Since i know i got pregnant, i quit using almost all of my previous skin care and makeup products and switch to all natural/ organic products, and here are some ingredients we should avoid during pregnancy :)

Ingredients To Avoid

The most imporant things we need to know before we buy skin care/ makeup products during pregnancy is: Ingredients. So, I did some reserch online, and here are some ingredients we should avoid:

• Retin A/Accutane, Retinoids, Vitamin A:::

On the label:

-Differin (adapelene)-Retin-A, Renova (tretinoin)-Retinoic acid-Retinol-Retinyl linoleate-Retinyl palmitate-Tazorac and avage (Tazarotene)

• All Hydroxy Acids

• Dihydroxyacetone

On the label:

-Such as DHA

• Hydroquinone

• Kojic Acid

• Benzoyl Peroxide

• Salicylates:::

On the label:

-Salicylic acid-Beta hydroxy acid-BHA-AHA(Alpha hydroxy acids),-glycolic acid-lactic acid

• Parabens and chemical

• Hyaluronic Acid

• Sulfur

•Acne products:::

On the label:

-Beta hydroxy acid-BHA-Differin (adapelene)-Retin-A, Renova (tretinoin)-Retinoic acid-Retinol-Retinyl linoleate-Retinyl palmitate-Salicylic acid-Tazorac and avage (Tazarotene)-Tretinoin

And, here are some of my pregnancy skin care/makeup essentials:

1 :::Fresh

Soy face cleanser

I love this cleanser, I like the ingredients and it smells very nice. It foams up and does exactly what it claims to do.

The ingredients are all natural, and suitable for pregnant women

2 :::Origins

Check and balances frothy face wash

I use it in the morning and at night before I go to bed, It cleans well and leaves my skin feeling soft.

Dr. Andrew Weil for origins mega-mushroom skin relief soothing treatment lotion

This definitely has helped my skin feel less dehydrated, it has kept my breakouts under control and my skin feels smoother after using this. The smell is not too strong either.

3 :::Neutrogena naturals

Multi-vitamin nourishing night cream

Leaves skin smooth, and hydrated. All natural ingredients. Only one thing that i don't like is the smell does not really attractive for me.

4 :::The body shop

Vitamin E Gentle cleansing facial wipes

Hydrating toner

Intense moisture cream

Eye cream

Skin-in moisture sleeping mask

Switch to a simple: The Body Shop Vitamin E products are really good for me (In fact, the entire Vitamin E range is ideal for use during pregnancy… and after!) So, I bought a few products from this line. (Except the eye cream, i think i will use them until empty or purchase them again.)

5 :::Aveeno

Daily moisturizing lotion

I love that it is natural and leaves my skin feeling smooth and not greasy at all.

Aveeno Bb cream

I quit using all my previous foundation and bb cream during my prenancy, and i switch to this, only thing i like is the natural ingredients, coverage low-midium.

6 :::Nexcare

3M acne care

I love this products since 2 years ago, and i still using it, it kill my acne in 1 or 2 night, the big one might take a little bit longer, 3 or 4 night, just like a band-aid, use it overnight. Love Love Love!

7 :::EOS

Hand cream

Lip balm

All natural ingredients, smell really good.

8 :::Burt's bees

Lip balm

Smell not as good as EOS, but still ok, all natural ingredients.

I hope these tips will help you and that you got some insight into what I use on my skin everyday! Please feel free to tell me what you think, hope you all enjoy it: )

*Products purchased by myself **Btw, if I got lucky, will know the baby gender on next week XD
