Keep routines simple
Hormonal changes can make skin more sensitive. Use gentle cleansing, moisturizer and sun protection, and stop a product if it irritates you.
Ingredients to review
Some acne or pigmentation treatments may not be suitable during pregnancy. Bring ingredient lists to a doctor or pharmacist if unsure.
Salon services
Choose well-ventilated places with clean tools and avoid treatment over irritated or broken skin. Leave if you feel dizzy or unwell.
After birth
Postpartum hair shedding can occur for several months. Seek medical review for patchy, prolonged hair loss or significant additional symptoms.
