Review: Mama Mio Gorgeous Glow for feeling great during pregnancy

‘How did she do it?’

In the last few weeks I was pregnant it was incredibly easy to get talking to strangers in the street and in cafes, with many guessing I was expecting a boy and others asking how long I had to go. It meant I constantly found myself having conversations with friendly people about important everyday topics–including the Duchess of Cambridge’s last pregnancy.

London mums are clearly impressed with how she managed to look stunning throughout her pregnancy and even in pictures hours after giving birth. I’m also in awe since she like me had baby number 2, and in my view, there’s simply less time to think about looking after yourself the second time around.

That’s why I was very excited to receive a sample of the soap and SLS-free Mama Mio Gorgeous Glow Facial Wash (£23) when I hit the third trimester and was really in need of a lift-me-up. I had bought the full range of Mama Mio pregnancy-friendly products when I was pregnant with Baby Girl, but this time around I hadn’t paid much attention to skincare and my skin was getting incredibly dry, sometimes even with dry patches on the face.

After I received the sample, I managed to use Mama Mio Gorgeous Glow every day and I felt it helped my skin feel moisturised and soft. I didn’t develop any more dry patches, and even though it was just this one thing I managed to do and I often left the house without any make-up, it seemed like having a pregnancy-friendly and nourishing face wash made a clear difference.

Sometimes it’s worth trying to spend an extra 30 seconds to feel great–even during pregnancy!
