My belly skin is so stretched and itchy now that im in second tri, and someone gave me a vitamin e lotion for it. But i get paranoid about putting anything on my skin these days na. Is it actually safe to use during pregnancy?
I am also looking for safe skincare products now. From what I read, pure Vitamin E is quite gentle and safe, but it's always sweet to get a nod from your doctor first.
Look, basic Vitamin E lotion is fine, but you must check the ingredients list for things like retinoids or salicylic acid which are not safe. Show the bottle to your gynac on your next visit to be absolutely sure.
I completely understand checking every single ingredient, I was also terrified of using anything on my skin! Vitamin E is usually safe, but please ask your doctor once just so you don't keep stressing over it.
I used it daily after my morning shower, it's quick and works well for dry skin. Just buy a reputed, paraben-free brand to keep it safe and simple. No need to overthink it.
No need to buy fancy expensive pregnancy lotions, simple Vitamin E or even pure coconut oil works great and is super cheap! Save that money for baby vaccination and hospital bills instead.
Yes, I used it throughout my pregnancy to keep my skin soft, and it was so comforting. Just make sure it's a gentle brand with no harsh chemicals. Take care of your beautiful self!
Personally, I used a basic Vitamin E cream for my stretch marks and had no issues at all. But I'm not a doctor, so I can only suggest checking with your own gynac to be safe.
