Pregnant and glowing? Here are skincare ingredients you must avoid to keep yourself and your baby safe!
Retinoids (Vitamin A derivatives): Avoid Retinol, Retin-A, and Tretinoin — they can harm fetal development.
Hydroquinone: This skin-lightening agent absorbs deeply into the skin and is best avoided during pregnancy.
Salicylic Acid (High Doses): Products with more than 2% can be risky for pregnancy-sensitive skin.
Benzoyl Peroxide: Common in acne treatments but can be too harsh for pregnant skin.
Essential Oils (High Concentrations): Avoid strong oils like tea tree, rosemary, and clary sage.
Chemical Sunscreens: Ingredients like Oxybenzone and Avobenzone should be skipped.
Formaldehyde, Phthalates & Parabens: Found in many beauty products and linked to hormone disruption.
