Skin gets really sensitive during pregnancy, so be very careful. Just like I had to monitor my diet closely due to GD, I also kept my skincare simple and chemical-free, sticking to basic moisturizers and gentle soaps.
Because of my previous pregnancy complications, I became extremely cautious about everything touching my skin. I would highly recommend asking your doctor before trying any new skincare product or scrub.
When I was staying with my parents, mummy made a natural ubtan with besan, milk, and a tiny bit of haldi for me to use as a body scrub. It felt so relaxing and completely safe for the baby.
You can definitely use mild, physical body scrubs, but avoid chemical ones containing high amounts of salicylic acid or retinoids. It is always best to double-check with your doctor about your skincare ingredients just to be completely safe.
I just delivered a few months ago and my skin was super dry and sensitive during pregnancy. I used a very gentle oatmeal and curd scrub ghar pe instead of store-bought ones, and it worked beautifully without any reaction.
I am in my second trimester now and my skin feels so itchy and dry. Is it really safe to use a mild coffee scrub, or should I just stick to regular coconut oil? Let me know what you guys did!
