With August in full swing, we thought it would be a perfect time to write a blog all about organic skincare and pregnancy. You might be wondering why that’s connected to the month of August, and we have the answer!
Did you know that August is the peak month of births in the United States?
To celebrate this joyous time for new mothers across the country, we’re chatting about pregnancy and the importance of organic skincare during this miraculous time!
Anyone who has been pregnant knows that this special time brings a multitude of changes to the body, and the skin is no exception! With fluctuating hormones, any predictability in your skin can be kissed goodbye.
Navigating a changing body can be challenging, but with the right organic skincare choices, moms-to-be can maintain healthy, glowing skin while pregnant and even post-birth!
Choose Organic Skincare During Pregnancy
At HGO, we’re no strangers to discussing the side effects of using conventional skincare products. Opting for natural beauty items is crucial for your overall health—not just for your skin but for your entire body. The skincare products you choose can significantly impact your well-being.
During pregnancy, it's especially important to be mindful of your skincare routine and its effects on your developing baby. Avoiding synthetic chemicals, fragrances, and preservatives helps ensure a healthier outcome for both you and your baby.
Honey Girl Organics' understanding couldn’t be truer when discussing pregnancy and skincare: “Skincare is Food for your Skin—if you wouldn’t eat it, why wear it?"
Protect your health and your baby's health by selecting high-quality, trustworthy, organic skincare products during pregnancy.

If you thought your skin transformed during pregnancy, just wait until after birth! Sensitive areas like the nipples and perineum need to be cared for as much as any other part of the body.

HGO’s Most Beloved Tips for Expecting Mothers
Practice Gentle Skincare
With hormones flowing and skin changing with each trimester it’s easy to get caught up in trying new products and attempting to heal your skin. However, this constant product introduction with harsh chemicals can make your evolving skin even worse. Swap out of your routine for a simple and kind-to-your-skin approach from Honey Girl Organics.
Our Extra Sensitive Gift Set has everything you need to tend to your skin throughout the many changes of pregnancy. All three products are formulated without using essential oils to tend to your extra sensitive pregnancy skin. This set comes with a full size of our Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover Extra Sensitive, sure to soothe and cleanse your face with a gentle touch. Our Facial Toner is perfect for toning the skin, preventing breakouts, and tightening pores. Finally, our cult classic Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive offers a specially formulated blend so you can enjoy the best ingredients without potential skin irritation. Keep your face moisturized with ease!
Plus, we love this set for pregnant mamas because it is free of essential oils. This helps avoid the strong fragrances that can make you feel unwell, especially during the first trimester.
Protect Your Sensitive Skin from The Sun
As we head into the dog days of summer, your skin during pregnancy is more prone to sunburn and hyperpigmentation. Opting for a mineral-based sunscreen that doesn’t absorb into the bloodstream is a safe and effective practice for protecting both you and your baby.
Our Protect Stick is here to do just that—protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays during the final stretch of summer. Our product does not come with an SPF rating, but it is highly effective in shielding your skin from the sun, wind, and other environmental factors, thanks to its rich blend of natural ingredients and 20% uncoated non-nano zinc oxide, which provides comprehensive protection and is reef safe. Regularly re-apply and shield your skin with clothing and shade for best use!
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, whether it’s your first or your fifth. Each pregnancy brings new adventures and changes to your body. Navigate skin challenges with Honey Girl Organics, where your health is our top priority. By choosing our brand, you’re selecting products that will nurture your tender skin with safe, natural ingredients.
Cheers to motherhood, and we wish all the soon-to-be moms out there all our love and well wishes!
