7 TIPS FOR FACIALS IN PREGNANCY

2. SELECT A SALON THAT OFFERS PREGNANCY-FRIENDLY FACIALS 

When looking for a facial during pregnancy, choose a spa that tailors its skincare treatments to the needs of pregnant women.

In advanced pregnancy, women shouldn't lie on their backs for extended periods of time.  The head of the bed should be tilted up and bolsters should be placed under the knees.

QED Skincare’s pregnancy-safe facials, for example, are Pharmacist-crafted with safety and comfort in mind, ensuring that every Mum-to-be can enjoy a soothing, safe experience that leaves her skin feeling amazing.

3. TARGET SPECIFIC PREGNANCY SKINCARE CONCERNS

Pregnancy can trigger various skin changes like dryness, sensitivity, hormonal acne, and pigmentation (sometimes called “pregnancy mask”). Let your Beauty Therapist know if you’re experiencing any specific concerns so they can customise your facial. 

QED Skincare facials for pregnant women are designed to hydrate, brighten, and balance your skin to help you both feel your best and maintain a healthy, natural glow throughout pregnancy.

4. OPT FOR A DEEPLY HYDRATING FACIAL FOR PREGNANCY GLOW 

One common skin concern during pregnancy is dryness, so a hydrating facial is ideal for Mums-to-be. Choose facials that focus on nourishing, hydrating ingredients like Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and Cocoa Butter and other plant-based oils to lock in moisture and restore softness. 

Everything about pregnancy is dehydrating and once your baby gets here, the dehydration will reaches a whole new level.  Delivery is super-dehydrating.  Staying in hospital is super-dehydrating.  And breastfeeding is SUPER-dehydrating.  So now is the time to build your skin's resilience by increasing it's hydration.

QED Skincare’s hydrating facials are specifically formulated for sensitive skin, helping you achieve that luminous pregnancy glow.

5. SKIP SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES OR EVEN GO SCENT-FREE FOR EXTRA-SENSITIVE SKIN 

Pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive to certain ingredients, including synthetic fragrances. Look for facials that avoid artificial scents, as these can irritate sensitive pregnancy skin and trigger sensitivity. 

Your sense of smell can also go into hyperdrive, which is another reason to carefully choose your salon.

At QED Skincare, we use only naturally scented or fragrance-free products to ensure you enjoy a truly gentle, pregnancy-safe beauty treatment.

6. ENJOY A RELAXING, GENTLE FACIAL MASSAGE

Facial massages can boost circulation and leave you with radiant skin, perfect for enhancing your pregnancy glow. A gentle touch is key here; be sure to communicate any sensitivities to your beauty therapist so they can adjust the pressure as needed. 

QED Skincare facials include soothing massages tailored to sensitive skin to provide a truly relaxing experience.  All of our therapists are highly trained and have years of experience. (which is what you want when you are in a delicate condition)

 7.  MAKE IT A SELF-CARE RITUAL DURING PREGNANCY

Pregnancy is the perfect time to embrace self-care, and a facial can be a special moment of relaxation. Treat yourself to a pregnancy-friendly facial that feels as luxurious as it is safe. 

With QED Skincare’s pregnancy-safe facials, you’re not only treating your skin but creating a serene self-care ritual that celebrates you and your journey.  Once the baby comes, you will not have a moment to take care of yourself, so this is the time to be pampered.
