Congratulations, mama-to-be! And good for you, looking out for the health of your baby before it's even born. While the experience of pregnancy is different and personal for everyone, the one thing in common for all expecting ladies is that with pregnancy come a whole lot of changes — and among physical ones, you can expect changes in regard to your skin.

Specific ingredients are advised to be avoided, but there are plenty of pregnancy-safe skincare products out there that can help you maintain (or get) the glow, battle dark spots or acne (infamously worsening in some women during pregnancy), nourish, heal and guard your skin — in a way that's safe for your baby.
Vitamin C is a well-established, powerhouse nutrient in skincare products, offering numerous anti aging benefits, including fighting oxidative stress, promoting collagen synthesis, boosting glow, and fading discolorations. Because vitamin C is a key player in collagen production, it can help improve skin elasticity and firmness, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and even work to prevent stretch marks. And that's not all — vitamin C can also help protect our skin against sun damage and environmental stressors, leading to a brighter, more even complexion. Vitamin C can work wonders for a variety of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture. By promoting collagen synthesis and inhibiting melanin production, it reduces the appearance of dark spots and brightens the complexion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
