My skin is feeling so dull these days yaar and I really want to do a facial but not sure which one is safe. Second trimester chal raha hai. Did anyone get a facial done at parlour without any issue? pls share what u tried.
Personally, I stuck to basic papaya or organic fruit facials and avoided any chemical peels or bleach. My skin got super sensitive during those nine months. It's best to tell the salon staff clearly that you are pregnant so they use mild stuff.
Ugh, during my first trimester, the strong smell of salon creams used to trigger my nausea so badly. If you are also struggling with smells, please ask them for unscented, natural products. A basic cold compress facial with aloe gel is very soothing.
My gynac strictly told me to avoid salicylic acid, retinoids, and chemical peels during pregnancy as they can absorb into the skin. She said a basic organic hydrating facial or simple clean-up with natural fruit extracts is perfectly fine. Always check the ingredients list before letting them apply anything.
It's so natural to want to pamper yourself but also feel terrified of doing the wrong thing. I felt the exact same way and ended up avoiding salon treatments altogether because of stress. If you do go, just ask for a basic hydrating facial with no chemicals so you can relax without worrying.
Haha I practically wanted to eat the strawberry and honey scrub during my facial! But seriously, stick to pure fruit or chocolate facials which are natural and smell amazing. Just make sure they don't use any chemical steam or lasers.
Simple fruit facial is the best, ho na. Avoid chemical ones because pregnancy skin is very sensitive anyway. I used to just do homemade honey and curd pack at home, safe and glowing!
My MIL was strictly against salon facials because of all the chemicals and heat treatments. She made me use besan and dahi pack at home instead. Actually it worked so well and had zero risk, so maybe try ghar ke nuskhe first!
