Hey beautiful Ladies! So my husband and I just found out we will be having baby #2!! However, my skin got wonderful with the pregnancy skin care I did last time, but it was summer. Are there any good exfoliators, scrubs, masks moisturizers etc. For me to try or use? I have normal oily dry sensitive skin all going on.
Also is toner going to be safe to use? Cuz I just want to make sure I'm being safe for baby. :) thank you all

Have you spoken to your doctor yet about the list of things you cannot put on your skin?
I believe Salicylic Acid is one of them... I'd check in first as a lot of ingredients are derived naturally as well ( Salicylic Acid is present in Aloe Vera, Tomato, Willows Bark etc..) I'd check with your doctor first.

I agree with kitty. There are many different things you can use.
A cleanser that I used that is 100% natural is from Burt's bees, facial cleanser orange essence

Organic apple cider vinegar is an amazing toner! I use it all the time and since I've started using it my akin has never been better. I'm currently pregnant with #2 also (17 weeks today!) this pregnancy has been the worst for my skin! I've never had acne in my life but it has been consistent with this pregnancy. I use aveeno (pure radiance?) daily exfoliating cleanser and apple cider vinegar applied with cotton rounds. rinse the vinegar off with cool water pat dry and apply your favorite moisturizer! if you want to find an all natural cleanser but also want to exfoliate, I bought a nice inexpensive facial brush at sephora it was only $6-$8 I believe. but also I've found that just using a regular wash cloth gently in small circles has worked effectively for me. But always I tell all my mommy friends when in doubt ask your doc, and listen to what he/she says.
