One of my fears when I learned I was pregnant was having to deal with stretch marks in the latter part of my pregnancy. It is a shallow thing to consider and I now have mixed emotions about it. I am sort of happy to say that I don't have stretch marks in my growing tummy yet but surprisingly I am a little bit sad that I don't have some sort of a battle scar to show my kids in the future or just a reminder for myself that I have gone through the ups and downs of pregnancy and come out stronger.
Such that it was only stretch marks that I was most concerned about, I kind of ditched my skin care ritual altogether. I don't know, I just didn't feel like putting on anything on face not even moisturiser - big mistake! I also avoided putting on make-up consciously and with much gusto. I just wasn't in the mood for those.
Surprisingly, my skin cleared up - zero pimples! I think my skin is very thankful that it was able to rest from all the chemicals that I slather especially on my face. I started easing through introducing products backs to my cleansing and skin care regimen on my second trimester and I have the following to thank for. My skin is still glowing and yes still no stretch marks.
