Cosmetics and pregnancy...

im currently using some products here, made in usa, called the hollywood style products, they have a whitening range, acne range, etc dont know if they have it in uk, but its an american company.

anyway, so are these ok to use during preg, on face, its masks and stuff i use. and its only twice a week…?

Re: Cosmetics and pregnancy...

they say salicylic acid is a no no for pregnant women...oops....: Im sure mine has it....

Re: Cosmetics and pregnancy...

call them and check with them, or read the literature to confirm.

Re: Cosmetics and pregnancy...

ask your doctor. salicylic acid, retin a, benzoyl paroxide..all should be avoided. since you mentioned whitening products, hydroquinine should also be avoided.

Re: Cosmetics and pregnancy...

i have heard about retin A being avoided the most. Salicylic acid doesn't harm you if an ingredient in creams used topically.
