Hi Mama, we know you want to glow effortlessly during your pregnancy but let your skin be. We promise, it would snap back after your post partum stage.
In the verge to glow, some skincare ingredients can absorb into your bloodstream and potentially affect your baby. Here are skincare products you should avoid when pregnant:
1. *Retinoids (Retinol, Retin-A, Tretinoin) *
These powerful anti-aging ingredients can be harmful during pregnancy and are linked to birth defects. Opt for bakuchiol, a natural alternative!
2. *Salicylic Acid (High Concentrations)*
While low doses (like in face washes) may be safe, high-dose salicylic acid (in peels or treatments) should be avoided. Instead, try azelaic acid for acne treatment.
3. *Hydroquinone*
Used for skin-lightening and hyperpigmentation, hydroquinone has a high absorption rate. Stick to natural brightening alternatives like vitamin C.
4. *Chemical Sunscreens* (Oxybenzone, Avobenzone)
Some chemical sunscreens can disrupt hormones. Opt for mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide instead.
5. *Formaldehyde & Parabens*
Found in some nail polishes and hair treatments, formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Stick to pregnancy-safe, non-toxic beauty brands.
6. *Essential Oils (Certain Types* )
Some essential oils, like rosemary, clary sage, and tea tree oil, may cause contractions or hormone imbalances. Always check with your doctor before use!
Pro Tip: Always read ingredient labels and opt for gentle, fragrance-free, and pregnancy-safe skincare products! When in doubt, consult your dermatologist or Genealogist
