Best Anti Ageing Products When Pregnant

I LOVE vitamin A both in the forms of Retinol and Retinaldehyde. The effects this vitamin has on the skin is far superior in my eyes than any other ingredient I have ever come across. In the right dosage, along with other skin rejuvenators (such as copper, vitamin c, niacinamide etc) the results are clearly visible and long term.
What more could you ask for?

There are of course some facts one should know when using Vitamin A, for eg. Retinol can cause photo-sensitivity meaning your skin will burn a lot quicker than normal (when not using Vitamin A). Also, Vitamin A cannot be used when you are pregnant and breastfeeding. Please be aware that there are different types of Vitamin A. To ensure that you are getting the result as mentioned above you will need to be using a Vitamin A product from a medical skin care range such as Cosmedix or Osmosis. Vitamin A products that are available in department stores and supermarkets will not contain the percentage required to see an obvious change in the skin. This change is due to the normalizing action on the cells that vitamin A has. It stimulates collagen and elastin production very well. 

Ingredients such as Vitamin A are not advisable to use whilst pregnant and breast feeding. The 2 medical skin care ranges that I use personally and in my treatments, Osmosis and Cosmedix, have some alternatives for you to use whilst pregnant. Which is a relief for clients who have been on a consistently thorough skin care regime and do not want the hard work they have put in go to waste once they fall pregnant.

See below for my favourite skin rejuvenating, anti-ageing products that you can use safely whilst pregnant.
