Has anyone had a facial while BFing..

I avoided facials when I was pregnant b/c I was nervous they would be using something not recommended (i.e. Vit. A, retinol, etc)...however, I have been yearning for one lately.  

Is there anything you should avoid while BFing?  Should I even mention it them when I go in?  I'm probably reverting back to the first tri worry period by asking this, but figured it's better safe than sorry.

    Maybe I'm an idiot about this... but unless you're getting a facial on your boobs... I fail to see how it could affect BFing in any way.

    It's just up in the air about different topical "chemicals" being able to penetrate your skin and affect your milk...like how they say to avoid Salicylic acid and Vit A during pregnancy...like I said, I'm probably overly paranoid.

    I had one, and they knew I'd just had a baby 4 weeks earlier, and they didn't say anything about it. 

    I am getting a Keratin treatment on my hair tomorrow and am slightly nervous, but I really can't imagine that anything going on my hair will really effect my milk!

    keratin has a small amount of formaldehyde, might want to check. I only know because I did the Copolla Keratin treatment in my 3rd tri because I was told it was safe...my hairdresser was also pregnant and we ended up calling Copolla who said they would advise against it...not sure about BFing but I've been scared to try again.
