During pregnancy, there are significant hormonal changes that can result in new or worsening acne, pigmentation, and an accelerated loss of collagen and elastin,' explains Dr Jo Mennie, who specialises in infertility, and pregnancy skincare at the Aesthetic Practice at Dr David Jack Clinic. 'Pregnancy skincare however is not as simple as just avoiding certain ingredients. The upshot? 'It's best to be cautious whilst pregnant.' 'While topical skincare products or a ‘cosmeceutical’ are not legally classified or recognised as a ‘drug’, there is a lot of controversy surrounding what does or does not actually get absorbed into the body.' Once in the circulation, they have the potential to cross the placenta and affect the developing foetus.'

'There is increased systemic blood flow in the body whilst pregnant so absorption through the skin means that certain agents may pass into the bloodstream. 'Certain active cosmetic ingredients may be absorbed through the skin during pregnancy,' says Dr Anjali Mahto, a consultant dermatologist and author of The Skincare Bible.

The reason why some skincare is not safe for pregnancy is straightforward. Plus, I tried a pregnancy-safe skincare routine that was prescribed by a skincare doctor.
CERAVE SUNSCREEN HOW TO
Not sure what ingredients to avoid when pregnant? Or how to tackle the latest wave of hormonal acne? I caught up with the leading experts who breakdown exactly what is meant by 'pregnancy-safe skincare' as well as the ingredients to avoid.

However, as I quickly learned when I was pregnant, prenatal-safe skincare does mean that a few faves need to be put to one side for a while – much like gin and tonics with a grapefruit twist and cheese so soft you could use it for pottery. The good news is that your entire skin set-up doesn't need to be altered beyond all recognition. In some cases, the nature of the item means that it is non-returnable, for example, due to hygiene/health and personal care/wellness/consumable nature of the product.If you're currently cooking a baby but had your SPF, vitamin C, retinol routine sorted out a long time ago – then you might be feeling a little trepidatious about what needs to change.
