Demystifying Pregnancy Skincare feat. Amy Koberling, PA

In my follow-up conversation with Amy Koberling PA, The Skinthusiast, we talked about all things pregnancy skincare. The conversation covered our experiences with pregnancy myths about products, skincare treatments, and even food. Amy shared her professional opinions about why expecting moms don’t need brand new skincare routines, dietary books she recommends for those who are trying or expecting, gestational diabetes, and what current research says about retinoids, sunscreen, and more. The information in this episode is for informational purposes. It is not a substitute for personalized and professional medical advice. 

Tune in as we discuss: 

• Context for why retinoids are generally not considered pregnancy safe 
• Using lower concentrations of some ingredients versus eliminating them entirely
• The ethical dilemmas that prevent research and testing on pregnant women
• What we don’t about how red light therapy can affect babies during pregnancy
