During pregnancy and post pregnancy hormonal fluxes can cause many different skin conditions. From acne, uneven skin tones, to dryness and dullness, hormones can play havoc on our skin.
Acne and
melasma are particularly troubling during pregnancy. Instead of having the "glow" of pregnancy often times we are troubled with blemishes and
hyperpigmentation. Most products for these conditions are not safe to use during pregnancy, so it is important to know what you can use. There are a variety of products that are safe to use during pregnancy that are available at
skinfo®. Vitamin C is a melanin inhibitor and should be used in the morning as a "boost" to your SPF.
SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF is an ideal Vitamin C. As an antioxidant it helps treat free radicals caused by UVA and UVB exposure. Phloretin CF is also known to decrease hyperpigmentation and increase cell turnover, which in turn causes a brightening of your overall skin. For treating blemishes, cleanse with
