Pregnancy can be a challenging time for women; during this phase, we go through many changes in our life, including physical changes. Therefore, during this time period, it is crucial that we take care and pamper ourselves even more, and hence a facial is a great option!


Especially because our skin is extra sensitive due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. For those with eczema, it may become worse, and other than that, there are some ingredients or products prohibited by gynecologists when women are pregnant or lactating. It is important to find a spa that offers pregnancy facials and is equipped with the right skincare products that do not contain any harmful ingredients.
