Dr Saleki comments on skincare during pregnancy, “There are three things to consider with skincare during pregnancy and breastfeeding: safety, increased risk factors and hydration,” Dr Mahsa Saleki, founder of SAS Aesthetics in London. “With safety there are ingredients that people must avoid, such as salicylic acid, hydroquinone and all retinoids. Due to hormonal changes, the skin changes a lot too and many women find that their skin is much dryer, irritable and more inflamed – therefore it is important to keep hydrated and include a good moisturiser in their skincare routine. A good medical grade vitamin C is safe to use during pregnancy and helps reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation development both during the pregnancy and post-partum.”
