I don’t know about you, but when I was pregnant with my first child at the very beginning of the pandemic, my beauty routine fell by the wayside. My main concern was keeping myself healthy so as to keep my baby safe from COVID-19. Not to mention, because I wasn’t going anywhere (aside from an occasional walk to keep myself from going stir-crazy), I didn’t do much in regards to pampering myself. I washed my hair, but I no longer put on makeup, barely applied lotion, and if you could have seen my toenails? Whoa.

Something else that suffered during that time was my skin. As mentioned, I didn’t really apply anything to it. Because of that, by the end of my pregnancy, when I was huge and uncomfortable, my skin from top to bottom felt terrible. Who gets a pregnancy glow? Not this girl. Some of that inaction to remedy this on my part was because of a lack of places to be, but it was also because I was paranoid about so many skincare products. Attempting to curb my hormonal acne flare-up proved fruitless, especially since the stronger products I needed were a no-no during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. As for the skin on the rest of my body, it felt scaly. I wish during that time that I’d known more about Evereden products.

The brand, which just recently turned two, is a plant-based option providing luxury skincare for pregnant women, babies, and really, the entire family. Despite the pandemic, they were able to launch new products and continue to grow. But here are five of their essentials that expectant moms need to have in their arsenal so that they can ensure they’re pampering themselves in a way that I certainly wasn’t. You deserve it, mama!

Nourishing Stretch Mark Cream $45

Safe for sensitive skin, the brand’s Nourishing Stretch Mark Cream soothes and relieves itchiness, which is a common feeling pregnant women deal with as their bellies expand. Add in the fact that the weather is now chilly and dry, and that bump is likely parched. It’s also great though for those who are experiencing weight changes. The pro tip for this is if you’d like to feel a little more glamorous than you usually do from the day to day, mix it with a dollop of your favorite highlight product to give your skin a beautiful glow. The cream not only is nourishing but also reduces the appearance of your stretch marks with the help of a long list of natural ingredients.

Lifting and Firming Lotion $42

With the assistance of 10 superfoods, the brand’s Lifting and Firming Lotion packs quite the punch as an anti-aging and skin-firming product. Collagen production is boosted and leaves the skin feeling smoother, stronger and refreshed. It also has some of your favorite natural ingredients in it, including castor oil, mango butter, avocado oil, and especially important, coffee bean extract. The pro tip for this lotion is to place it in the fridge to create an extra cooling and tightening effect for areas that need a wake-up call. Because caffeine is an ingredient, you can comfortably leave it in the fridge for as long as you would like to help it work as effectively as possible.

Golden Belly Serum $32

If you use serum for your face, you should know there’s also one for other parts of your body. The Golden Belly Serum from the brand is all about repair, helping your skin to improve its elasticity and get its glow back. It’s made from 13 nutrient-rich botanical actives, including oils like marula, rosehip, and the herb centellla asiatica. A pro-tip brand experts shared with us is that you can actually swap out your usual facial serum for this product. Of, if you would like more nourishment, give yourself an extra dose of dew by mixing the serum with your go-to moisturizer.

This product from the brand has a five-star rating on its site with more than 50 reviews, so you know it means business. And not only is it a great product for the aggravated skin on a baby’s face, helping to strengthen the skin barrier, but it can also do wonders for your skin, too. The deeply hydrating cream is made with superfood oils including jojoba, sunflower and grapeseed. The pro tip offered for this favorite fragrance-free product is to try it as a great basefor  under your makeup. Get some nourishment for yourself and your little one.

Soothing Baby Massage Oil $24

If your baby has irritation and rashes on their skin, the Soothing Baby Massage Oil, yet another five-star product from the brand, is recommended in replacement of strong hydrocortisone creams and steroids. It relies on soothing natural ingredients, including sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and grapeseed oil. Superfoods to the rescue! A pro tip for grownups with super dry skin, the oil can be applied to callused feet during these cold-weather months to smooth and nourish them. It’s a natural and organic product that those behind it say is even safe enough to eat. I wouldn’t recommend all that, though.
