Your Guide to a Pregnancy-Safe Skincare Routine with AlumierMD

Pregnancy Safe Products from AlumierMD

There is nothing more exciting than seeing those two pink lines pop up when you take a pregnancy test. When you find out you’re pregnant, your entire world feels brand new again. And when that test is positive, you start making a mental list of all the “dos” and “don’ts” that being pregnant requires. When you’re expecting, you’ll most likely need to make some lifestyle changes. Surprisingly, that includes changes in your skincare routine. So what does it take to maximize that new-mama glow and make sure your skincare is baby-friendly.

When you’re pregnant, your entire body changes – and that includes your skin. You may notice these common changes no matter what condition your skin is in right now:

• Acne

• Melasma/hyperpigmentation

• Dry skin

• Stretch marks

And if you have other skin issues, you might find that they mysteriously disappear or are worsened during pregnancy. If you’re concerned about any of these changes, it is essential to discuss them with a doctor.

Skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy and while breastfeeding:

• Hydroquinone

• Retinoids:
  Retinoic acid
  Retinyl palmitate
  Retinaldehyde
  Adapalene
  Tretinoin
  Tazarotene
  Isotretinoin

• Tetracycline

• Chemical Sunscreens
