6 REASONS WHY A PREGNANCY FACIAL IS THE PERFECT GIFT

2. PREGNANCY SAFE INGREDIENTS YOU CAN TRUST

Pregnant women need to be cautious with certain ingredients, and many facials include elements that may not be safe during pregnancy. As a pharmacist, I’ve helped many expecting mothers navigate skincare, so I know it’s crucial to use safe ingredients. There are some ingredients which are an absolute no-no in pregnancy, like retinoids, hydroquinones. But also, you want to minimise sensitising ingredient exposure wherever possible.

At QED Skincare, we’ve crafted our facials (and of course our products too) to avoid anything that could be potentially harsh or unsafe—no retinoids, salicylic acid, or synthetic fragrances. Instead, we use clean, plant-based, gentle ingredients that are both effective and safe for sensitive, pregnancy-prone skin.

3. HELPS MANAGE COMMON PREGNANCY SKIN CHANGES

Hormones during pregnancy can bring a mixed bag of skin surprises—  They can cause dryness, sensitivity, breakouts, or pigmentation issues.  And apart from the hormonal swings, pregnancy can make women feel self-conscious about their appearance. 

A QED Skincare facial is specifically designed to address these unique needs, restoring balance and giving her that gorgeous glow. Our facials are carefully tailored, so whether she’s dealing with dryness or the occasional blemish, she’ll leave with skin that feels soothed, hydrated, and glowy. 

4. LUXURIOUS YET SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Expecting mothers often find their skin more sensitive than usual, so make sure you choose a salon that has products tailored for sensitive skin.

All QED Skincare products are crafted to handle sensitive skin with ease. Each product is plant-based and cruelty-free, made to feel as luxurious as it is gentle. Our facials are designed to be indulgent, giving her the chance to enjoy some well-deserved luxury that also respects her skin’s extra sensitivities.

5. IN PREGNANCY, SENSE OF SMELL IS OFTEN HEIGHTENED

In pregnancy, not only can the sense of smell be super strong, one can also have VERY strong aversions to certain scents.

One of QED Skincare's Unique advantages is that our clients scent tailor their treatments, choosing from our Scent Library.  And in fact, QED Skincare can deliver a fully unscented facial.

6. THOUGHTFUL GIFT FOR THIS STAGE

Choosing a gift that speaks to what she’s going through right now shows thoughtfulness, and a QED Skincare facial is tailored perfectly to her unique journey. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that a gift like this demonstrates understanding and care, providing real support for not just her skin but also her overall wellbeing. It’s a blend of science-backed ingredients and luxurious experience, showing her she’s cherished and supported at a time when she’s literally growing a human, even when she is asleep.
