Introduction
Pregnancy is a time of joy and transformation—but it can also bring new skincare challenges. Hormonal changes may lead to dryness, acne, or increased sensitivity. Choosing the right pregnancy skincare routine is essential to protect both mother and baby. The golden rule? Gentle care.
That’s why many expecting mothers turn to safe, non-irritating products—like Layan Essence Tissue, infused with moisturizing plant-based essence and designed to be soothing for delicate skin.
1. Understanding Pregnancy Skin Changes
• Dryness and Sensitivity: Hormonal shifts can weaken the skin barrier.
• Hyperpigmentation (Melasma): Dark patches may appear on the face.
• Breakouts: Pregnancy acne is common due to increased oil production.
• Stretch Marks: Often develop on the belly, thighs, or breasts.
2. Safe Ingredients During Pregnancy
✅ Good Choices:
• Hyaluronic acid (hydration)
• Vitamin C (brightening)
• Shea butter and natural oils (moisturizing)
❌ Avoid:
• Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives)
• Salicylic acid in high concentrations
• Hydroquinone
3. Building a Gentle Skincare Routine
• Cleanse softly: Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers.
• Hydrate generously: Apply pregnancy-safe moisturizers morning and night.
• Protect with SPF: Sunscreen is essential against pigmentation.
• Soothe sensitivity: Keep calming products on hand.
💡 Tip: During pregnancy, even tissues matter. Ordinary paper can feel harsh on sensitive skin. Layan Essence Tissue offers a gentle, silky touch with 30% moisturizing essence—perfect for wiping away impurities without irritation.
4. Managing Common Skin Concerns
• Acne: Use gentle, non-comedogenic products.
• Stretch Marks: Massage with safe oils or creams to improve elasticity.
• Dryness/Redness: Keep skin hydrated and avoid harsh scrubs.
5. Self-Care Beyond Skincare
• Drink plenty of water.
• Eat nutrient-rich foods for skin health.
• Get enough rest—your skin reflects your overall wellbeing.

Consistent sun protection and hydrating skincare help minimize dark patches.
