Everyone says that pregnant women have that healthy, amazing glow-from-within which makes them look gorgeous no matter what they wear. We must also say that not all pregnant ladies will agree with this claim. As they experience drastic hormonal changes during pregnancy, they have mood swings which affect their mood both positively and negatively. This means that you can feel stunning one day while the next day you can feel like you’re the ugliest woman in the world. However, you don’t have to worry at all because we’re here to help you out no matter what. Here are five simple steps you should take to achieve a catwalk glow, so check them out and enjoy!

Take proper care of your skin no matter what
When you’re pregnant, the last thing you want to do is to follow an extensive 10-step skincare routine every night, right? Well, that’s exactly you should stick to the basics and start your routine with a gentle cleanser. It should be soap-free and alcohol-free in order to prevent your skin from drying out. Moisturizing is another essential step, as well as applying sun protection which is particularly important during pregnancy. The elevated hormone levels can cause the multiplication of pigment cells which can result in facial blotchiness – especially when combined with exposure to the sun, so don’t forget your sunscreen and you’ll be more than fine.

Opt for a simple yet effective hairstyle
All pregnant ladies can agree that pregnancy isn’t really the time to fuss around, which is particularly true for their hair. Due to hormonal changes in your body, your hair is highly likely to look like it belongs to someone else, which is why you should go for a simple yet effective hairstyle. For example, a wrap-around ponytail is a fantastic choice as it looks chic while keeping the unruly hairs away from your face. On the other hand, if you’ve always loved your short straight hair, pregnancy is the best time to rock it once again. It’s a low-maintenance hairstyle that doesn’t require too much time and effort, so give it a try and you’ll see what we were talking about!

Wear trendy but comfortable pregnancy outfits
When it comes to your pregnancy outfits, there’s a simple rule which says: ‘the comfier, the better’. However, it doesn’t mean that you can’t be trendy and stylish at the same time. A super-comfortable pair of ¾ length pregnancy tights can be matched with literally anything you like – from a cool oversized sweater to a cozy flannel shirt. So, don’t wait any longer and visit a pregnancy and baby expo where you can find your favorite pieces at amazing prices. Here’s a little tip: when choosing a specific garment, make sure that it can grow with you. Apart from the tights, there are also trousers with flexible elastic waist, cotton T-shirts, oversized knit, and many others you should get, too.
Go for sexy shoes which are comfy at the same time
Everyone knows that high heels are always there to boost your self-confidence and make you feel like a runway model, but you know what? These often aren’t the best choice when you’re pregnant, which is why you should find an alternative that can look very sexy as well. For example, a pair of sandals that features a small chunky heel and an ankle strap is a perfect choice for any special occasion. On the other hand, wedges will look perfect in any casual outfit. They will visually elongate your legs while being extremely comfortable, which is exactly why you should strive for during pregnancy!

Natural, neutral makeup is always a good way to go
As pregnant ladies have that gorgeous, healthy glow, they usually don’t need too much makeup to achieve an overall radiant look. Just a little bit of BB or CC cream will be more than enough to smooth out your skin and cover some minor flaws, so skip those full-coverage foundations and opt for its lightweight alternative. A touch of bronzer for a sun-kissed look and blush for a healthy flush are the next step, as these products will give your skin a perfectly natural yet stunning finish. A few coats of mascara to elongate your lashes and one coat of your favorite lipstick are the final steps. Once these are complete, you’re all done and good to go!
As you can see, there are so many amazing ways for you to achieve that gorgeous catwalk glow, and these five steps are the ones you should stick to if you want to make it happen. Of course, we must say that happy and satisfied women are those who feel most confident and powerful, and you know what? Pregnancy will give you that strength, power, and confidence you need to feel great in your skin. When that’s done, be sure to feel comfy in your clothes, too, and you’ll get that gorgeous glow that will boost your self-esteem, without a shadow of a doubt!
