I use Garnier Light regularly for my skin, but now I'm pregnant. Is it generally safe to continue using fairness creams like Garnier Light during pregnancy?
I am also trying to conceive and am quite shy to ask my doctor about these things. But I read that some whitening creams have ingredients that might not be very safe during this time. Maybe try using simple homemade besan and curd face packs instead?
Honestly, I stopped using all my chemical creams when I got pregnant because my skin became super dry. I switched to plain aloe vera gel and coconut oil, and it worked wonders. Skip the Garnier light for now, your natural pregnancy glow will be enough anyway!
I always focus on keeping my lifestyle clean with daily yoga and walks, and I apply that to my skincare too. Many over-the-counter creams have chemicals that are best avoided. Stick to natural products and light exercises if your doctor has allowed it.
I actually researched this and asked my dermatologist about it. Some of these creams contain salicylic acid or other chemical skin-lightening agents that are not recommended during pregnancy. My doctor said to stick to simple, fragrance-free products with safe ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
Haan na, pregnancy me skin suddenly sensitive ho jaati hai. It's better to avoid chemical fairness creams right now. Just use a mild organic moisturizer and ask your doctor once during your next visit.
