I used a glycolic acid serum for my dull skin before knowing i was pregnant, now im 9 weeks and bit worried. Should i stop it completely? Anyone continued their skincare?
I tracked this on my pregnancy app and it said glycolic acid is generally safe in low percentages (below 10%). However, always cross-verify your skincare ingredients on pregnancy-safe websites or apps. Many moms switch to lactic acid as it's considered even safer.
I stayed with my parents and my mom strictly advised me to avoid any fancy parlor treatments or strong skin creams. Many of these chemicals can be harsh when your body is already going through so many changes. It's best to stick to basic, gentle moisturizers recommended by your doctor.
I am trying to conceive and I recently stopped using my glycolic acid toner because I read it might not be completely safe. I feel thoda hesitant to use any active skincare right now. Maybe we can ask a dermatologist for pregnancy-safe alternatives?
Beta, I don't know much about these chemical creams, but during pregnancy, our skin gets very sensitive. My mother always told me to use simple home things like besan and curd on my face instead of strong medicines. It is much safer for the baby and keeps you glowing naturally!
Skin care ingredients can absorb into your body, so you must absolutely check with your gynac before using glycolic acid. Some chemical exfoliants are not recommended during pregnancy. It is always better to be cautious and get a safe list of products from your doctor.
