We know that you should avoid alcohol and cigarettes during pregnancy, but you must also consider anything else you put into your body, and even on your body when you are carrying a child.
You have the responsibility to your child to avoid the intake of anything that may harm him or her, and that can include those medicines taken internally for skin conditions such as acne.
Your skin care during pregnancy may change, depending on what you are doing.
Many women take some form of medication that can help with their acne, and this needs to be stopped when one learns she is pregnant.
The medicines in these anti-acne pills can be harmful to the developing child, and while you may think you need to look radiant when you are pregnant, they will do more harm than good.
Your doctor will advise you as to what medications are safe for you to continue taking while pregnant, but those taken internally for clearing acne will have to be discontinued.
Other routines can be used when you are worried about skin care during pregnancy.
Your skin will change with the changing hormones, and some women find that their skin clears on its own when pregnant.
If you experience breakouts when you are pregnant that you had not experienced before, don't be tempted to take strong anti-acne medications, just increase your skin cleansing routine and know that it will probably go away once you have had the baby.
The important thing is the health of your child, not so much how you look.
You will be beautiful with your big belly and growing child within, anyway! You may also experience stretch marks and other changes in your skin.
Always consult your doctor when you are dealing with any chemicals that you think may alleviate these changes that you may not like.
Any harsh chemicals that you breathe in or use on your skin may adversely affect your child.
You should always make sure anything you use while pregnant is safe for you and especially for your developing baby.
While your skin care during pregnancy shouldn't change drastically, you will want to take every precaution if you were using harsh chemicals or medications before you got pregnant, or are considering using them to treat changes in your skin once you are pregnant.
The risks are there, and if you are aware you can avoid them and still be beautiful and radiant.
