Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, you may experience changes in your skin. Here are some things you should be aware of:

• Acne may improve during your pregnancy, or it may get worse due to hormonal changes.

• While you cannot control your hormones during this time, you can control certain lifestyle factors like nutrition. Adhering to lifestyle recommendations as much as possible will help you get clear/maintain clear skin during your pregnancy.

• If your doctor approves, strictly adhere to your home care regimen.

• Many pre-natal vitamins contain iodides and/or biotin which are common acne triggers.

PRODUCTS TO AVOID

• Sal-C Toner (White Willow Bark and Salicylic Acid)

• Salicylic Serum (Salicylic Acid)

• Vitamin A Corrective Serum

• Vitamin A Corrective II Serum

• Daily SPF 30 (Butyloctyl Salicylate)

• Acne Peels (TCA)

Please confer with your doctor to see if there are any additional ingredients or products that they discourage.
