I'm trying to be careful with all the products I use now that I'm pregnant, including my skincare. Could anyone recommend some skincare brands that are generally considered safe to use during pregnancy? I want to avoid harmful chemicals.
During my first trimester, the strong smell of my usual creams made me throw up instantly. I shifted to fragrance-free options like Cetaphil or Plum's sensitive range. Choose unscented products if you are struggling with nausea.
Haha, my skincare during pregnancy was just "pregnancy glow" (which was actually just sweat and oil)! Seriously, brands like Sebamed, Mamaearth, or Cetaphil are super safe. Just lock your expensive retinol serum away for a few months!
Just avoid anything with retinoids, salicylic acid, or parabens. Brands like Kama Ayurveda or Cetaphil are generally safe, but read the ingredients carefully. Don't fall for fancy marketing, simple is best.
Honestly, in my 3rd trimester, my skincare routine is just trying to wash my face before passing out from tiredness! I switched to basic baby lotion and Sebamed products. Keep it super simple, no one has the energy for a 10-step routine right now anyway.
Beta, in our times we didn't use these heavy chemical creams. Applying a little homemade malai (cream) or besan with curd is the best and safest for the skin. If you must buy, choose very gentle baby brands or simple rose water.
Staying positive and keeping your mind happy is the best glow you can get, dear. For skincare, I used very simple, natural things like sandalwood or pure aloe vera. Just take care of yourself and don't worry too much about commercial brands.
