My Luxe-on-a-budget Pregnancy Pamper Routine
As my pregnancy progresses, I've perfected a pampering ritual that honors this special time while addressing my changing body's needs. This carefully curated collection of products has transformed my self-care routine into a luxurious escape that nurtures both my body and spirit while growing this precious little human.
Bath Routine: The Perfect Pregnancy Soak
A gentle pregnancy-safe bubble bath that creates mountains of soothing bubbles
A moisturizing bath bomb that dissolves slowly, releasing skin-nourishing oils
OSEA body wash, whose organic seaweed formula cleanses without stripping my extra-dry pregnancy skin
My secret weapon for pregnancy feet: the OSEA body scrub, which keeps my swollen feet smooth and soft when I can barely reach them!
Skincare Routine: Combating Pregnancy Skin Changes
Once I'm wrapped in my softest robe, I address my hormone-fluctuating skin with:
A hydrating sheet face mask to feel extra hydrated and pampered
An eco lips mask that combats the constant dehydration
Naturium body butter worked methodically into every inch of stretching skin
An all-over application of OSEA body oil, which seals in moisture while delivering a subtle, pregnancy-nose-approved scent
Belly Routine: The Main Event
I save the most important part for last, giving my growing bump extra attention with:
Bio oil massaged in circular motions, which has kept my skin supple and stretch-mark free through months of expansion
A repurposed collagen face mask as my final step, which I smooth over my entire belly for an intensive overnight treatment that works while I (attempt to) sleep
While pregnancy brings many challenges, these moments of intentional self-care remind me to appreciate the miracle happening within.
