Belli: Safe Skin Care for Pregnant and Nursing Women

We all know how important it is to keep a close eye on the things we consume and use on our skin during pregnancy, and even after childbirth if you’re nursing a baby.  From foods, drinks, medicines, and chemicals you may be exposed to on a daily basis, I know you gave a lot of thought to them before you used them.

One thing that might be easy to overlook:  skin care products.  The skin is a natural barrier to many substances, but some skin care items contain topical ingredients that can be absorbed into the bloodstream, which could then be carried through breast milk.  Yikes.

Thankfully, some skin care companies want to look out for nursing mothers, and Belli is one of them.

Belli Skin Care is an OB/GYN and dermatologist-recommended maker of products for acne, stretch marks, and more.  Belli is very picky about the ingredients they include in their products, and they even screen all of their products through LACTMED, part of the National Library of Medicine’s Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET), specifically focused on drugs and other chemicals that could affect breastfeeding women and nursing babies.

It’s always important to me that the products I use are as safe as possible, so I love the Belli products.  Here’s a look at my current line-up of skin products:

Belli Anti-Blemish Facial Wash

This is a pure face wash that leaves my skin feeling clear without over-drying (and that can be tricky in winter, when my skin is dry anyway).  It contains natural cleansers and exfoliants, like lemon peel oil, green tea extract, and cucumber.  I love that this cleanser is totally free of salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and benzoyl peroxide, which are in pretty much any acne product you’ll find at the store.  It’s also free of parabens, artificial dyes, and fragrances.

Belli Acne Control Spot Treatment

This treatment reduces the severity of blemishes.  It features colloidal sulfur, tea tree oil, and chamomile, and it penetrates pores to help get existing blemishes under control and prevent future ones from happening.  Like the facial wash, it’s totally free of salicylic acid, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, parabens, artificial dyes, and fragrances.  Honestly, I just love typing that. It makes me feel good inside.

Belli Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator

This is a moisturizer that can be used at morning and at night, and features an antioxidant boost of Vitamin C and grape seed oil for radiant, healthy skin.  It’s lightweight and perfect for all skin types.  I really love this moisturizer as a final touch in my skin care routine, and it’s proven to be especially hydrating against my dry winter skin.

Those are only three of Belli’s items, but there are plenty more to choose from.  Belli’s natural approach to skin care makes it perfect for anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or cares what they expose their bodies too.  To try them for yourself, or grab them for a baby shower or new mommy gift.  Visit BelliSkinCare.com to learn more about the other items in Belli’s line of luxurious and safe skin care products.
