To stay safe during pregnancy, you must look out for some components in cosmetics that can be dangerous to you and your baby

During the first 2-3 months of pregnancy, you will experience a lot of changes to your skin, namely acne and blemishes so it’s only natural if you tend to become more conscious about your beauty. Though as much as you’re concerned about your beauty, you must always pay attention to the chemicals in the cosmetics and skincare products that you’re about to buy.

But just to be sure, consider choosing PregSkin’s products which contain the natural Bidens Pilosa extract, and are dermatologically tested in the USA to ensure that they won’t cause skin irritation even to the most sensitive skin.

1. Vitamin A

The most dangerous of them all are Vitamin A derivatives or Retinoids such as Retinyl Palmitate, Retinol, Retinaldehyde, Adapalene, Tretinoin, Isotretinoin, and Tazarotene which are normally found in acne treatment or blemish-control products. They can potentially cause birth defects or even miscarriage!

3. Benzoyl Peroxide (BP)

Another component found in acne treatment cream usually advised by dermatologists to apply before washing your face, Benzoyl Peroxide (BP) should be avoided. In addition to potentially causing skin irritation in the applied spots, it can increase UV sensitivity and make your skin dry which is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding moms.
