Pregnancy & Skincare
I found this great article which actually explains why you shouldn't use certain skincare products during pregnancy. We all hear about various moisturisers that should be avoided during pregnancy but very little info is ever shared about *why*.
I am SO glad to see this. I have used Belli since my first pregnancy.
I have to add, however, that my pediatrician warned me AGAINST Aveeno products, so I'm a bit shocked that they would mention them as "safe". They contain ingredients like lavender and parabens-which are xenoestrogens.
Looks like Belli is the clear winner in baby skin care too-I'm proud to say I've been using them for years.
