Pregnancy Skin Care

Growing a new human being inside your body is legitimately amazing, but it comes with a whole new set of things to worry about.
Your baby is like a sponge for all the things you put on and inside your body, which is why it’s extremely important to know which skin care products are safe to use during pregnancy.
In addition to choosing products that are safe for your developing baby, you need to modify your skin care routine to help with common pregnancy-related skin problems.

Pregnancy glow is one thing, but sadly pregnancy can also cause skin problems like melasma and hormonal acne, but the good news is that it’s temporary!

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation characterised by brown or tan patches on the face.It’s often linked to hormonal changes, so there’s not much you can safely do to treat it during pregnancy, but in most cases it fades in the postpartum months.

Stretch marks are also a common skin concern for pregnant women. They are due to the fact that the skin stretches a lot in a short time.

When you are in the first and second trimester of your pregnancy, you may also suffer from hormonal acne. This is when your androgen levels are higher than normal. You may also notice that your skin is very dry because of your changing hormones.

“Gentle” is the word you need to remember. The best thing you can do is to use gentle products and adopt regular facials that are safe for pregnancy. Stick to plant-based ingredients and avoid electric treatments.

The ideal skincare routine for pregnancy is unique for everyone. Even if you’ve been pregnant before, your skin may react completely differently next time.

In addition, it is advisable to gently exfoliate two to three times a week with an exfoliant containing glycolic or lactic acid. This prevents surface debris from building up on the skin and causing breakouts. It also helps to alleviate dryness, which can be exacerbated by dead skin that does not allow products to penetrate properly. Also use a hyaluronic acid serum to combat dryness.

There are many common active ingredients to avoid in your skin care routine when you are pregnant. The following may be harmful to the developing fetus:

  • salicylic acid
  • Retin-A
  • retinol
  • retinyl palmitate
  • benzoyl peroxide
  • hydroquinone
  • and prescribed acne medications

In addition, professional treatments such as chemical peels with salicylic acid, Botox and laser treatments should be avoided.
