Your pregnancy might not be complicated, but everything around you sure gets complicated. You can’t eat sushi, wear stilettos, get your daily dose of caffeine, pop a pill when you’ve got a nagging headache, paint your baby’s nursey… Argh, the list is endless. Let’s not even get started about the gazillion ‘free’ pieces of advice that’ll be offered when you least expect it. But the one that pricks you the most, also happens to pinch your pocket.

Hack
‘Gently’ massage it into your skin. Notice the emphasis on the word gently. And stay away from essential oils.
What: Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion
The Goods: Should you want the formula to penetrate deeply in your skin, support your skin’s natural structure and stimulate cell production, opt for lotions. Unlike oils that primarily nourish your skin’s outer barriers and prevent moisture from leaving your skin. This body lotion is enriched with Coenzyme Q10, that works overtime to tighten and firm your skin. Feel free to continue using this wonder cream even after your pregnancy. Its skincare superpowers can be put to test even after your nine months are over. Some even work it as an anti-ageing savior.
