Is It Safe To Use Skincare During Pregnancy?
Yes, skincare can be a part of your routine during pregnancy; however, the selection of ingredients matters. Some ingredients are commonly advised to be avoided during pregnancy, such as retinoids in topical creams or serums, along with hydroquinone and high concentrations of salicylic acid. Certain essential oils may also need caution. AreoVeda formulates its range of skincare products for pregnancy without the commonly flagged ingredients, so expecting moms can choose skincare products with complete confidence.
A Pregnancy Skincare Routine, By Trimester
Skin during pregnancy can change from one trimester to the next. A safe skincare routine during pregnancy should focus on gentle cleansing, skin barrier support, and hydration while avoiding any harsh chemicals like retinoids or hydroquinone. A simple routine with gentle, naturally derived, and EWG-verified ingredients can help you adapt your skincare to the changes in your skin.
First Trimester: Keep it gentle while managing sensitive skin
The first trimester comes with surging progesterone and hCG hormones, causing an increase in sebum production, occasional hormonal acne, morning sickness, and high skin sensitivity. This is the time to keep your routine simpler with a gentle, pregnancy-safe face and body wash or a natural, 0-retinoid face serum that gives lightweight hydration. Avoid using too many products and introducing too many actives at once.
Second Trimester: Keep a watch on stretch marks and pigmentation
Your skin stretches rapidly during the second trimester, along with heightened pregnancy hormones that make stretch marks and melasma or hyperpigmentation quite common. This phase requires deep hydration, especially with a dedicated stretch mark routine and a pregnancy-safe, skin-hydrating, brightening serum that targets stretch marks and pregnancy pigmentation.
Third Trimester: Hydrate and stay consistent
During the final stretch of pregnancy, your skin changes significantly as your body prepares for birth. Unlike the second trimester, there's rapid expansion of the skin and hormonal shifts that may pull moisture away and leave your skin feeling dry and itchy. Consistent moisturisation and gentle skincare for the face are your best approach for hydrated skin. Continue your stretch mark care routine along with gentle facial skincare consistently.

Stretch Marks During Pregnancy
Growing skin during pregnancy can leave stretch marks on the belly, breasts, hips, and thighs. A consistent routine that includes pregnancy-safe stretch marks cream, roll-on serum, and a belly oil can hydrate skin, moisturize it deeply, and improve its overall appearance and texture. AreoVeda has a range of products formulated specifically for stretch marks, both old and new. Products like the Natural Belly & Body Oil, Stretch Marks Cream, and the Stretch Marks Roll On Serum help visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks in 4 weeks using ingredients like CryoCoffee, Striover™, Sweet Almond Oil, Sesame Oil, Gotu Kola, and PENTAVITIN® to support stretched, changing skin at every stage.
Pregnancy Acne
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can contribute to excessive oil on the face, which can even lead to constant breakouts. Choose a gentle and pregnancy-safe face wash that is lightweight and formulated without commonly flagged ingredients during pregnancy. AreoVeda Face and Body Foam Wash is designed to care for your skin and body throughout pregnancy, creating a simple, everyday routine in one self-foaming bottle.
Pigmentation & Melasma During Pregnancy
Pregnancy and hormone fluctuations can trigger increased pigmentation, including melasma, which is often referred to as the mask of pregnancy. It needs a gentle routine with a mild face wash paired with a pregnancy-safe pigmentation serum that can help care for uneven skin tone. AreoVeda provides Skin Brightening Serum, enriched with Bakuchiol & 24K Gold to visibly reduce dark spots and pigmentation. It is EWG-verified and suitable for all skin types.
Dry & Sensitive Skin During Pregnancy
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can leave the skin feeling dry, tight, and more sensitive than usual. Look for gentle cleansers and hydrating serums with skin-friendly and pregnancy-safe ingredients like PENTAVITIN®, Bakuchiol, and NaturePep® Pea Extract that are great alternatives to retinoids.
Oily & Combination Skin During Pregnancy
If your skin becomes oilier during pregnancy, avoid over-cleansing. A gentle, mild, and natural foam face wash can help with lightweight but intense hydration.
