Did you know that not all lipsticks are safe for use during pregnancy? If you’re a huge fan of lipsticks, getting yourself a pregnancy safe lipstick should be your priority!
It is essential for you to know that not all beauty and make-up products are safe for both you and your baby.
Even products that you use daily may not be ideal for use during pregnancy as many lipstick brands contain toxic dyes, heavy metals and harmful preservatives which could be harmful to the baby.
Therefore, it is of paramount importance for mothers to choose the best and safest lipsticks for everyday use. Here are several verifiable lipsticks that you can choose from.
How to Choose the Best Pregnancy Safe Lipstick
The increased or decreased hormone levels during pregnancy, after childbirth or even during breastfeeding, require time to return to normal levels.
This means that mothers not only need to eat healthily, they also need to be conscious of the beauty products they use during pregnancy and when breastfeeding.
When buying lipsticks during pregnancy, you should ensure that they do not contain artificial colours, artificial fragrances and toxic and unsafe substances such as alcohol, lead and so on.
Additionally, you should also choose a comfortable lipstick that moisturises your lips and check that they have natural ingredients that are compatible with your lips.
