FAQ: Itchy Skin During Pregnancy Especially At Night
When you’re pregnant, getting enough sleep is critical to your health and wellbeing. Itchy skin during pregnancy especially at night can really interfere with your sleep patterns. Especially when itchy skin is in hard to reach places, like your back. When you’re pregnant, your skin stretches, which causes dryness and itch. That is why the itching is more common over tightly stretched areas of skin, such as the abdomen, in the later trimesters.
Itchy skin during pregnancy especially at night when coupled with body changes and restless leg syndrome - both common discomforts when you’re expecting a baby – can cause a pregnant woman to toss and turn and lose valuable sleep.
There are certain skincare preparations that you can take to prevent and/or relieve itchy skin from pregnancy prior to bedtime to help you rest through the night:
- Drink lots of water to keep your skin as hydrated as possible
- Shower or bathe in tepid water; ensure it is not too hot which is drying to the skin
- Exfoliate the skin a couple times a week
- Moisturize extremely dry areas using a safe belly oil and confirm that it does not contain aloe vera, which is a potentially harmful skincare ingredient during pregnancy
- Moisturize in general with a safe pregnancy moisturizer
Belli skincare offers the ideal, safest solutions to relieve the irritation of dry, itchy skin during pregnancy especially at night. Belli is the only line in the world that teratology screens each ingredient to help you guard against chemicals linked to birth defects in published research.
For incredibly itchy pregnancy skin, try blending Belli’s Elasticity Belli Oil and Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator together in your hand. Massage all over dry, itchy skin and rinse thoroughly. Skin will feel unbelievably smooth and moisturized.
Then twice weekly before bed, use Belli’s Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator to remove the dry, dead skin cells and expose the fresh skin beneath. Each time you shower, use Belli’s Pampered Pregnancy Body Wash, which gently cleans and hydrates without stripping your skin of its natural oils. After getting out of the shower, be sure to apply Belli’s All Day Moisture Body Lotion, which helps lock in your skin's natural moisture.
