For just about any woman, caring for the skin is part of the daily routine. However, it becomes all the more important when you are pregnant. A number of skin problems, such as stretch marks, acne, dryness and rashes, tend to possible develop during pregnancy because of hormonal changes and you certainly would want to prevent these things from taking place as much as possible.

Thankfully, there are products that help prevent and resolve these problems. Following is a rundown of skin care products that you absolutely must have if you are pregnant.

For stretch marks, a recommended product to use is the Basq stretch mark cream. This revolutionary cream contains Darutoside and Algisium C, which are clinically proven to have skin strengthening properties, Shea butter, jojoba butter, and several oils. The Basq stretch mark cream is hypoallergenic, and it’s not likely to irritate the skin, either.
