Things I only learned when I became a dermatologist — pregnancy edition 🤰✨
Pregnancy can completely change your skin, hair, and even your skincare routine.
Things I didn’t realize before becoming a derm:
• melasma gets triggered SO easily
• pregnancy acne is harder to treat than people think
• not all skincare is pregnancy-safe
• stretch marks are more genetic than most people realize
• postpartum hair fall can be intense but usually temporary
Sometimes the best pregnancy skincare routine is just:
cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen + patience 🤍
Save this for your future mommy friends 👶✨
