My face wash and a serum I use both have BHA in them. Now im 9 weeks and suddenly worried whether i should continue ya stop using them. Anyone checked this with their derm or gynac?
Arre, BHA products bilkul avoid karo abhi na! Actually chemical exfoliants pregnancy me safe nahi hote, humari skin absorb kar leti hai. Normal besan ya dahi use kar lo ghar pe, safety first yaar.
Honestly, BHA is salicylic acid, and high percentages are definitely a no-no during pregnancy. If u really need an exfoliant, lactic acid is much safer, but better to run your skincare routine by your gynac once just to be 100% sure.
I would say avoid these chemical creams right now. Mere ghar pe to MIL always said use chandan or rose water for glow, and it really worked. If u have severe acne or skin issues, then please check with your doctor before applying any strong acids.
My mother always told me to stick to simple nalangu maavu during my pregnancy instead of cosmetic acids like BHA. Even my gynac said it is better to avoid active chemicals for these 9 months. Take care and go natural for now.
BHA (salicylic acid) is generally not recommended during these special months, dear. Try to keep your skincare super simple and natural right now, and keep your mind happy and stress-free. Trust in God, focus on your health, and everything will be beautiful.
