Removing nails with acetone/ acne and other beauty related questions

I'm 5 weeks. I had acrylic nails put on for my wedding last month and had them filled 2x. Today I decided to have them removed at the salon. I'm feeling very nervous now because I soaked my fingertips for a few minutes in acetone to loosen them. Do you think this was safe or am I stressing for nothing?

Also I'm breaking out a bit from early pregnancy hormones. What are you ladies using? I know l some otc products are out.

Curious are you all ladies maintaining your normal beauty habits such as nails (manicures, acrylics) hair dying, skin etc?

Thanks ladies!

    You can loose them and they will come back don't worry, sore boobs left me about my 5th week and now I am beginning of my 7th week and voila they are back! I won't use nail polish except special occasions and won't dye my hair for the first trimester. About that Asethon I say don't worry that much but don't use it again.

    You'd need to worry more about acetone if you're chronically exposed to it, but occasional use doesn't seem to be an issue. I use it outside, but a salon should be well ventilated (acetone volatilizates pretty quick). Of course, for every article that says it's fine there's another that says to avoid it.
    I've been using Alba face wash and a teeny bit of benzoyl peroxide spot treatment for my fantastic (

    I use a lot of direct sale products (supporting working moms etc). Jamberry nail stickers don't have all the chemicals that nail polish does, are easy to remove (warm soapy water) and last a long time. As for skin care, the only thing that makes my skin happy is the timewise skin care collection from Mary Kay. I tried a ton of other products (even some really pricey ones) and this is the only one that helps me. I don't dye my hair, but I do change up my look with hair cuts. Since my hair grows a lot during pregnancy if there is an oops it doesn't last long. The only thing I really splurge on is the occasional pedicure. But I bring my own nail polish, and choose from one of the companies that doesn't use a lot of the chemicals.

    I wouldn't worry about a little acetone. I continue all my normal beauty habits except highlighting my hair. I waited until the end of the first trimester with DS and will do the same this time.
