Wash less: Every time we wash our skin, we strip it of essential oils that are secreted to protect our skin. Definitely switch your facial wash and even consider washing less. Use a moisturizer as well.

Moisturizer: The hormones of pregnancy can make skin care more challenging but no special changes are needed. Just use a good face wash and a moisturizer.
