Treatments to Help You Feel Yourself During Pregnancy

Charlie Milz Hair & Beauty • 6 August 2023

Pregnancy can be a beautiful and transformative time in a woman's life. However, it's not uncommon for expectant mothers to experience physical and emotional changes that may leave them longing for some extra pampering and self-care. And they definitely deserve it after everything their body goes through during pregnancy!


Fortunately, there are numerous safe and rejuvenating treatments available to help you feel your best during pregnancy. We’ll explore a range of treatments, including hair treatments, beauty treatments and massages that can provide much-needed relaxation and enhance your sense of well-being while ensuring the safety of you and your baby.

Hair Treatments: Nourish and Style Your Locks

Many hair treatments are safe to enjoy during pregnancy, allowing you to maintain healthy and beautiful hair. Haircuts, trims, and styling are completely safe and sometimes all it takes is a wash and blow-dry at the salon by an expert that can help you feel a million times better.



If you're looking to enhance your hair's natural shine and manageability, consider indulging in deep conditioning treatments, bonding treatments and gentle scalp massages for the ultimate relaxation. You can obviously do these at home as often as you like, but there’s something so sumptuous about going to a salon to inject some life into your hair.

Facials: Rejuvenate Your Skin Safely

Pregnancy can bring about changes in the skin, from wavering hormones to increased sensitivity.



Opting for facials specifically tailored for expectant mothers can address these concerns while ensuring safety. Look for facials that use gentle, pregnancy-safe skincare products and techniques.


Avoid facials that use active ingredients, harsh exfoliants or chemical peels, instead opting for luxurious hydrating facials such as fruit enzyme peels, and soothing facial massages to help improve skin hydration, reduce inflammation, and promote a healthy, glowing complexion.


You can also try gua sha and lymphatic drainage massages on your face and body at home to help reduce pregnancy-swelling and stimulate the sore muscles.

Beauty Treatments: Enhance Your Natural Radiance

Various beauty treatments can help enhance your organic beauty while adhering to pregnancy safety guidelines. Consider treating yourself to eyelash lifts and tints and eyebrow lamination to naturally frame your face and taking away the need for adding make up. The chemicals used in these treatments are totally safe to use during pregnancy and the results can transform your face. Especially if you’re battling tired eyes from exhaustion.

Massages: Relax and Relieve Tension

Prenatal massages are specifically designed to address the unique needs and comfort of expectant mothers. These massages focus on relieving muscle tension, reducing swelling, and promoting overall relaxation.


Certified prenatal massage therapists use certain techniques and supportive cushions to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the session.


Prenatal massages can help alleviate common pregnancy discomforts, improve circulation, and promote a sense of tranquillity – and are one of the most luxurious treatments you can treat yourself to when your body is going through so many changes and daily aches and pains.

Manicures and Pedicures: Pamper Your Hands and Feet:

Keeping your hands and feet well-groomed and pampered is a wonderful way to indulge in self-care during pregnancy. And, let’s face it, when you get to so many weeks pregnant, you won’t be able to give yourself a pedicure, so a professional is the only option – plus it’s much more relaxing to let someone else do it!



Basic manicures and pedicures, which include trimming, shaping, and polishing, are a great way to sink into serenity, especially when the technician starts massaging your weary feed and adding deeply moisturising products.

Treat Yourself

Pregnancy is a time to embrace self-care and nurture yourself both physically and emotionally. With the right precautions and choices, there are various treatments that can help you look and feel your best while ensuring the safety of you and your baby. Whether it's indulging in hair treatments, facials, massages, or manicures/pedicures, there are plenty of options available that cater to the unique needs of expectant mothers.
