SKINCARE DURING PREGNANCY

During pregnancy, your skin can change and behave differently than what you're used to. It may become drier, more sensitive or uneven in tone. Some people even experience acne for the first time in their lives.

With products from MARIA ÅKERBERG – free from synthetic additives and hormone-disrupting substances – you can meet your skin’s new needs without compromising the safety of you or your baby. Here, we guide you through a safe skincare routine with carefully selected products for pregnancy and breastfeeding, based on natural and organic ingredients.

Naturally nourishing as your bump grows

Lovely Mother – a softening body and massage oil that helps retain moisture and improves skin elasticity. It supports the skin through physical changes and may help prevent stretch marks during pregnancy.

Shea Balm – a rich balm that protects against dryness, friction and cold. Perfect for dry areas and for providing extra care to the growing belly.

For dry and sore nipples

Use  Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil daily – a natural, softening and flavourless oil that does not need to be wiped off before breastfeeding.

Relief for swollen legs and feet

Swollen calves, tired feet and heavy legs are common during pregnancy – especially towards the end of the day. Calming Gel provides a soothing, cooling effect and relief for hot, aching legs. It contains Peppermint Oil for a refreshing feel, and cold-pressed Sunflower, Rapeseed and Jojoba Oils to soften the skin.

Gentle and natural intimate care

Lovely Mother can also be used on the external intimate area to soften the skin and reduce the risk of tearing before childbirth. Apply morning and evening in the final months of pregnancy.

After childbirth, Royal Body Oil is ideal as an intimate oil. It contains antioxidant-rich Sea Buckthorn Oil, which softens and protects dry mucous membranes.

We also recommend our gentle intimate cleanser, Intimate Foaming Wash, which cleanses without drying out or irritating sensitive areas.

Sun protection during pregnancy

Daily sun protection is important to help prevent hyperpigmentation (melasma).

Protecting Lotion Outdoor is a nourishing day cream with a mineral-based UV filter (Titanium Dioxide), perfect for everyday use.

For intense sun exposure, we recommend our 100% physical sun protection – completely free from chemical filters and synthetic additives. They provide reliable protection immediately upon application.

For hormonal acne

Many pregnant women experience breakouts and unbalanced skin due to increased progesterone levels, which stimulate sebum production and can clog pores. Choose a gentle exfoliator, such as our AHA & Jojoba Peeling, which refines the skin without disrupting its natural balance.

Help your skin recover post-pregnancy

After giving birth, your skin may need extra support to regain firmness and radiance. We recommend our effective duo: Royal Body Oil and Royal Body Cream – a combination that smooths and firms the skin.

Starter set for your newborn

Give your baby the very best start with Baby Gift Set. It includes all the essentials: gentle cleanser, softening oil, moisturising lotion, protective balm and washcloths – all in one beautiful set, made with natural and organic ingredients.

Keep in mind

All products from MARIA ÅKERBERG are safe to use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

However, we recommend limiting daily use of products containing a high concentration of potent essential oils, as skin can be more reactive during this time. Use these sparingly:

– Body Lotion Athletic

– Body & Massage Oil Anti-Cellulite
