During pregnancy, most pregnant women will inevitably undergo physical and psychological changes. Expectant mothers will become more cautious about all products used on the skin, because the baby will absorb everything the pregnant mother eats and uses. To be the healthiest and most beautiful pregnant mother inside and out, you must choose skin care products carefully. How should pregnant women choose skin care products? Take a look at the following 5 major skin care focuses and beauty secrets during pregnancy, so that the baby and mother can grow up healthily together!
Understand the 5 key points of skin care during pregnancy, DOs & DON'Ts!
Pregnancy skin care focus 1: Protect your skin from pollution
During pregnancy, due to hormonal or endocrine changes, the skin will become more sensitive, especially the poor air quality on the street will directly damage the skin barrier of pregnant mothers. Dear expectant mothers, you should build a protective shield for your skin, resist external pollutants that may cause skin sensitization, and be in a good mood every day to protect the pregnancy!
Pollution Shield removes air pollutants!
GLOWBIOTICS®️ All-Weather Anti-Pollution Firming Essence helps your skin build a protective shield to remove all external air pollutants. One bottle can ❶ isolate pollution, ❷ anti-aging, ❸ firm contours, ❹ anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation. Continuous use for 4 days can strengthen the skin barrier. The signature PDBs probiotic ingredient is added to balance the skin's microecology and resist foreign pollutants in the air. Even if there are changes in hormones or endocrine system during pregnancy, the skin will not be allergic.
Key point of skin care during pregnancy 2: Do a good job of sun protection!
Pregnant women may develop hormonal spots due to emotional stress and hormonal changes during pregnancy, so it is very important to do a good job of sun protection to avoid making the spots darker.
100% choose physical sunscreen!
Physical sunscreen uses the mirror principle to reflect and refract UVA/B. The sunscreen ingredients will not penetrate the skin, greatly reducing skin irritation. On the contrary, many chemical sunscreens are hormone disruptors, which are likely to affect the healthy development of the fetus after penetrating into the skin. GLOWBIOTICS®️ all-physical antioxidant sunscreen SPF30 is 100% physical, with high safety and stability, especially suitable for sensitive skin and pregnant women.
Pregnancy skin care key 3: Avoid using the whitening ingredient "hydroquinone", which is irritating and can cause allergies!
Many people have always been skeptical about whitening ingredients, believing that whitening products are not suitable for people with sensitive skin or pregnant women. However, as long as safe and harmless ingredients are selected, pregnant women or people with sensitive skin can still use whitening products. However, there are indeed many whitening ingredients on the market that can easily cause skin allergies, especially "Hydroquinone", which is a long-standing freckle removal drug that can interfere with the formation of melanocytes. Because it is toxic, these allergenic ingredients should be avoided.
Safe whitening product choice: Vitamin C
GLOWBIOTICS®️ Vitamin C Watery Brightening Essence combined with probiotic vitamin C is beneficial to the skin and is suitable for people with all skin types, including pregnant women, sensitive skin, and those with rosacea or acne. There is no need to worry about skin problems after use, but it will have a soothing effect.
Pregnancy skin care focus 4: What products are the safest for eliminating acne?
DON'T : Do not use retinol skin care products because it may cause teratogenesis!
DON'T : It is forbidden to use Benzoyl peroxide products. There is no medical data to support that they are completely harmless to pregnant women. This ingredient is particularly common in acne treatment products, so expectant mothers should avoid it.
The secret to acne and inflammation: probiotics + 2% salicylic acid
During pregnancy, if pregnant mothers suddenly develop acne or have been troubled by acne problems, we recommend using salicylic acid products to treat acne. Medically proven, 2% salicylic acid is safe for pregnant mothers!
GLOWBIOTICS®️ Salicylic Acid Antibacterial Acne Essence can completely solve the following four causes of acne:
- Excessive oil secretion

Pregnancy skin care focus 5: How to fight aging during pregnancy?
Anti-aging is the most important aspect for most people, but not all anti-aging ingredients are suitable for pregnant women, especially retinol skin care products (Retinol). "Vitamin A", which is regarded as a panacea, is never recommended for pregnant women because it may cause fetal deformity.
Anti-aging nourishing oil that replaces vitamin A
Although pregnant mothers cannot use vitamin A, GLOWBIOTICS®️ has launched an all-in-one anti-aging nourishing oil to specifically take care of pregnant women’s anti-aging skin care. It does not contain retinol, but uses (Renovage + Bakuchiol) ingredients to create a natural and powerful anti-aging combination that can slow down the aging of skin cell DNA, smooth fine lines and enhance skin translucency. All pregnant women can experience anti-aging skin care during pregnancy.
The old-fashioned but sure-fire natural beauty tips:
1. Go to bed early and get up early
Before the baby is born, he follows the mother's life rhythm in the womb. Going to bed early and getting up early is best for the baby's physical and brain development. Staying up late during pregnancy not only makes the skin more fragile, but also affects the development of the baby in the belly. Generally speaking, the ideal sleep arrangement is to go to bed before 11 o'clock every day, enter 8-9 hours of deep sleep, and then take a 1-2 hour nap. In addition, during the sweet sleep process, it is best to turn off all light sources, which is also beneficial to the fetus' perception!
2. Exercise moderately
After 3 months of pregnancy, when the fetus is relatively stable, pregnant mothers can gradually start regular exercise, which is not only beneficial to the fetus, but also for the healthy growth of pregnant mother and baby. Under the guidance of professional instructors, walking, prenatal yoga and Pilates are all suitable exercises during pregnancy.
