Have you ever heard of the “pregnancy glow”? It is a real thing. There are many hormonal changes that cause increased circulation, blood flow, and oil production. Oil production keeps the skin hydrated and protects our skin. For some, this increased oil production can also lead to breakouts, even cystic acne. Melasma, known as the “pregnancy mask” can have in the 3rd trimester. Did you know this can effect up to 90% of pregnant women? It is caused by hormone surges. Both estrogen and progesterone stimulate melanin. Many pregnancy-related skin changes will resolve naturally with the end of pregnancy.
Ingredients to avoid: Retinoids, Hydroquinone, Clay Sage, Fennel, and Cinnamon. Personally, I would also avoid BHAs, AHAs, Salicylic, Glycolic and Lactic Acids. Always consult your doctor!
Treatments to avoid: high frequency, microcurrent, ultrasonic, phototherapy, Injectables, and IPL. I personally would also avoid microneedling and microdermabraison.
I highly recommend gentle, holistic facials. Most importantly, enjoy this darling time creating a new life. Consider a maternity and family photography session to capture these moments and cherish forever. Learn more about my motherhood photography.
