Skincare + Makeup during pregnancy!
/So I was pretty much clueless when it came to what was safe and what wasn’t. To be honest, I went to my first pre-natal appointment and the doctor commented on how tanned I was during quarantine LOL. I explained I used self-tanner. He replied politely by just encouraging me to check everything I was using on my skin to make sure it was pregnancy safe.
When I did a little research, a lot of my face cleansers and cremes included
RETIN-A, RETINOL AND RETINYL PALMITATE & SALICYLIC ACIDS.
So I went on the hunt for a few new SAFE products to use during pregnancy & thought I’d share!
EGYPTIAN MAGIC
I LOVE Egyptian Magic. It’s a great all purpose moisturizing creme that you can use on your face, body, even hair and nails! Since it arrived on the market in 1991, Egyptian Magic has, indeed, been working its magic. From repairing dry skin and soothing scars to taming frizz and hydrating parched lips, the multitasking wonder balm does it all—and we’re not the only ones awestruck by its healing powers. This is a staple on Fashion Week Runways for models. It’s reviewed and raved about globally and GUESS WHAT! You can shop this all natural product that perfects and hydrates your skin LOCAL at Thatch & Fringe!

2. CHARLOTTE TILBURY MAGIC FOUNDATION
I haven’t tried this product YET but I plan to order it today! I’ll give you a review over on my Instagram @ash.webber when I receive it! But from the reviews I’ve read and previous experience with other Charlotte products… I think I’m going to LOVE it. I wanted something that had that illuminating dewy finish, so if you’re looking for matte, this one may not be for you! Charlotte worked with laboratories for five years to create this formula that gives full coverage but feels completely weightless, with all the anti-aging and protective benefits of a luxury skin cream. The foundation conceals imperfections, glides on like a dream and literally feels like a second skin. Whether your skin needs just a bit of perfecting or you struggle with a frustrating issue like acne, melasma or rosacea, this foundation will give you perfect-looking skin every single day. A concentrated mushroom extract improves firmness, tightens pores and moisturizes; hyaluronic acid-filling spheres reverse wrinkle grooves to retexture the skin within one hour; and supercharged vitamin C gives you a lit-from-within effect. It's also great for those with acne scarring, mature skin and normal to tired, dull skin.

3. NARS LAGUNA LIQUID BRONZER
This is another NEW product for me, but I’ll again, give you a FULL review when I receive it. But I was looking for a safe product to use either mixed with just my moisturizer or overtop my foundation for that dewy bronzed, sun kissed look! “Sheer and ultra-versatile, this weightless innovation contours, bronzes, and blends effortlessly. Create any effect under the sun by wearing bare or mixing with makeup for an allover, healthy-looking glow.” I’m hoping to achieve this with the well reviewed highly recommended NARS product! Stay tuned @ash.webber for the full review!

4. LUNA BRONZE!
LUNA BRONZE is one of my absolute favs and GO TO’S for all over body tan. And this is what my doctor commented on ;)! I am happy to announce it’s SAFE to use during pregnancy and you can shop it LOCALLY in many different intensities at Thatch & Fringe! “Skin care meets self tanning. Luna Bronze believes in a clean, natural glow should be simple, skin-loving, and sunless. No fussy applications. No tiger stripes. No chemical smells. Oh. And the best bit? Swirled in an elixir of enriching essential oils, naturally-derived EcoCert® DHA and high-grade ingredients, we just know your skin will love it too.”

5. CHARLOTTE TILBURY SUPERMODEL BODY
So last but not least, I wanted a pregnancy safe product that would give my body a little glow as we move into summer! This highlighter looks amazing! You can use on arms, legs, chest area & cheek bones for that extra bronzed look. (I”m obviously all about the bronze LOL).
”My Supermodel Body is a dreamy, hydrating body shimmer for glossy-skinned perfection in minutes! I have decoded my ‘celebrity limb’ trick and poured all of my makeup artist secrets into this genius formula! It catches the light down the centre of your limbs for a luminous glow and is the secret to heavenly, sun-kissed, post-holiday skin!”
