“The Glow”
Is anyone
telling you that you have “The Glow?”
Well, indeed you do. In general,
it is a wonderful aspect of pregnancy and it feels good to hear that you have
the glow, when in fact you may feel like you look your worst. No true.
You look pregnant and there is actually a real truth to ‘The Glow.” Part of the physiology of pregnancy is your
body’s significant increase in blood flow and hormone production. The increased blood flow results in more
nourishment to your skin. The increase
in your hormones contributes to greater levels of natural oils. Together, the additional blood and oil
contributes to a smoother and more radiant appearance of your skin, so you are
not only ‘glowing’ because of the joy of pregnancy, but also because pregnancy
itself gives you a natural and beautiful glow.
The one downside to the glow is that in some women, the increase in skin
oil also results in more acne, so if you are one of those women, at least try to
think of it as…”glowing acne?” Remember that it is only a temporary change in
your skin, so definitely do not fret.
