Which sunscreen should you use when you're pregnant?
During pregnancy, your skin can become more sensitive and more prone to pigmentation (such as melasma). That’s exactly why sunscreen is one of the most valuable steps in your routine. And, of course, it’s completely understandable that you want to be sure your SPF is a comfortable and safe choice.
What should you avoid applying during pregnancy?
General guideline (and when in doubt, always check with your doctor or midwife): many people avoid retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) during pregnancy. Strong actives can also feel more intense because your skin may be extra sensitive.
