During pregnancy, acne flare-ups are unfortunately quite common. All your extra pregnancy hormones are behind the breakouts. In the past, you may have reached straight for the salicylic acid (a powerful acne-fighting ingredient) but now that you’re pregnant, you should reach for something else. Dermatologist, Dr Leona Yip, explains more…

Is topical salicylic acid safe to use during pregnancy?
“Some experts think it is safe to use a low concentration topical salicylic acid in small amounts on the skin during pregnancy, as it is unlikely to cause harm since very little is absorbed into the body,” says Dr Yip. “Truth is, we don’t have reliable data to confirm this as we can’t ethically conduct studies that treat pregnant women with topical SA just to see if it causes harm to their baby. Therefore, to be completely safe it is better to avoid using topical SA during pregnancy if better alternatives are available. Always check with your doctor.”
If salicylic acid is unsafe to use during pregnancy, are there acne-fighting alternatives pregnant women can use instead?
“Firstly, it is important to maintain a good skincare regime with cleansing and moisturising in the morning and evening. If you don’t moisturise, your skin produces more oil that can aggravate acne,” says Dr Yip. “Dairy and sugar-based foods may aggravate acne and reducing their intake may be helpful. There are actually very limited acne treatment options that are deemed completely safe during pregnancy. Products containing benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin and erythromycin are thought to be safe to use as no adverse outcomes have been reported. If treatment is needed for more severe acne during pregnancy, oral erythromycin antibiotic is usually deemed the safest choice. Light-based and laser treatments are safe (but expensive) and are being increasingly offered to control acne when more effective treatments cannot be used during pregnancy. Acne treatment during pregnancy should always be done under medical supervision by your GP or dermatologist.”
What sort of products would you recommend pregnant women use in their skin care routine?
“There is no skincare regime specifically recommended for pregnant women, so stick with the usual regime that works unless it contains Vitamin A-based retinoids commonly found in anti-aging skincare that are best avoided during pregnancy,” explains Dr Yip. “In addition to twice a day cleansing and moisturising, sun protection with daily sunscreen of at least SPF30 is very important as many pregnant women develop melasma (patchy brown facial pigmentation) that is sun-aggravated.”

How long after being pregnant can women start to use salicylic acid products again?
“After the baby is born, topical SA can be safely resumed anytime as it is safe during breastfeeding,” Dr Yip advises.

You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr. Odunga.
When I met Dr.Odunga, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman of 41 and I have been married for 21 years. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age until when I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after 5 months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me with child. He did the spell and sent me the natural herbs for fertility that I will use and immediately I used this medicine, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a baby girl. Presently, I am a mother of a beautiful girl and I am happy in my marriage. This is all thanks to Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Dr. Odunga Via Whats App number +2348167159012.

My name is MELISSA JAMES. I was married for 13 years. My marriage has been deteriorating for some time so it was bound to unravel. I was his loyal, faithful, supportive and trusting Wife. He had an additional wild side that went out of control. The last incident is when I found out that he was having an affair 2 weeks before our 14th wedding anniversary. Out of the blue my husband just sprung the divorce talk on me. I was so hurt and being an independent woman, I thought I could cope with being single. It was so hard to move on so I had to reach out for help online. Our marriage and family therapists thought that “something” was not right about my husband. I went online and I found out about Dr. DAVID and his good spell work reviews.

I suggest the use of this provider in case you need to quick write or finish a written mission (for example – essay). From my own experience, i will say that to write a exceptional essay, you want to spend quite a few time. for the reason that I work, I don’t have sufficient unfastened time, so I sometimes use this service. the level of essays from essay writer service is high and i used to be able to successfully skip these assignments at the university. extremely good nice paper at an excellent rate!
