My skin has gone so dull and im getting little breakouts too, plus scared to use my usual products now. Whats a safe skincare routine during pregnancy? would love to hear what you all are using.
You dont need expensive pregnancy ranges honestly. A basic moisturiser, sunscreen and plenty of water did the job for me. Save the money for the baby stuff later, simple care is enough.
My derma said in pregnancy keep it gentle, use a good moisturiser, sunscreen for the pigmentation, and avoid strong actives like retinol type creams. She told me to run any new product by her. Hydration and mild stuff worked best for me.
My skin got so dry and itchy on the belly, i felt uncomfortable all the time. I started moisturising twice a day and drinking more water and it got much better. Such a simple thing but it really helped me.
I kept it simple, plain coconut oil or a gentle moisturiser on the belly, lots of water and a mild face wash. Avoided trying new strong products. But if you get sudden severe itching all over, dont ignore it, tell your doctor, that one needs checking.
Dont stress about every spot yaar, lots of it is just hormones and settles after baby. Keep skin moisturised, drink water, use sunscreen and dont go overboard with new products. Glow comes and goes, totally normal.
