For many expectant mothers, a big concern is often “is this safe for my baby?” When it comes to skincare or medspa treatments, women are typically limited in what is safe during pregnancy. Doing your research is important, and with the right guidance from a skin care professional, you can find a variety of products that can be beneficial and safe for your skin both during and post-pregnancy.
