Creating a human from scratch is truly one of the most impressive things that our bodies can do. It’s also one of the most stressful things. Not least because of the constant diligence required when it comes to forgoing yummies like soft cheeses, smoked salmon, cured meats… basically everything you’d find on our favourite kind of charcuterie board, including the accompanying spritz.
It also requires diligence about what you can indulge in topically too, with a heap of skincare options like Vitamin A and Retinol on the no-go list. Understanding that there’s enough on the minds of anyone expecting a baby, Dope Skin Co. has created a range of easy-to-navigate, pregnancy-safe skincare to make it easier to look after yourself and your bub.
Dope Skin Co. know that knowledge is power, and has created a comprehensive list of what skincare ingredients to indulge in to support your pregnancy and breastfeeding, and what to steer well clear of. From swapping chemical sunscreens to more gentle physical options, to relying on hyaluronic acid to support changing skin throughout all stages of pregnancy, and saying see you later to Hydroquinone for the duration of your pregnancy. To check out the full list, head over here.
Time is precious for everyone, but especially when you have a whole new human to plan for, so save yourself some time figuring out what combo is best for your needs with Dope’s range of ready-to-go kits.
Showcasing the benefits of hemp and the potency of Dope’s small batch, botanical-heavy products, the Antioxidant Botanicals Kit has you covered through all the steps of your daily routine—including the Antioxidant Botanical Gel Cleanser, Coco Clay Facial Scrub, Botanical Antioxidant Serum, Antioxidant Moisturiser and Acai Berry & Hemp Clay Mask.
