Pregnancy-Safe Skincare at Evergreen

Pregnancy can bring changes to your skin, from dryness and sensitivity to changes in oiliness and pigmentation. Finding skincare products that suit your changing needs doesn't have to mean completely overhauling your routine.

At Evergreen, explore a selection of skincare essentials for pregnancy, including gentle cleansers, moisturisers and everyday body care.

Choosing Skincare During Pregnancy

When choosing skincare products during pregnancy, it's worth looking beyond the claims on the front of the packaging and checking the ingredients.

A simple routine built around gentle cleansing, moisturising and daily sun protection can be a good starting point.

Not every product described as natural or organic is automatically suitable during pregnancy, so always consider the individual formulation.

Gentle Cleansers for Pregnancy

A gentle facial cleanser can help remove everyday impurities without leaving your skin feeling stripped or uncomfortable.

If your skin feels more sensitive than usual, consider mild, fragrance-free formulas that suit your skin type.

Moisturisers for Pregnancy

Dryness and sensitivity are common reasons to reconsider your moisturiser during pregnancy.

Look for formulas that help maintain skin hydration and support the skin's moisture barrier. Ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid and ceramides are commonly used in moisturising skincare.

Body Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy can also change how the skin on your body feels. Moisturising body lotions, creams and oils can help keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Choose products according to your skin's needs and check the individual ingredients, particularly when selecting highly fragranced products or essential oil blends.

Which Skincare Ingredients Should I Avoid During Pregnancy?

Certain skincare ingredients require additional caution during pregnancy. Retinoids, including retinol and prescription tretinoin, are generally advised against during pregnancy. Hydroquinone is also usually avoided.

Other ingredients, including stronger exfoliating acids and some acne treatments, may require individual advice depending on the formulation, concentration and how they're used.

If you're unsure about a particular ingredient, speak to your pharmacist, GP or maternity healthcare professional.

Build a Simple Pregnancy Skincare Routine

A straightforward routine may be all your skin needs:

1. Cleanse with a gentle product suited to your skin type.

2. Apply a moisturiser to help maintain hydration.

3. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day.

4. Introduce new products gradually, especially if your skin has become more sensitive.
