In today’s episode we’re talking about skincare for acne during pregnancy. Skin can undergo so many changes during pregnancy, ranging from increased sensitivity to dryness, stretch marks, unwanted hair growth, and acne. There are certain active ingredients in skincare that can be really helpful for acne-prone skin, but some of these are not safe to use while pregnant. The Pregnancy Category Rating System is a five letter grading system (A, B, C, D, and X) used to indicate the potential risk of a drug to cause birth defects if it were to be used during pregnancy. Cosmetic ingredients that fall under Category A and B are deemed safe to use during pregnancy, whereas anything that falls under Categories C, D, or X should be avoided.
Join us in today’s episode as we talk about skincare ingredients to avoid and safer alternatives to use for acne-prone skin during pregnancy.
