Pregnancy Skincare Routine

By our amazing Esthetician Sarah Lucius!

First and foremost, when it comes to pregnancy skincare, it’s always best to consult with your OBGYN.

However, as a general rule of thumb, there are certain ingredients and/or treatments we just don’t touch when you’re growing a baby. Here is a list of some to absolutely avoid, along with some that CAN be used with clearance from your OBGYN.

Here is a rundown of Skincare I’ve kept the same + changed for pregnancy. 

SAME SAME: 

• Double cleansing every night. Using One Love Organics Vitamin B cleanser to remove makeup rather than using my ZOE plus sonic cleanser + ZO gentle cleanser to cleanse the skin. 

• ZO Skin health exfoliating polish to remove dead skin cells, Improve skin texture, & enhance cell turnover. 

• Zo Calming toner to reduce excess oil production and calm the skin. 

• Next step- applying Skinbetter Alto defense to even skin tone, reduce redness, and restore hydration. 

• PRO TIP!!! PRESS serums into the skin; don’t rub. You’ll get better absorption, and you’ll actually use less product. 

• Next- Skinbetter interfuses treatment Eye helps improve skin texture under the eye and plumps the skin. 

• Then, Skinbetter Trio rebalancing moisture treatment. This is great anti-aging, ultra-hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and barrier repairing!! 

SAME SAME: 

•Exfoliating using enzymes 

• Applying Vitamin C  

• SPF SPF SPF EVERYDAY RAIN OR SHINE 

• Lactic acid 

• Dermaplaning

NOT DOING: 

•Retinol 

• Chemical peels (although lactic is an exception) 

• Hydroquinone 

• Filler 

•Laser hair removal 

• Dihydroxyacetone (DHA, found in self-tanners) 

• Chemical SPF like oxybenzone
