Complete Mother Care Guide for Pregnancy & Postpartum
A practical guide to skincare, body care, hair care, rest and comfortable maternity clothing—created to support mothers through pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Care through every stage
A simple approach to mother care
Every pregnancy and postpartum journey is different. Build a gentle routine around comfort, hydration, rest and professional guidance whenever needed.
After delivery
Prioritise rest, hydration and gentle care. Recovery differs for every mother, so follow your healthcare professional’s advice.
Everyday self-care
Small, realistic habits—cleansing, moisturising, nourishing meals and asking for support—can make daily care manageable.
Daily skincare
Keep the routine gentle
- Cleanse with a mild, suitable face cleanser.
- Moisturise after bathing and whenever skin feels dry.
- Use appropriate sun protection during daytime.
- Introduce one new product at a time.
- Check ingredients and patch-test before first use.
Body comfort
Simple body-care steps
- Choose a gentle body cleanser and lukewarm water.
- Pat the skin dry instead of rubbing.
- Apply body lotion while skin is slightly damp.
- Moisturise stretching areas with gentle movements.
- Keep feet clean, dry and comfortably moisturised.
Important: Pregnancy can change how skin responds. Stop using any product that causes irritation and ask a qualified healthcare professional about individual concerns.
Stretching-skin support
Caring for changing skin
Stretch marks are a normal part of skin stretching for many people. Moisturising can support skin comfort, but no cosmetic product should promise complete prevention or removal.
Explore Mother CareHow to apply body oil
- Follow the instructions on the product label.

- Discontinue use if sensitivity develops.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is a simple skincare routine during pregnancy?
A simple routine can include gentle cleansing, moisturising and suitable daytime sun protection. Introduce products carefully, check their ingredients and ask your healthcare professional about active ingredients or personal skin concerns.
When should I start using stretch-mark oil?
Follow the product’s instructions and ask your healthcare professional if you are unsure. Apply only to intact skin and patch-test before wider use. Oils can moisturise stretching skin but cannot guarantee prevention of stretch marks.
Can stretch marks be completely prevented?
No cosmetic product can guarantee complete prevention. Stretch marks are influenced by factors including skin changes and genetics. Regular moisturising may support comfort, but claims of complete prevention or removal should be treated cautiously.
How can I care for dry skin during pregnancy?
Use lukewarm water, a gentle cleanser and moisturise after bathing. Avoid harsh scrubbing and strongly fragranced products if your skin feels sensitive. Consult a professional if dryness becomes severe, itchy or inflamed.
Is postpartum hair fall normal?
Many people notice temporary hair shedding after pregnancy. Use gentle hair care and avoid pulling hairstyles. Speak to a qualified professional if shedding is severe, continues for a long time or occurs with other symptoms.
Can herbal hair colour be used during pregnancy?
“Herbal” does not automatically mean suitable for everyone. Read the full ingredient list, complete the required allergy test and consult your doctor before colouring hair during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Which clothes are comfortable during pregnancy?
Choose breathable fabrics, a non-restrictive fit and pieces that adapt comfortably as your body changes. Soft sleepwear and easy-access clothing may also be useful during the postpartum and nursing period.
Why is patch testing important?
Skin sensitivity can change, and even familiar ingredients may cause a reaction. A patch test helps check how a small area responds before wider application. Always follow the product’s specific test instructions.
