Is it safe to have a facial during pregnancy?

Answer:

Hello. Well, you can have a facial depending on the treatment you're considering. If you're having a facial that includes things like dermabrasion, etc., I wouldn't do it. It also depends on what you are trying to achieve with the skin; during pregnancy your hormone levels are substancially higher than usual and therefore treatments may have unpredictable effects. When it comes to treating acne it can prove to be a little difficult. It may reduce the redness and irritation of acne, but you are better off waiting 'til you have had the baby and until you've ceased breastfeeding. Also, be wary of using any aromatherapy oils; sometimes they can cause problems during pregnancy. If you're getting a facial professionally, then the aesthetician should know the ins and outs of facials for pregnant women. If you have any more questions please contact me as I have been doing beauty therapy and I am also recognised in skin rejuvenation, etc., so please don't hesitate to ask. Thank You.
