Maintaining your skin when pregnant.

Pregnancy is a time when a lot change happens in a persons body, it’s so important to listen to your body and what it’s telling you during this time. Of course, there is that “pregnancy glow” we all hope to have but that isn’t the case for everyone. Through the influx of hormones, some people experience symptoms from pigmentation, acne, dehydration & puffiness. Your skin can also present as being more sensitive than you are used to. When researching the dos & Don’ts of skincare & treating the skin there is a lot of what you cannot do and cannot use so instead we will be telling you everything you CAN do.

DISCLAIMER:
As always you need to communicate with your clinician when you become aware you are pregnant so we can monitor your skin’s response to skincare and alter it as need be. Every individual is different and will respond differently to products and treatments.
