Pregnancy, is a beautiful stage to live through, full of good days and ill mornings. Our bodies go through a lot during these months, and all we want as mothers, is a healthy little bundle of joy. So we look for healthy foods, avoid alcohol and sea food, skip eating junk cravings and just consume what makes us feel good and not sick. But what about what we put on our skin? A very small percent of everything that we apply topically will penetrate our skin and go directly into our bloodstream. That includes chemicals, acids, preservatives (have the worst long term damage) and all else that is in skincare ingredients. You want to completely AVOID all these ingredients that are known to cause harm to baby, Retin A/Accutane, Retinoids, Vitamin A , Chemical Sunscreens, All ACIDS, CBD, Hydroquinone (All skin lighteners). Complete list coming soon.
As these ingredients run through our blood, there is a huge potential that when pregnant they will reach your little growing baby. Using the right ingredients (internally and externally) during this time could save your baby from any harm. When searching for the right product to use, look at the ingredients on the back, and not the claims on the front or the brand itself. Here are 3 pregnancy safe brands that have clean ingredients to use during and after pregnancy.
