"During pregnancy, women become hyper-aware of everything they put into their bodies. So it's no wonder you hear so many stories about women going from fast food junkies to Whole Foods lovers in a matter of weeks. Pregnant women are used to the warnings from their OBs about what to eat and what not to eat, but surprisingly, no one informs these women what skin creams to use and white lotions could be potential life threatening to their unborn child. There are several chemical ingredients in the average beauty product that are normally safe and perfectly fine for consumption, but during pregnancy can cause fatal birth defects. But pregnancy doesn't have to be a nine-month ban on your established skincare routine! All you need to do is some extra ingredient scouting, but who has the time to carefully read every single chemical ingredient on the back of their lotion bottle? This is exactly where beauty editor Melissa Schweiger and founder of Belli beauty products, Annette Rubin, come in with the help of their book, Belli Beautiful. Melissa and Annette explore what beauty products to ditch during your pregnancy and which to love. This is a beauty guide written for mothers by mothers. Packed full of practical and valuable information every mother-to-be needs to know in order to care for her baby during the first year, while still looking as fabulous as ever"--
