Whilst some women experience an improvement in their background skin condition in pregnancy, others experience significant flares.

Frequently asked questions

Products that are pregnancy and breastfeeding safe are: 

During pregnancy and breastfeeding you cannot use:

  • Vitamin A (Retinoids) 
  • Glycolic Acid

 

The only Bespoke product that is NOT safe for use during pregnancy is Complete Night Shield as it contains a retinoid. 

1  – Wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen every day – this is safe to do so during pregnancy. 

2 – Use multitasking ingredients that target pigmentation and inflammation but are also safe for use during pregnancy.  Some of Dr Armour’s favourites are: 

  • Bakuchiol a unique multitasker that increases cell turnover, reduces fine lines/wrinkles, combats photo damage and stimulates collagen production. It works on the same receptors in our skin as retinoids (Vitamin A), however it is safe for use during pregnancy. 
  • Niacinamide visibly reduces the appearance of pores, regulates oil production and improves blotchy pigmentation.
  • Green Tea is a calming, anti-inflammatory antioxidant that helps neutralise the adverse effects of UV exposure and unwanted pigmentation.
  • Resveratrol brightens the skin while also soothing and plumping the skin.
  • Astaxanthin is a powerhouse at combating unwanted pigmentation and sun damage. When topically applied, skin becomes brighter and more luminous.
  • Ferulic acid is great for fading and preventing dark spots. It can also help to reduce redness in the skin.  

When you become pregnant hormones that are a part of your normal menstrual cycle, rise dramatically. This can cause a variety of changes to your skin. If you would like to read more. We have written a blog about Skin Changes During Pregnancy with Dermatologist Dr Katherine Armour.
