I used to use a face wash with salicylic acid for my acne. Now read somewhere its not good in pregnancy and stopped, but dont really get why. Can someone explain na?
My mother always advised me to avoid chemical skin products and use natural things like besan and haldi instead. High doses of salicylic acid in skincare are not recommended as they can absorb into the skin and affect the baby. It's much safer to stick to ghar ke nuskhe for a natural glow.
Haan, salicylic acid pregnancy me safe nahi mana jata kyuki skin ke through body me absorb ho sakta hai jo baby ke liye thik nahi hai. Skincare me glycolic acid ya natural chize use kar lo na. Apne gynac se bhi ek baar confirm kar lena.
Oh, I totally feel your frustration, dealing with pregnancy acne without your usual skincare is so hard! Salicylic acid can potentially carry risks for the baby, which is why doctors advise avoiding it. You are doing such a brave job protecting your little one, hang in there!
Salicylic acid, especially in concentrations above 2% or oral forms, is avoided because it's related to aspirin and can cause complications. Switch to pregnancy-safe alternatives like lactic acid or azelaic acid instead. Always scan your product labels before applying anything.
I had to stop my favorite acne facewash because it had salicylic acid, and now my skin is breaking out so much! Are you guys also avoiding salicylic acid, and what safe alternatives are you using instead?
