Introducing the First Obstetrician Developed
Skin Care Regimen for Pregnant Women
What is Pregnancy Related Acne?
While pregnancy can be a wonderful and exciting time for women, skin changes are one of the hallmarks, with most women developing some form of acne during pregnancy. Pregnancy acne is most often the result of substantial hormonal increases, and can affect each woman in her own way. Oily skin and acne are very common and often a source of discomfort, embarrassment, low self-esteem and depression. Acne can begin to make itself apparent right away, or take its time, and it can last until even after delivery in some cases.
How does pregnancy acne differ from the kind found in adolescents?
Acne in pregnancy differs greatly from that encountered in the teenager. The pregnant woman often presents with comedones (blackheads) and papular lesions (small red bumps) on the lower face, chin and jaw. These are mostly superficial, as opposed to teenage acne which presents itself with deep cystic lesions (whiteheads) on the upper face and forehead. As these are two different conditions, they each dictate their own treatment approach.
Radiate an Unblemished Glow During Pregnancy
Now that you understand what causes skin changes in pregnancy, it becomes more clear why pregnant women should only use a skin care regimen developed specifically for them. Of course, there are many products on the market proven to be effective in treating acne, but many of those formulas contain chemicals that are not okay for pregnant women to use. Three of the main ingredients used to treat teenage acne are Accutane, Retin-A and Tetracycline. Each of these has been linked to negative fetal development when used by pregnant women.
Beauté de Maman Facial Scrub and Acne Cream Combo does not contain any of these potentially harmful ingredients often included in products made for teenage acne. Both the facial scrub and the cream contain tried and true herbal ingredients that combine into a powerful, pregnancy-acne fighting regimen that is completely safe to use during pregnancy, for both you and your baby.

Customer Reviews

The facial scrub was moisturizing and gave a clean, fresh feeling to my skin. The cream was not greasy, went on smoothly, could use it with regular moisturizer without it clashing.

When I was pregnant with my daughter my skin did not get that pregnancy glow. I broke out worse than ever! Since there are so many products you can’t use when pregnant I was eager to find something natural but effective to keep from getting the terrible breakouts and redness that I had the first round. I started using the facial scrub when I was about 5 months along. I really liked it because of the tiny micro beads sort of scrubbing feeling. They weren’t too large so they didn’t feel like it was too harsh. I ran out after about 2 months or so and I noticed my skin started to break out again so I immediately ordered a second batch. The face and body cream was my favorite, mostly because of the smell and the clean, fresh feeling. Not too oily and it didn’t tingle at all so I know it would also work for those with sensitive skin. It kept my skin glowing and clear and everyone knows when mom is happy, everyone is happy!
