I was never big on beauty regimen. I know, it's bad! Tsk tsk tsk... I just can't find it in me to religiously apply all those beauty products. Cleanse-Tone-Moisturize na nga lang, di ko pa magawa everyday. Good thing, my face only breaks out once in a while. And now that I'm pregnant, I thought I found the perfect excuse to continue my (or the lack thereof) regimen, i.e. just wash my face period. But no, my skin is finally protesting and is forcing me to do some action on it! Hahaha.
My face is sooo dry. To the point of peeling. So, I asked my OB and my OB friend for recommendations. They told me to use a mild moisturizer, one without fallate, retinol, hydroquinone and any whitening ingredients. My choice: Celeteque Facial Moisturizer with triple moisturizing system. It's water-based and oil-free so it's not greasy at all when you apply it. It's also easily absorbed by your skin, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic. It feels like you put nothing at all, plus it makes my face soft and supple.

I'm also using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks. It contains Vitamin E, Colagen and Elastin to help retain the natural elasticity and moisture of your skin. It is not greasy and relieves the dryness associated with stretched skin during pregnancy. I really hope it will minimize the appearance of stretch marks later on.
And because I'm such a paranoid pregnant woman, I started using baby products already. Haha. I'm now using Johnson's Baby Lotion and Baby Soap.
So far, problem solved. =)
