As with all spa treatments, it is perfectly ok to have a facial during pregnancy, but there are certain products and treatments that are best avoided until after you’ve had your baby. Many spas will be able to adapt most of the facials on their treatment menus for women during pregnancy, and if you would like to see if that’s possible, then it’s best to contact the spa ahead of your visit to speak to a therapist and see what they recommend. To really keep it safe, it’s best to opt for a dedicated prenatal facial, and most spas now offer a variety of really lovely options using approved products and techniques. Although there are no known negative side effects to using a facial peel during pregnancy, facial peels are not recommended during pregnancy. The increased sensitivity of skin during pregnancy can result in additional breakouts from the chemicals used as part of the facial peel.
