Tara and Dana's Must-Have Skincare Products to Use During Pregnancy

Exfoliating while pregnant has been a challenge, because many of the acids I typically reach for are off the table. I love this oat polish because it’s super gentle and is packed with physical exfoliants to gently buff off dead skin cells without any harsh chemicals.

This one is super moisturizing, but also a bit lighter than most face oils I’ve used. It smells like the prettiest orchid and feels super luxurious.

Some nights I fall asleep on the couch at 8pm, which has made this micellar water from Drunk Elephant especially valuable. I’m definitely guilty of using this in place of a proper face wash a few nights a week.

This one’s so clean you could probably eat it. I love that it moisturizes my dry lips and adds a subtle pink glow.

Shop the Super Salve

I use these products nightly in replace of Retinol. I love using them in tandem as it helps resurface, plump, and moisturize my skin overnight!

Shop the Booster Serum and Facial Oil

I use this facewash to replace my previous wash which contained salicylic acid. This was recommended by my Dermatologist to help combat the pregnancy-hormonal breakouts I was getting. Glycolic Acid, which is an AHA, is considered safe to use in lower concentrations.

I use this brightening formula in replace of my acne products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. I read that this was a must-have while pregnant to help clear skin, and I believe it’s working! I use it every morning and actually had my dermatologist prescribe me more potent Azelaic Acid for nighttime or targeted needs.

The Honest Company has a suite of products that are all pregnancy safe, and right now I am hooked on this ultra-refreshing body lotion.
