In the spring we meet not only the sun, but also the first signs of allergies and irritations, which are especially relevant for girls in an interesting position. BeautyHack editors have selected the best products for pregnant women, girls with allergies and irritated skin.
100% natural elixir for face, body and hair Legend with sasanqua and rose essential oil Legend Elixir, Lundenilona
Tested by BeautyHack Creative Director Ksenia Wagner
It will appeal to you under three conditions: you really (very much!) Love the scent of a rose (look for other face products with flower extracts here), oily consistency and multifunctional products. The brand primarily addresses this rather fluid oil for those who care about hair - it should be applied before shampoo or at night, for 8 hours. But for the face or body, you can also use - both by itself and with other means.
My scenario is to add a couple of drops to a body cream when I want more nutrition, or a drop to a face cream half an hour before going outside for extra protection from the weather. Until the frosts slept - very handy.

Cream for body shaping Body Modeling Cream, Egia
Tested by BeautyHack Creative Director Ksenia Wagner
The first and foremost is happiness for those who hate fragrances, and no matter for whatever reasons, allergic or aesthetic (many, for example, do not want a body remedy to argue with perfume).
A thick, but not too dense consistency is also good news if you like richness without fat content. Absorbs on average in 10 minutes, leaves no film or marks on clothes (body creams that absorb quickly can be found here).
As for stretch marks, let's be realistic - this is a genetic story, and if you are inclined towards it, then no remedy will help, except that it will slightly reduce the scale of the disaster. But in any case, the remedy is good for pregnant women (nourishes well) and especially nursing ones - the baby will not be deterred by the pungent smell. Well, a handy jar with a lid.

Body oil Japanese Camelia, Elemis
Tested by BeautyHack Editor-in-Chief Karina Andreeva
In general, this remedy is recommended for pregnant women to prevent stretch marks. It contains camellia oil, which is rich in plant collagen and makes the skin more elastic. And it is hypoallergenic, which is also a big plus for safe use. It is even allowed to massage the baby with him in the first months of his life!
I first tried the oil when I lost weight (by as much as 10 kg!), And stretch marks appeared on my skin. Within a month of use, the product visually reduced the degree of their severity, and the skin became smoother and tighter.
I applied it with massaging movements after a shower in the evening before going to bed so that the oil was able to be absorbed and not stain clothes. The skin remains extra-hydrated, as almond oil has been added to help camellia oil. And it's impossible not to fall in love with the floral scent and the beautiful red bottle!

Calming agent Créme No. 2 Cachemire, Payot
Tested by BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya
Cream No. 2 is a legendary brand product created by Nadia Payo about a century ago. Its new reading - Cachemire - combines both herbal ingredients and the latest discoveries in the field of skin biology. The product was called “soothing” for a reason - it is a mix of nourishing oil and cream that instantly removes redness and gives a feeling of comfort. Contains prebiotics and probiotics that protect skin microflora, soothing frankincense oil. And the extract of jasmine flowers relieves stress (which is very important in spring!). I noticed that after a week of use, the skin began to react less to temperature changes and lack of sleep - the complexion became more even, and completely forgot about peeling.
Price: 3 100 rubles
Revitalizing face cream Ultra Sensitive SOS Cream, Lumene
Tested by BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya
Who else but the Finns know everything about sensitive skin and irritations from frost and snowstorms? That is why many people begin their acquaintance with the Lumene brand with this bestseller - a revitalizing SOS face cream. The name is not disingenuous - the product really restores the moisture balance of even very dry skin in just five minutes, which has been clinically confirmed. The product is based on the Skin Calming Technology formula, which relieves irritation once or twice, and the northern crowberry with provitamin B5.
I have combination skin, but in the mid-season it is often dehydrated, so the dense texture and instant hydration came in handy.
I also liked the aroma of the product: the classic smell of a cream from childhood, with which you immediately feel protected. But the main plus is the absence of a greasy film on the face. The texture is dense, but the product is quickly absorbed, leaving behind only a feeling of comfort and hydrated skin (the best hand creams according to the editors of BeautyHack can be found here).
Price: about 1,000 rubles
Calming agent, relieves stress and redness Crème N ° 2 Nuage, Payot
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
I have very delicate skin that reacts immediately to irritation and stress. When I completely despaired of getting rid of redness and dryness during the onset of spring, this wonderful cream fell into my hands. The first thing that impressed me was the weightless texture that does not create additional friction (those who have severe irritations and who feel painful to apply even a thick cream will understand me). The product moisturizes and soothes the skin very well, simultaneously restoring the balance of microflora, which is noticeable after a week of use.
In general, in the off-season periods, the cream will be useful for girls with normal skin type (it will help restore its balance) and with an oily skin type (suitable as a prevention of dryness and moisturizing - this type is especially needed). And girls in an interesting position - even more so, because the skin has an additional source of happy stress! Here we wrote in more detail about the remedies that can be used during pregnancy.

The soothing multi-repair balm Cicaplast B5 balsam, La R oche P osay
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
I really love universal remedies, and this balm is a real lifesaver, especially for mothers. With it, you can save the skin from stress and irritation, moisturize dry areas, heal wounds and scratches. In addition, it has antibacterial properties and can be used for babies from infancy (for example, as a diaper cream).
The product has a soft texture, it does not leave greasy and sticky marks - you can quickly go on business, and the baby will not be capricious after applying the product. I put the balm in my cosmetic bag. I am sure it will help me out in the summer, when burns inevitably appear from the sun.
Price: about 700 rubles
Cream for the prevention of stretch marks, Mustela
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anastasia Lyagushkina
During pregnancy, I approach the choice of cosmetics very carefully. The formulation must be free of parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, bisphenols A and S, caffeine and alcohol. I also draw attention to the fact that it is hypoallergenic - in such a situation it is better not to risk it.
All brand products fully meet my requirements, but, first of all, I paid attention to the cream for stretch marks, because my skin is prone to them (although I have never significantly gained or lost weight).
The product has a thick consistency, and the aroma is light and pleasant, reminiscent of baby powder. I apply it to the abdomen and thighs after a shower. It is absorbed very quickly, and the skin becomes smooth and velvety. Bonus - it gives it elasticity and moisture. I cross my fingers to prevent stretch marks!
Price: about 2,000 rubles
Moisturizing mask Super Moist Mask, Soskin
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
The manufacturer recommends applying this mask to dehydrated, sensitive, irritated skin. This is approximately how my face feels at the end of winter, which coincided with a lot of flights and movements.
After another trip, a sharp change in climate, water, several flights and a return to the cold, the skin began to give sos signals: small rashes and dryness appeared. And I began to use the mask more actively - three times a week. It is hypoallergenic, suitable for problem skin (the French brand Soskin is famous for these products). All brand products are created using the technology of encapsulating extracts - so all components penetrate deeper into the dermis.
In the case of this remedy, jojoba, avocado, wheat germ, panthenol oils are actively working - they are responsible for hypermoistening and restoring the hydrolipid balance. Urea in the composition is an excellent conductor of the above components. If you have redness, dryness and breakouts, this remedy is simply indicated for use. And if you are lucky and spring rehabilitation goes without any problems, then this tool is great for removing signs of fatigue on the skin (after all, everyone has them).
Price: 2 600 rub
Serum for firming bust, Mustela
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anastasia Lyagushkina
The first and tangible advantage of this product is its compact packaging: the serum will fit even in the smallest bag (I feel that very soon I will always be on the run!). The serum has a pleasant peach shade and a slight sweet scent. The consistency is similar to a gel, but it does not cool the skin and is very pleasant to use.
When applied, I feel a little sticky, but the product is quickly absorbed. With regular use, the skin becomes more toned, and the result is noticeable immediately - after a week of use. What is important, the product has an absolutely "pure" composition, I will be happy to use the serum during lactation to keep the skin "in shape".
Price: 2 124 rub
Intensive soothing care for hypersensitive and allergic skin Toleriane Ultra Fluide, La Roche-Posay
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
The product is unique - it will help soothe irritated skin of combination and oily type. It has a light fluid texture and is free of parabens, preservatives and fragrances. The composition of neurosensin soothes the skin, while shea butter and squalene restore the hydrolipid mantle.
The product is absorbed in 5-10 minutes, forming a protective film on the face. But it does not cause discomfort, but gives the feeling that the skin is protected from all negative environmental factors. After use, I see a light satin shine on my face: I think that it will be heavy for oily skin. But the fluid will easily save irritated and damaged skin - after three uses you see the result: redness disappears and the skin becomes smoother.
I found another way to use it - I used it after cleansing my face as a sos-means. The treatment perfectly restored my skin, eliminating the centers of redness and irritation. I will use it after other cosmetic procedures!
Price: 1 560 rub
Soothing and moisturizing cream Remedy Cream, [comfort z one]
Tested by editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
Remedy is a new line of the brand's products designed specifically for sensitive skin. But many girls with a normal, combined or oily type are faced with redness, flaking, itching and tightness. This cream can handle everything!
The composition contains a natural prebiotic that stabilizes the skin ecosystem during stress or exposure to external aggressive factors (such moments happen to us every day, and it is they who provoke all the troubles on the face!). Herbal extracts of mirabilis and Mexican hyssop will soothe the skin, while marula oil will strengthen its protective barrier.
What is valuable is that the cream has no smell, and the tube is made with a very convenient dispenser that allows you to squeeze out as much of the product as you need.
When applied, the cream seems to be dense, but after a few seconds it is absorbed, leaving behind a smooth and very soft skin. I apply the product in the morning, and there is enough moisture until the evening. I noticed that the product additionally fights against oily sheen (it sometimes appears for me during the day) and does not clog pores.
Price: about 4,000 rubles
Soothing hand and body lotion "Lavender", Ausganica
Tested by special correspondent BeautyHack Daria Mironova
I am a fan of natural cosmetics, so I liked the product right away: it contains more than 90% certified organic ingredients. In addition to excellent hydration, which lasts for a long time, I noticed another big plus - the bright scent of lavender - a natural antistress (we wrote about other products with lavender here).
For one application of the lotion, you get a double dose of relaxation - soothes the skin and nerves. The composition of the product is also aimed at protecting the skin: it contains the juice of aloe leaves, calendula extract, chamomile, incense and argan oils.
Price: 2 050 rub
Breast oil during lactation, Weleda
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anastasia Lyagushkina
I liked the product for three reasons. The first is the natural composition, which is especially important during lactation. The second is the properties of the product: it additionally stimulates the formation and outflow of milk, delicately preparing the breast for feeding (and this is a special stress for this delicate area). Third, it takes care of the condition of the skin, nourishing and moisturizing it, for which fennel and cumin oils are responsible. From time to time I do a light massage with this oil. I noticed that the breasts became more elastic, and almond oil relaxes the muscles, which greatly facilitates the process of lactation and gives the skin elasticity.
Price: 950 rub
Modeling, nourishing body cream Synergie Massage, Salin De Biosel
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
Salin De Biosel is a professional cosmetics brand preferred by many spas and hotels around the world. Synergie Massage nourishing cream is my first acquaintance with a brand that relies on natural formulations (over 100 herbal extracts) and innovative exclusive complexes (over 20).
I am not allergic, but at the beginning of spring, dehydrated skin requires a special attitude towards itself (to "you" and in a whisper) - once you ignore the moisturizing, it immediately sends "hello" to peeling and red spots. Despite the fact that the basic function of Synergie Massage is to restore elasticity, the cream coped with nutrition by 100 points. The product has an excellent composition - it contains everything you need to restore and moisturize: burdock root extract, aloe, pineapple peel, mango oil, cocoa, jojoba.
The cream with a light texture is well absorbed and has a thermoregulatory effect (you heard right): it cools the inflamed areas of the skin, relieving the burning sensation, and has a warming effect on cold ones. Synergie Massage has a pronounced lymphatic drainage effect - after a week of use, the skin becomes smoother, smoother and more elastic.
