How Does Your Skin Change During Pregnancy? 

Pregnancy is a time of beauty and challenge, especially when it comes to your skin. We've all heard of that "pregnancy glow," thanks to increased blood flow and oils that can give your skin a radiant boost. For some, this time brings an improvement in skin texture, making it seem like you’re wearing a natural highlighter every day.

But let’s be real—pregnancy can also throw your skin some curveballs. Hormonal changes can make your skin pretty temperamental, causing acne, dryness, and even dark spots. Plus, your skin might become more sensitive, making some of your go-to skincare products suddenly feel like they're not on your side anymore.

Skincare Ingredients to Avoid While Pregnant

Retinoids: Active ingredients like retinol and prescription retinoids, often found in anti-aging products, may have negative effects on the developing baby.

Salicylic Acid: Commonly used for acne treatment, high concentrations can potentially be harmful, so it's best to avoid them.

Hydroquinone: Often used to lighten dark spots, it's recommended to steer clear of hydroquinone during pregnancy due to safety concerns.

Benzoyl Peroxide: While considered generally safe in limited amounts, high concentrations should be avoided, especially if applied over large areas of skin.

Formaldehyde: This preservative can be found in some skincare products, and it's best to avoid it during pregnancy due to the potential risk of birth defects.

During your pregnancy, when you are unable to use retinol and other high-risk ingredients, switch to safe alternatives like our  Super Collagen Detox Glacial Algae Serum. Going beyond the limitations of retinol, this serum harnesses the power of squalene and features double-molecule hyaluronic acid for an unparalleled skincare experience.

Dry Skin During Pregnancy

Experiencing dry skin during pregnancy? You're not alone. The whirlwind of your hormone levels and the stretching of your skin can often lead to dryness and stretch marks, leaving your skin craving extra moisture and care. Pregnancy hormones and the physical expansion of your skin to accommodate your growing baby can strip away moisture, leading to dry, itchy, sensitive skin. It's a common concern but, thankfully, one that can be managed with a few mindful practices like keeping hydrated and using gentle, moisturizing products can help combat this.

For that extra touch of moisture, our Firming Facelift Magic Moss Serum is a game-changer. Specially formulated for expectant moms, this serum delivers luxurious hydration without the worry. Packed with the goodness of moss extracts, it not only moisturizes deeply but also supports your skin's natural elasticity.

Acne During Pregnancy

Pregnancy can sometimes bring on acne due to hormonal shifts, especially during the first trimester. Gentle cleansing with a mild product and opting for pregnancy-safe topical treatments can help manage breakouts.

For targeted support, our Super Collagen Detox Glacial Algae Serum is ideal for navigating combination or acne-prone skin during pregnancy. Its blend, featuring the detoxifying benefits of glacial algae and hyaluronic acid, is designed to boost collagen. If acne becomes severe or stubborn, consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or OBGYN is advised to find solutions that are safe for both you and your baby.

What About Breastfeeding?

Navigating skincare and beauty products while breastfeeding involves similar caution to pregnancy since certain ingredients can still pose risks. Specifically, topical retinoids should be avoided. They can be absorbed into the skin and potentially enter breast milk or affect the baby through skin-to-skin contact. It's crucial to continue selecting skincare products that prioritize safety and gentleness for both you and your baby during this special time. For a breastfeeding-safe, retinol alternative, check out our Super Collagen Detox Glacial Algae Serum. This serum is not only safe for mom and baby, it also introduces a unique blend of double-molecule hyaluronic acid – a dynamic duo for radiant and deeply glowy hydrated skin, even while breastfeeding.
