JESSIE FLORES: Hello, my name is Jessica. I'm a licensed esthetician for the last two years. I'm here to talk to you today about how to prepare your skin during and before pregnancy. The most important thing is hydration. You need to be able to keep the moisture in to your skin on your face and to also be drinking plenty of water. You can use organic oils and coco butter at least twice daily on your stomach, and I would even suggest your legs because those can also have stretch marks. So when you apply it, make sure that you turn on around and massage the oils in. Another way to help prepare for the pregnancy is to make sure that you have a balanced diet. You need to be eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, and to make sure that you have that fiber in your diet also. And of course always, always take your prenatal vitamins as the doctor prescribes. Those are the most important things to get the nutrients to yourself and the baby. Most women, some women, they also get the prenatal acne. It is very important to do your cleansing steps of cleanse, tone and moisturize. Always remember your toner that is bringing the pH back to the skin. You can also see your local skin care technician if you are having the pustular breakouts, and then she could go on to advise you what you should do with that. Also you can to help to prevent any infection, a yeast infection or anything underneath the breast, you can apply baby powder there. And to keep the moisture from there, always keep your body dry. And last and always, hydration, hydration, hydration. Water is the most important thing for the body.
