Hi all! I had a panicked thought earlier today wondering if I should be changing my makeup (currently use Mary Kay and Bare Essentials, as well as Neutrogena face wash). I then drove myself crazy researching everything we should and shouldn't be using.. does anyone do any makeup or lotion shifts when pregnant (or plan to)? All insight appreciated!!
Re: Makeup Changes?
i discovered Beauty Counter during my last pregnancy...cool skin care line (and makeup) that is pregnancy safe. They rigorously gonover the ingredients in their products and list what they do.

I also never thought about my makeup. There are so many things to worry about that I never gave a second thought to my entire life!

But, from what I've been reading it's skin care, hair dye, and nail treatments.. which I don't really use. I'll check my facial cleanser, but I use Soap and Glory, which I don't think has any type of acid or anything in it.

I will say it's probably not necessary to change anything, but I'm the type of person where if anything goes wrong I'm gonna blame myself. So I want to eliminate as many things as I can ahead of time just to potentially save myself a little heartache if something were to happen.

Coconut Oil gals - how do you use it as moisturizer? Do you melt it first? How much do you use?

Anyway, I don't use anything on my face or hair or body that would be considered toxic. I'm pretty conscious of chemicals and animal testing without being pregnant, I can't focus on it while pregnant!
