Pregnancy is a time of major change – both emotional and physical.
Among these transformations, a mother-to-be’s skin also undergoes significant changes, often influenced by hormonal shifts.
At Clinique Del Mar, we understand the importance of self-care during this delicate period, especially as the skin becomes more sensitive and reactive to sunlight and certain treatments.

Skin Sensitivity During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, increased hormonal stimulation makes the skin particularly vulnerable to sun exposure.
One of the most common effects is the increased risk of pigmentation rebound, commonly known as the "pregnancy mask."
This phenomenon results from hyperpigmentation that makes the skin more sensitive and prone to overreacting to UV rays.
That’s why it’s essential to adopt a gentle and non-invasive skincare routine to safely navigate these changes.

Treatments to Avoid

During this time of increased skin sensitivity, some treatments that are usually safe may become inappropriate. It is recommended to avoid:

• Peels: While effective for skin renewal, they may be too harsh for the sensitive skin of pregnant women.

• Fruit acids (AHAs): Often used to exfoliate, they can cause adverse reactions during pregnancy.

• Radiofrequency: This skin rejuvenation treatment may pose risks for fetal development.

• Injectables: Some injectable substances should be avoided due to uncertainties regarding their safety during pregnancy.
