Your Skin

Pregnancy calls for extra care in every aspect of self-care, including beauty routines. Always consult your doctor before introducing new products, and be mindful of ingredients like retinoids, high-dose salicylic acid, hydroquinone, formaldehyde, phthalates, and certain essential oils, which may not be suitable during this delicate time. Even "natural" products can contain potent or unregulated ingredients that aren't pregnancy-safe. Opt for gentle, fragrance-free formulations, prioritize hygiene, and be sure to discard any expired items to keep both you and your baby safe. Your glow should feel as pure and radiant as the journey you're on.

Even the most carefully formulated cosmetics can occasionally irritate sensitive skin. Reactions may occur unexpectedly, even with products you've used and loved for years. The cause may be hard to pinpoint and doesn’t always repeat itself in the same way. Factors such as changes in your routine, diet, stress levels, exposure to other irritants (like household cleaning agents), or an impaired skin barrier can contribute to irritation. All cosmetic ingredients, regardless of how little is used or how the product is applied, carry the potential to cause sensitivity. If you experience any discomfort or reaction, discontinue use immediately. We recommend consulting your doctor or dermatologist to determine whether you’re dealing with a temporary irritation, a compromised skin barrier, or a true allergy. Your skin’s wellbeing is always the top priority.

Your skin’s barrier is its first line of defense, protecting against environmental stressors, bacteria, and moisture loss. When compromised, it can lead to dryness, irritation, redness, and increased sensitivity. Common causes include over-exfoliation, harsh skincare products, environmental factors like extreme weather, sun exposure or pollution, stress, and even an unbalanced diet. To heal a weakened barrier, focus on nourishing, hydrating ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid. Avoid harsh actives like retinoids or acids and opt for gentle, fragrance-free products that help restore your skin’s natural defenses. Once your skin feels sturdy again, gradually incorporate extra treatments, such as exfoliants or masks, once a week to boost radiance without overwhelming your skin. Patience and gentle care are key to bringing your skin back to its healthiest, most resilient state.
