- Use soothing, hydrating, nourishing products to help your skin
- Rest as much as possible and try to get good sleep

Don’t

- Panic about your skin and start buying products that you do not need
The takeaway from this is to try to keep things as natural as possible, and to know it’s not uncommon for your skin to change during pregnancy due to hormones.
