Skincare during Pregnancy

Hi Mommies... I a FTM and am almost completing my first trimester. I was looking for creams that can help with the visibility of stretch marks. Any recommendations? Also, chance about topics on skincare during pregnancy. Anyone changed their facial routine or products during pregnancy? Im currently using SKII and Kielh’s morning and midnight oil. Thanks for sharing in advance!

I’ve been using Bio-oil since first trimester. At 36wks now and no stretch marks so far. It even helped with my itchiness which I experienced early in the first tri. I stopped using my pimple cream. The pimple cream was not recommended for pregnant ladies. For skincare if you are really unsure, you can ask your gynae. For me, I did my research online to see what the recommendation from the brand is.

You may consider clarin maternity care package : https://www.clarins.com.sg/gifts-sets/gift-sets-750/beautiful-mum-collection-80061238.html. s$185 and the sign up online with 10% OFF WITH MIN. $100 SPEND ON FIRST ONLINE.

Bio oil / Clarins for stretch marks. Watson’s or guardians u can find quite a few diff types of stretch marks. I didn’t change my skin care routine. Toner & moisturiser as usual (mine is for water based etc ) If you experience any break outs Use water based / alcohol free / fragrance free etc.

I used Palmers however stretch marks are largely due to genetic so not sure if anything can help. For skin care, I avoided products with AHA and used only mild products that don't contain alcohol & fragrance (Simple, Cetaphil) and minimize using makeup as well.

I was using Palmer's brand skin therapy oil when I was pregnant. After delivery, I had minimal stretch marks. As for make up & facial products, I avoided items with paraben as ingredients (shishedo & cetaphil moisturizer)
