Through the years, Liz Uy and Laureen Uy have become big names in the line of Philippine fashion and content creation. The sisters, who have amassed followings for their respective work have continued to share their lives on social media. Among the content they share with their followers are collaborations they have, like a funny beach bag raid. At the same time, with fashion at the core, they also share Instagram Reels of their coordinated outfits.
Now, it seems that Liz and Laureen have a new topic to talk about and bond over: pregnancy and motherhood. Laureen recently shared the happy news that she is now pregnant with her first child with her husband, Miggy Cruz. Liz tied the knot with her husband, businessman Raymond Racaza in 2020 and they share two adorable little boys, Xavi and Mati.

Catching up with Laureen following the pregnancy announcement on the BYLZ launch with Lazada on November 7, she quipped that she and Liz have always been close and had that sister connection. "Just now that I'm pregnant, it's a new chapter in terms of all my questions, 'cos before it has always been about family and fashion, and like all the others but now it's a plus with mom questions."

Laureen, who is in her second trimester, shared that she is just grateful she has both her mother and sister Liz who support her in her pregnancy.
Liz's Pregnancy Tips For Laureen
Having such a style star for an older sister, Cosmo asked Laureen if Liz had any beauty or style tips she passed down to her for this pregnancy journey. Laureen quickly chirped, "Yeah! She gave me Bio Oil, the first week she found out I was pregnant. She said na it's really what saved her with all of her stretchmarks."
Apart from that, Laureen said she's generally just more careful of the products she uses now. Because not all ingredients are safe for expecting mothers. Bio Oil being among those she applies.
What is Bio Oil?
Bio Oil is a dry skin gel that has undergone safety assessment by qualified toxicologists, classified safe for use by children over three years old and pregnant and lactating women. Use of the product can address skin issues such as scars and stretch marks among others.
Because of its ingredients that can help smooth uneven skin, it has become a rather "holy grail" product for pregnant women. And it appears this includes Liz Uy and soon, maybe Laureen, too. Some experts also say that it not only helps with the scars, but it also has anti-inflammatory properties through chamomile and sunflower oils. "They calm irritation and inflammation in the skin," said board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian.
But while Bio Oil is slowly becoming a cult favorite skin care product, there are still no scientific or research-based evidence supporting any of the claims. So far, all the rave on the product comes from anecdotes from its users, like Liz.
