My name is Meghan – I am a first time mom-to-be, 7 months pregnant, and here to vouch from my first hand experience about getting a pregnancy safe facial at DeRiah. You can even come along with me in my facial vlog here!
Being pregnant is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to some much needed TLC. I mean, you are growing a human, you deserve it! A relaxing, effective pregnancy safe facial is the perfect place to start… and to be even more specific, the Hydropeptide Facial at DeRiah is the actual perfect place to start to give you healthy, glowing skin while baby steals all of your nutrients.
Let’s start with the basic benefits of getting a safe facial while pregnant:
- Helps fade the appearance of melasma and hyperpigmentation
- Brightens dull, hormonally affected skin
- Provides antioxidant protection against environmental damage
- Supports healthy collagen without aggressive exfoliation
- Helps provide relaxation and comfort
When you book a Hydropeptide Facial at DeRiah you will start out with a consultation to go through what trimester you are in, and sensitivities or allergies, skin concerns, any restrictions indicated by your OBGYN and your current skincare routine. From there you will move into the star of the show, the facial itself. Not all facials may be exactly the same based on your consultation but you can expect a similar experience. Here’s how my facial with Emma went step-by-step with the products used:
Pre-cleanse – gets rid of makeup, dirt or toxins.
Makeup Melt: Removes all types of makeup, Hydrates and locks in moisture, Protects and nourishes skin
Second Cleanse – gets rid of remaining impurities without stripping the skin of dehydration.
Cashmere Cleanse: This comforting cleanser gently whisks away impurities without stripping or drying the skin. Hydrolyzed milk proteins provide balancing nutrients while rose water and aloe vera soothe and comfort. Skin is left feeling beautifully dewy and perfectly moisturized
Exfoliation – used pregnancy-safe products to improve skin radiance, promote an even complexion and enhance the appearance of healthy, glowing skin.
- Vitamin C Peel 1: microdermabrasion crystals that leave rough, lackluster skin looking luminous.Effectively exfoliates by sloughing away dead skin cells, nourishes for a healthy glow. (Pregnancy safe benefits: vitamin c (MAP), no retinoids, gentle resurfacing)
- Honey Trizyme: Enzymatic exfoliation, smooths texture, brightens skin naturally, hydrates while exfoliating.
