Skincare has emerged as a trending topic on social media in recent years. With a wide array of options and ingredients to choose from for your skin, one can often get lost as to what is really right for them. This confusion only increases when one conceives. Many dermatologists suggest that some ingredients or products are not at all like retinol during pregnancy.
So given the plethora of skin care options one has to choose from during pregnancy? During pregnancy, a woman’s body is exposed to an infection that can affect their skin. Speaking to InStyle magazine, Dr. Renee A. Beach, a dermatologist and assistant professor based out of Toronto, said that many women often experience acne on their face that was not present before pregnancy. However, she cautioned that to treat the condition, commonly used acne ingredients should be avoided while pregnant. Beach recommends that pregnant women protect their skin and use a zinc oxide-based sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and iron oxide to help prevent any skin or pigmentation concerns .
Pregnant women can also combine sunscreen with a vitamin C serum. Following a basic skincare routine is essential because a little goes a long way. Known as the “holy grail” for pregnant women, Bio Oil can also be included in your skincare routine as it helps nourish the skin.
According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG), women who are experiencing breakouts during pregnancy can use products such as glycolic and azelaic acids in addition to topical benzoyl peroxide and topical salicylic acid applications.
One can add antioxidant rich ingredients like Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B3, Green tea to their skincare regime. According to Healthline, pregnant women can incorporate moisturizing products that also contain coconut oil, cocoa butter, peptides and hyaluronic acid.
