I have been skipping my night cream since i found out, bit scared about the ingredients na. My skin is getting so dry now. Is it ok to continue or better to stop?
Actually yaar, even I was super confused about my skin routine. My doc told me to avoid anti-aging night creams completely because of retinoids. I switched to a basic safe moisturizer, don't take risks with fancy chemicals!
Just stop using any night cream that contains retinol or salicylic acid immediately. I have two kids and my doctor was very direct about this during both pregnancies. Always read the back of the bottle before putting anything on your face.
Night cream? Honestly, I barely have the energy to wash my face before crashing with my baby! But seriously, check the ingredients for retinol because that is a big no-no. If you actually have the energy for a routine, use a simple baby-safe moisturizer.
I am in my 3rd trimester and my only night routine is trying to find a comfortable side to sleep on! But yes, avoid those strong chemical night creams. Simple aloe vera gel or pure coconut oil is my best friend these days.
I used to use a very basic, chemical-free moisturizer during my pregnancy because so many products aren't safe. Even now while breastfeeding, I avoid creams with harsh chemicals like retinoids or salicylic acid. Better to stick to simple virgin coconut oil or baby cream.
Haha, pregnancy glow is already there, but we still want our beauty sleep creams! Just check the ingredients carefully. If it has retinol, keep it far away unless you want your baby to have a super chemically glowing mom, stick to safe organic creams for now!
