Skin can feel more reactive during pregnancy. Keeping your routine simple, unscented, and consistent may reduce avoidable triggers.

Quick summary

  • Skin can feel more reactive during pregnancy. Keeping your routine simple, unscented, and consistent may reduce avoidable triggers.
  • Why skin can feel more reactive during pregnancy: Hormonal shifts can change moisture levels and skin tolerance, so products that once felt fine may suddenly feel too strong, fragranced, or drying.
  • A minimalist unscented routine: Use a gentle cleanser, then apply a thin layer of whipped tallow cream to slightly damp skin. Keep the routine short and avoid adding multiple new products at once.
