ive been using a glycolic toner for my skin since long but now im 3 months pregnant and reading mixed things online. should i stop it or is it fine to continue?
Yes, a mild glycolic acid toner is perfectly fine to use occasionally. Don't overdo it because pregnancy skin can get dry or easily irritated. Just stick to a gentle routine and always use sunscreen during the day.
My dadi and mom strictly told me to avoid all these chemical skin products, so I just stuck to natural things like besan and dahi pack. Glycolic acid might be a bit harsh right now, so why take the risk? Better to go natural for a few months.
Please be very careful with what you put on your skin as some chemicals can absorb into the body. I had a miscarriage earlier, so I became extremely cautious and stopped all active skincare products during my next pregnancy. It's always best to ask your gynac first.
I have read that low concentration glycolic acid (under 10%) is generally safe, but I am also trying to conceive and have put all chemical exfoliants on hold. It might be safer to consult your doctor or use a simple rose water toner for now.
Yes, it is safe in low concentrations, like less than 10%, as very little gets absorbed into the bloodstream. But pregnancy hormones can make your skin super sensitive, so do a patch test first or run it by your doctor to avoid any breakouts.
