My skin has become oily and I used to apply astringent before pregnancy. Now the smell feels strong and I am not sure if it is safe. Did you change skincare after conceiving?
A mild face toner or astringent is generally ok externally, but pregnancy skin gets sensitive so go gentle. If it has strong ingredients or u get irritation, stop and ask ur derm or gynac.
Most basic astringents are alright on skin, but I always checked the ingredient list during pregnancy since some actives are avoided. Keep it simple and mild, and confirm with ur doctor if unsure about a product.
For face use, a gentle astringent is usually fine. I switched to milder products in pregnancy as my skin reacted more. Just avoid anything too harsh and patch test first.
