  I'm using Belli face wash and Mario Badescu glycolic products for skincare. I'm not changing my make-up....mineral makeup doesn't work for me...it looks too dry and makes me look older,

  Why did you change cosmetics? My OB said the only thing I can't use is anything with Retin-A. He is even okay with salicylic acid in face wash. Not once have I thought about switching make up.

  At my old OB (I've moved since then, haven't had first appt with this pregnancy yet) I had to see the nurse practitioner for my first few appts. I brought in everything I was using on my face and body. I guess she was afraid of me coming back and suing or something but she wouldn't tell me that ANYTHING I was using was safe. She just pleaded the fifth. scared the hell outta me, so I went out and replaced my products. probably overkill but what would she expect a nervous new momma to be do?

  I am a little crazy when it comes to this.  I do have acne, just so you know.  I don't use anything that is deemed as cause reproductive birth defects according to https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/     So I use the Belli pregnancy line products to wash my skin.  I also use garden of eve skin care for their facial masks and they have a cleaner I use as an exfoliant.  I do not like garden of eve's skin care, as it is not moisturizing enough for me.  As far as make-up, I use Afterglow for my foundation and I use their eye concealer for acne flare-ups-I love it so much better than bare minerals. Have't found an eyeliner I love yet.  Hope this helps!!!!!

  I'm using aveeno face wash, Philosophy moisturizers (face and eye) and bare minerals and origins make up. My exfoliator is some sort of all natural green apple-oatmeal skin peel for sensitive skin. I stopped used anything with retin-a three months before we started trying, but also stopped using my face serum. I kept reading how your face gets more sensitive with pregnancy, and I figured I might as well. 

   I think you're probably fine with your normal products, aside from some acne products (can't remember which). If you want an all-natural makeup that's not a mineral makeup, then maybe try Origins. I find that bare minerals just doesn't last on my face in the winter, even with primer.

  Keep your products. I did. I stick with my regimen of MK face wash, moisturizer and Oil of Olay night cream. Makeup is the same, except, now that I'm prego, I rarely apply makeup daily. I'll only do it on the weekends, if I have somewhere to go. The only thing I've changed is my body lotion. I try to use something that is natural and loaded with vitamin E or aloe and that doesn't have much purfume. Hope this helps. Good luck.
