If you\u2019re expecting, you\u2019ll likely need to give your skincare routine a bit of a refresh, as some products may not be safe to use during this time.

With pregnancy comes a lot of change: from your body<\/a> to your diet<\/a> to your skin. Due to the massive shift in hormones<\/a>, you may experience certain changes in your complexion, such as new breakouts, melasma, or stretch marks. Not only do new skincare concerns arise during this time, but some of your go-to skincare ingredients may not be safe to use while pregnant. And while you might be concerned that you\u2019ll have to toss your entire skincare stash, that\u2019s not entirely true. There are plenty of skincare products you can continue to use that may help with specific skin concerns during pregnancy. However, there are some that you should avoid for the time being, too.<\/p>\n\n\n

Marisa Garshick<\/a>, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, breaks down everything you need to know about pregnancy-safe skincare, including what ingredients to avoid, which products to add, and how to treat any unwelcome skin conditions that may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Do You Need to Change Your Skincare Routine When Pregnant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"pregnancy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

When you\u2019re pregnant, your hormone levels change drastically, which can impact your skin. \u201cYour skincare needs and concerns may change in pregnancy, which may require you to use different products depending on the specific concern,\u201d Dr. Garshick explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Not only do new skincare concerns crop up, but your trusty products may not be pregnancy-safe. \u201cYour skincare routine may need to change during pregnancy if some of the ingredients that you incorporate are not recommended during pregnancy, such as retinoids or hydroquinone,\u201d Dr. Garshick explains.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Top Skincare Concerns During Pregnancy<\/h2>\n\n\n

Due to all the changes in hormones, your skin may change a lot during the nine months. Here are the top skincare concerns during pregnancy to be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n

Melasma During Pregnancy<\/h3>\n\n\n

\u201cChanges in hormone levels during pregnancy can lead to or worsen melasma or hyperpigmentation in patients,\u201d Dr. Garshick explains. Increased levels of estrogen and progesterone lead to an increase in melanin stimulating hormone (MSH), triggering pigment cells and contributing to darker moles, darker nipples, a darker vulva, and patchy dark spots on the forehead, upper lip, and cheeks. Before you begin to worry, keep in mind this is a very common condition: Up to 70 percent of pregnant women experience melasma, according to the American Academy of Dermatology<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

When it comes to melasma during pregnancy, prevention is key. \u201cIf you are prone to melasma, which can also be seen with oral contraceptive pills, it is especially important to use sun protection while pregnant to try to prevent it,\u201d Dr. Garshick adds.<\/p>\n\n\n

Acne During Pregnancy<\/h3>\n\n\n

\u201cAcne can also occur during pregnancy in some individuals as a result of hormonal changes which can trigger more oil production and lead to clogged pores,\u201d Dr. Garshick explains. Acne during pregnancy is common and can vary in intensity and severity depending on the trimester, but it can be treated.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cCertain ingredients that can be used include azelaic acid as well as some topical prescriptions available with the dermatologist,\u201d Dr. Garshick says. \u201cIn-office blue light treatment can also be used.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the good news: Acne during pregnancy tends to result from changing hormones, so it\u2019ll likely clear up postpartum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Stretch Marks During Pregnancy<\/h3>\n\n\n

Wondering how to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy? Topicals (like creams and those popular belly sheet masks) can help, but whether you get stretch marks or not is partially due to genetics, according to a study in the International Journal of Women\u2019s Dermatology<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWhile some creams and certain ingredients (including centella asiatica and hyaluronic acid<\/a>) may help to prevent stretch marks and reduce the potential formation, it is important to remember because there is a component that is genetic, even with using creams, it is possible to still develop them,\u201d she explains. \u201cImportantly, there is limited evidence when it comes to using topical creams to prevent stretch marks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Retinoids may be helpful to treat stretch marks after pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/a> but should be avoided during pregnancy. If you\u2019re dealing with stretch marks (or nervous that you might), know that there are options. \u201cThere are lasers and in-office procedures such as microneedling that can be helpful for stretch marks as well, but are recommended to be performed after delivery,\u201d Dr. Garshick explains.<\/p>\n\n\n

Puffiness During Pregnancy<\/h3>\n\n\n

Research<\/a> shows that the body increases blood production by about 50 percent during pregnancy, which may boost circulation and contribute to an overall brighter complexion. But this increased blood production can also contribute to some puffiness and swelling. However, severe swelling can be a sign of preeclampsia (a serious medical condition). If you feel like you\u2019re more swollen than normal, contact your OB ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n

Skincare Products to Avoid During Pregnancy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"pregnancy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

As mentioned before, there are some products to steer clear of during pregnancy, as they\u2019re believed to impact the development of the baby. \u201cIt is still okay to maintain a general skincare routine and continue with regular use of gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen,\u201d says Dr. Garshick. \u201cIn general, any product you are using you should double-check with your obstetrician to make sure it\u2019s considered safe in pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Retinol<\/h3>\n\n\n

While retinol<\/a> boasts numerous benefits to the skin (think: decreased acne, increased collagen production, and more), experts recommend pregnant women pause their use of this popular topical. According to research<\/a>, while the amount of drug absorbed from topical use is low, there have been published case reports of birth defects associated with tretinoin, and prescription-strength retinol. Out of caution, it\u2019s best to remove it from your rotation to create a pregnancy-safe skincare routine.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hydroquinone\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n

Hydroquinone is a topical used to treat melasma. While there isn\u2019t much research on the use of hydroquinone during pregnancy, it\u2019s estimated that 35 to 45 percent is absorbed by humans<\/a> when applied topically. Because of the high absorption rate, research<\/a> recommends pregnant women avoid exposure until more studies can confirm the safety of this ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n

High Concentrations of Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid<\/h3>\n\n\n

Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are both powerful active skincare ingredients that can help treat and prevent acne. But if you\u2019re building a pregnancy-safe skincare routine, it\u2019s best to leave them out\u2014especially if the products you\u2019re using have high concentrations of either ingredient, Dr. Garshick says. That\u2019s because your body still absorbs these drugs, and, if the dosage is high enough, there\u2019s concern they may interfere with the pregnancy. Since there isn\u2019t much research done in this area, experts advise those who are pregnant to exercise caution.<\/p>\n\n\n

Injectables<\/h3>\n\n\n

While Botox and fillers may be part of your typical skincare routine, they should be avoided during pregnancy. It\u2019s largely due to the fact that there\u2019s not enough research on how these treatments affect the pregnancy. Studies<\/a> show that the FDA has classified Botox as a pregnancy risk category C, which means it should only be administered if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risks (such as affecting the fetus\u2019s development). As with Botox, there hasn\u2019t been much research on fillers during pregnancy, which is why many experts advise staying away from them during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n

Skincare Products to Use During Pregnancy<\/h2>\n\n\n

\u201cThere are no products that you have to add in when pregnant, but if you\u2019re experiencing skincare concerns, there are products that are safe to use in pregnancy,\u201d Dr. Garshick says. Here are the best skincare products for pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sunscreen<\/h3>\n\n\n

Since pregnancy makes you more susceptible to melasma, SPF<\/a> is an absolute must. \u201cWhile you should always be wearing sunscreen, it can be especially helpful in pregnancy to help prevent worsening hyperpigmentation or discoloration,\u201d Dr. Garshick says. You may prefer to opt for mineral sunscreens during pregnancy, she explains, which are physical blockers containing zinc<\/a> oxide or titanium dioxide. Mineral sunscreens sit on top of the skin and block the sun\u2019s harmful UV rays, while chemical-based sunscreens can still be absorbed by the body. If you want to be extra careful, opt for mineral-based sunscreens during pregnancy. Aim for an SPF of at least 30 (and don\u2019t forget to reapply every two hours).<\/p>\n\n\n

Azelaic Acid<\/h3>\n\n\n

\u201cAzelaic acid is an ingredient that is considered safe in pregnancy that can be helpful for hyperpigmentation or melasma that comes with pregnancy,\u201d Dr. Garshick says. \u201cIt is available over-the-counter or in a prescription form.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Moisturizer<\/h3>\n\n\n

The increased blood flow during this time can give you that \u201cpregnancy glow\u201d so many people talk about. But all the changes in your body can also lead to dryness or itching, Dr. Garshick says. To help prevent this from happening (and also to keep your skin glowing), it\u2019s important to hydrate your skin\u2014both your face and your body. \u201cFor those who are experiencing dryness associated with pregnancy, it may be important to increase the frequency of moisturizing the skin or use a thicker moisturizing cream,\u201d Dr. Garshick says.<\/p>\n\n
