Pregnancy is a time of joy and excitement for many women, but it also brings about a range of changes to the body. While some women experience glowing skin, rosy cheeks, and shiny hair others may struggle with issues such as acne, pigmentation, eczema, and stretch marks. These skin concerns are driven by hormonal fluctuations that occur during pregnancy and throughout the postpartum period, potentially disrupting your skin's microbiome balance. During this time, it’s important to choose products carefully to ensure safety for both you and your baby.
Sásta Skin Health is here to guide you through pregnancy and postpartum-safe skin health journey. Sásta’s Microbiome Booster Serum is 100% safe for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and throughout the postpartum period. This serum is a must-have product, as it’s designed to maintain skin vitality during this unique phase of life and can help alleviate various skin concerns:
Acne: Acne flare-ups are common, especially in the first trimester due to increased hormone production and blood flow. Hormonal changes, blocked oil glands, and bacteria can all contribute to breakouts. Sásta’s microbiome booster serum is rich in probiotics and skin-soothing ingredients which helps balance the skin’s microbiome, reducing inflammation and promoting clearer skin.
Darkening of the Skin (Melasma): Melasma, also known as the “pregnancy mask,” consists of brown patches that often appear on the face. Hormonal shifts during pregnancy can trigger this condition. Prevention involves sun protection and maintaining the skin’s pH balance. Sásta’s serum helps in restoring and maintaining this balance, reducing the likelihood of pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Dry Skin and Eczema: Many women experience dry, irritated skin or eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) during the first two trimesters. Sásta’s serum is formulated to deeply hydrate and soothe sensitive skin, supporting the skin barrier and preventing flare-ups associated with eczema.
Dermatoses and Stretch Marks: Stretch marks are another common concern during pregnancy. These red or purple streaks appear most commonly on the abdomen but can also appear on the thighs, breasts, hips, and upper arms. Sásta’s serum supports the skin’s natural barrier, promoting elasticity and cell renewal to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and relieve itching.
It's important to recognize that Sasta is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to skin health. Your gut microbiome interacts with your skin through the gut-skin axis, as well as with your nervous, immune, and hormonal systems. The health of your gut microbes affects everything from skin cell renewal, hydration, repair and wound healing. Therefore, supporting your gut with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and plenty of rest is crucial for overall well-being, especially during pregnancy.
As a nutritional therapist and herbalist focused on women's health, I was very mindful of the skincare products I used during pregnancy. I needed something gentle, effective, and safe for both me and my baby. Sásta’s Microbiome Booster Serum was an obvious choice, with its prebiotic and probiotic ingredients that nourish the skin barrier, support skin health, and strengthen the immune response. It truly supports overall wellness and vibrant skin during pregnancy. - Aisling Fox, Sásta Skin Health Brand Ambassador, Nutritionist & Herbal Medicine Practicioner, AOK Nutrition
