients as well as relaxing aromatherapy.

#2: Nip pregnancy pimples in the bud


As you bring a new person into the world, it can be strange to feel pubescent again with the return of pimples. Hormonal shifts during pregnancy often trigger acne or make existing acne worse. Frustratingly, some of the ingredients traditionally used to fight acne like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide aren’t recommended for use during pregnancy.

Belli Anti-Blemish Facial Wash is free of those ingredients, and uses lactic acid, an ingredient found naturally in the body, as its active ingredient instead. It leaves skin clean and clear without over-drying or irritating it, so you can finally break up with breakouts.

#3: Soften and hydrate skin



People always talk about the “pregnancy glow,” but a lot of expecting moms actually experience dry skin during pregnancy. When choosing lotion, it’s a great idea to look for products or brands that are marked as “pregnancy-safe.”

Belli All Day Moisture Body Lotion provides long-lasting nourishing moisture, and like all Belli Skincare products, is pregnancy-safe. It’s infused with chamomile to soothe and refresh skin, as well as essential lemon oil which provides uplifting aromatherapy.

#4: Try to look awake



It’s no secret that pregnancy can get in the way of a solid eight hours of sleep. Let people know you’re tired with your words, not your dark circles. Belli Eye Brightening Cream relieves tired eyes and minimizes the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.

With its combination of powerful, dynamic peptides that provide immediate results, Belli Eye Brightening Cream leaves your face looking and feeling firmer and full of youthful elasticity.

#5: Scrub super safely



Pregnancy doesn’t always feel glamorous, but a long shower can go a long way in helping you feel a little more like yourself. A gentle scrub that removes dull skin and reveals brighter, smoother skin on your bump can help you feel invigorated and super clean.

Green tea and ginseng, which are rich in antioxidants, are key ingredients in Belli Fresh Start Pre-Treatment Scrub. It can be used on your face or body to reveal more evenly-toned, smoother skin.
