Pregnancy can bring with it a brand-new set of beauty concerns. Is it safe to tan? Can I use a certain moisture cream? What about over-the-counter acne medications is safe? How about beauty questions you don’t feel comfortable talking about, the uncomfortable beauty questions?
Knowing which treatments are safe during pregnancy can be a very confusing and complicated minefield of trimesters, sensitivities, chemicals and insurance exclusions.
Here's a basic run-down of common treatments that you may be thinking about having but are unsure whether they're safe for you at your stage of pregnancy.
The key points to remember:
- Always err on the side of caution and ask if you are unsure about the suitability of a treatment.
- Avoid electrical treatments and heat treatments completely.
- The first trimester is often the trickiest so check with your medical professional if you are in any doubt.
- Avoid weight loss and toning treatments as these can be very stimulating and you want to concentrate on the pregnancy at this point. You can begin these treatments after the birth when you're ready.
- Always read the instruction on any products as they will state if their products are not suitable during pregnancy.
