froggy994 · June 2015

I use cetaphil.

Kiek · June 2015

Dr Bronner's Magic Castile Soap! Mix with baking soda to expholiate

then moiserize with organic coconut oil and pure Shea butter. It is amazing!

rspalding001 · June 2015

I use Burts Bees and Nutragena Naturals

kayjay44 · June 2015

Anything is fine as long as it is doing the job. As my doctor said, as long as you're not eating it, you're fine. Skin absorption is minimal.

That said, I use a combination of Cetaphil and Neutrogena with a Clarisonic. It's the only thing that keeps my hormonal acne (which I only have while pregnant) in check.

I currently use cetaphil with my clarisonic brush, which I'm really not a fan of (the wash, not the brush). I previously used Philosphy Purity but opted for a cheaper option. I think when my bottle of cetaphil is done I'll switch back.

This is good to read/hear. I recently got scared of using my body wash that has 2% salicylic acid in it bc I heard you're supposed to steer clear.

I'm in the very beginning of reading "Expecting Better," I wonder if she touches on this topic in that book.

I was worried about that last time too (until my doctor basically calmed me the f*ck down and told me I would be fine). Unless you're using prescription strength, it's not going to do anything. Just try not to get it in your mouth. But even if you do, as long as it's a small amount, you'll be fine.

I'm halfway through Expecting Better- I'm loving it!

I like Nutragena Naturals.

PaniaO · June 2015

Manuka or any raw honey :bz

breanna86 · June 2015

I use raw honey and it is awesome

camusoh2011 · June 2015

Any particular reason for changing? If it's purely pregnancy related then I say keep using what you were using. If you dislike it or it isn't working then /\ what they said.

BFF (Best Face Forever) by Perfectly Posh! It's a naturally based product that smells amazing and really wakes me up in the AM which has been great for me with not feeling the greatest from symptoms. Check it out!

minivanmafia · June 2015

Nice suggestions... Apparently I live in a jungle because I havnt heard if the majority of these. I'll have to pay more attention in the face wash isle, I normally just grab the cheapest thing and jet outta there.

ACleanLife24 · June 2015

Coconut Oil or Raw Honey for full on wash, sugar scrub in the shower couple of times a week... sensitive baby wipes for a quick rub on the run

blueberrymomma · June 2015

Ive used philosophy purity since before my first. I love it because it's gentle and doesn't have a strong fragrance. Their facial scrub is also great as well as Hope in a Jar face loition. They are more pricey compared to the grocery store but my husband and I can both share the large bottle for a year

doccarolynb · June 2015

I found a great beauty product line called Belli, I think it was on this app, has a 20% discount. All products tested for safety in pregnancy, no parabens etc. Products smell really good too!

starsinnight · July 2015

I'm obsessed with becoming all green and natural due to hazardous chemicals that I never knew were in sooo many beauty products. When I downloaded the Think Dirty app I couldn't believe it. I definitely recommend looking at how things rate, even aveeno and ceraphil have harmful chemicals.

I totally recommend the Acure organic brand for face wash, skin creams, shampoo, & conditioner and they are all sold at Target now

and they each are affordable prices about $9.99

Shatzegirl · July 2015

I use Avalon Organics Lavendar Facial cleansing milk. I love Acure Brightening Facial Scrub. I also love using unrefined coconut oil for a face moisturizer.

mrsjames91209 · July 2015

RD Alchemy is what I swear by! It's a shop in San Diego but you can order her products online. It's the best!

RN0107 · July 2015

I use a mix of coconut oil and baking powder.

Topits · July 2015

Love all these suggestions!! Kind of along the same topic, what are you using for makeup? I have some friends who didn't change their makeup routine at all (typical drugstore makeup) and then some friends who went like all natural vegan BB creams and foundations. Thoughts?

gigi4487 · July 2015

I get Birchbox and try all the ones they give me as a sample! I love all the products I get! Top line for $10!

I haven't changed my routine yet, but honestly, I'm not much for a makeup wearer anyway..I have tarte amazonian clay foundation I'll occasionally use. In this heat though I've mostly stuck with tinted moisturizer when I've absolutely had to have makeup on...

I wear bronzer and a little eye makeup (light eye shadow, tightlined eyeliner, and mascara). Not changing anything.

Shatzegirl · July 2015

For makeup I love Gabriel Cosmetics and Mineral Fusion. No nasty chemicals or animal testing!

ashton2190 · July 2015

I went from using garnier foaming wash (it's got pomegranate and grapefruit I think) to yes to tomatoes. The garnier wasn't doing anything for the acne on my chest and the new stuff seems to be helping. As far as makeup is concerned, no changes here

RachelR17 · July 2015

Thank you all! I got the Neutragena Naturals. Both the facial wash and scrub...and they seem to be working great!

starsinnight · July 2015

I'm switching to all natural makeup but started doing that pre-pregnancy. I love the 100% Pure online brand - they have everything & the products are so beautifully packaged and made with fruit pigments, are vegan, & cruelty free. They make everything you could want for natural makeup. I figure the less chemicals the better. Also get the Think Dirty free app! It rates all beauty products 1-10 with how much toxins are in them!!
