Pampering tips for pregnant women

[daphneosena]

.

Ria Francisco-Prieto of the Philippine Daily Inquirer asked me to share some tips on how to pamper yourself while pregnant. I would have included tips on fashion and health but her section focuses on beauty. So it got me thinking, what do I really do to feel pampered? The answers are here.

facials

Hi Daph, do you still go to Dr. Yang? does he still have that HUGE portrait of his wife in his office? LOL nagulat ako when I went in and saw it. as in BULAGA. PORTRAIT. I went to see him a few times in the nineties to deal with an allergic reaction on my legs but he kept talking about zapping my face to get rid of the freckles. I'm thinking now that maybe he just specializes in cosmetic derma. meanwhile the derma who treated my legs advised against touching my freckles!

Doctors & dermas

its not ethical for me to endorse doctors. people should choose doctors based on their own criteria. i have my own. ive been going to dr yang for almost 8 year. and one of them is the dermatologist must be accredited/certified by philippine dermatological society. He's not a cosmetic derma. I dont do anything to major to my face- no lasers or peels. Just monthly cleaning.

he's a good derma. my friend recommended him and she has flawless skin thanks to him. Originally, I wanted my leg looked at (touched something I was allergic to) but had a cleaning instead. It went well naman. I was too scared to get anythinhg done to my skin so went for the cleaning instead. I felt younger after. it was a good experience.

pedicures

i had to get regular pedicures when I was pregnant because I ate a lot and got so huge, I couldn't reach my toes :)i wish you already had a blog then, I would have followed tons of your advice re: pregnancy. The doctor did tell me not to eat so much but I'm not one to listen to doctors :P bad, i know.
