Pregnancy and nursing bring about a multitude of changes in a woman’s body, including the skin. Hormonal fluctuations can make your skin more reactive, requiring special care and attention. At Pear Beauty Spa, we understand these unique needs and are here to guide you through a safe and effective skincare routine during this precious time.

Skincare Products to Avoid During Pregnancy and Nursing

During pregnancy and nursing, it’s crucial to avoid certain skincare ingredients that can be too harsh or potentially harmful. Some active ingredients known for stimulating the skin can overstimulate and cause reactions due to heightened skin sensitivity. Here are key ingredients to steer clear of:

• AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids): While effective for exfoliation and anti-aging, AHAs like glycolic acid can be too harsh for sensitive, hormonally reactive skin.
• BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids): Salicylic acid, a common BHA, is often used to treat acne but can penetrate deep into the skin, posing potential risks.
• Retinols and Retinoids: These powerful anti-aging ingredients are best avoided due to their potential for causing irritation and other risks during pregnancy.

Focus on Maintaining a Healthy Skin Barrier

Instead of using aggressive active ingredients, pregnant and nursing women should prioritize maintaining a healthy skin barrier with hydration and calming products. A well-hydrated and soothed skin barrier can help prevent common issues like dryness, irritation, and breakouts. Here are our top product recommendations to support your skin during pregnancy and through to nursing:

1. Hydration is Key
   • Hydramucine Segment: Our Hydramucine line is designed to provide deep hydration, enhancing your skin’s moisture retention.
   • Marine Collagen Revitalizing Cream: This ingredient helps to hydrate and plump the skin, giving it a youthful glow.
2. Calming and Soothing Products
   • Rosa Sea Gel: Ideal for sensitive skin, this gel helps reduce redness and soothe irritated skin.
   • Sensiderm Segment: Our Sensiderm line is formulated to calm and protect sensitive skin, making them perfect for pregnancy and nursing.
3. Strengthening the Skin Barrier
