Is bleaching face okay during first trimester or not?

Hmmm well I was wondering if I can bleach my face or not

Re: Is bleaching face okay during first trimester or not?

  • Umm, are you planning on creating your own home-bleaching application? Then definitely no, not safe.
    Or are you doing this in a salon? Even still, I'd go with avoiding at least in the first trimester.

    I'd say no, your pores will absorb it and it will go into the bloodstream. This is why we can't dye our hair. Also, Baby is connected to our blood supply, as our blood carries the oxygen it needs. Your baby would possibly take in the toxins, avoid breathing in harsh chemicals such as bleach. We are not professionals so maybe it's best to talk to your doctor. My instincts say no! But maybe there is a soloution out there that caters for pregnant woman. Good luck! :)

  • I never noticed an increase of hair...now I also have blonde body hair so it might be different for darker hair types.....but idk.

    You could try a lip wax instead. Painless and lasts a long time. 

    ETA: Okay, not painless, but it doesn't hurt very bad.

    Actually this is debatable. I went to an early pregnancy class at my doctor's office during my first pregnancy and the teacher told us that dying your hair is fine. However, many women have an aversion to the smell of hair dye so obviously if the smell makes you sick then you probably shouldn't do it.

    Shaving does not make hair grow darker or more coarse. It exposes the thicker part of the follicle. You can shave it if you like. I usually wax it, but my skin reacts differently when I'm pregnant  & I break out terribly, so regular wax is out. I'm going to try hard wax before I shave/tweeze it for the next 9.

    Also. you can color your hair during pregnancy, as long as the dye is not ammonia based. The recommendation is to wait until you are past 1st tri.

  • Find a sugaring salon in your area if you can. Most hair removal products contain chemicals you don't want near your body, especially when you're pregnant. Sugaring is a safe and almost pain free way to remove unwanted hair anywhere on the body and it is natural. Just sugar, lemon and water.
