5 Most Common Skin Problems During Pregnancy

5 Most Common Skin Problems During Pregnancy

1. Acne

Many women with flawless clear skin are alarmed and overwhelmed as they experience more acne than usual during pregnancy. This is due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. The sad news is that moms MUST AVOID using acne meditations that contain RETINOIDS which can possibly cause miscarriage. 

2. Stretch Marks

Stretch Marks are caused by rapid skin stretching during this period and are a primary concern for most moms because they are extremely difficult to fade away. Therefore, moms are advised to monitor their weight again to stay within the recommended range and always keep their skin moisturized at all times with stretch mark creams as soon as they know they are expecting. 

3. Skin Darkening

Hormonal changes cause skin darkening and photosensitivity. These unpleasant conditions will disappear soon after delivery. Despite skin photosensitivity, moms are not recommended to use sunscreens unless they are exposed to outdoor sunlight. This is because sunscreens contain many chemicals that are not safe for moms and babies. Best and safest way to prevent damage from UV light is to use hats, sunglasses and umbrellas.

4. Dark spots and melanoma

In addition to acne and skin darkening, pregnant women may also experience dark spots and melasma. However, it is not advised to use conventional whitening or melasma creams during pregnancy because many products contain dangerous ingredients including retinoids or vitamin A derivatives. Therefore, moms should carefully select skincare products that do not contain risky ingredients as well as have umbrellas, hats, and sunglasses handy. 

5. Dry, flaky skin

Dry skin, especially on the body, is common among pregnant moms and can lead to itchiness and inflammation. Avoid hot baths and cold air-conditioned rooms. Always make sure skin is moisturized at all times.
