Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing! With learning that you have become pregnant can come a serious onslaught of questions and concerns. All of a sudden you realize that the choices you have been making from the food you eat to the products you use on your skin can make a difference in more than just your life. With the safety of your baby being paramount, it’s time to rethink your skincare routine.

You may already know that your skin is actually the largest organ in your body. It’s your first line of defense to protect your internal organs while also being able to absorb nutrients and chemicals into the bloodstream. That means that what you put on your skin matters. Not all products that you can buy are filled with wonderful ingredients that boost your well being unfortunately. So-

What skincare line is safe to use while pregnant?

We get asked this a lot and the answer is a quick one for us: Alastin Skincare. Everything from their skincare line, aside from their retinol (which to be clear we do not recommend any retinol products to be used during this time period), is safe to use while you are pregnant and during your breastfeeding stages.

All of their products feel like magic wonder potions but we especially like their moisturizers for daily use and post procedure care. Alastin Skincare’s moto is “Science-First Skin Care” as they focus on the science behind high quality ingredients combine to create superior products.

Many of their products utilize their patented TriHex Technology® which actually promotes the body to produce collagen and elastin resulting in the possibility of smoother, more even skin with continued use.

Here’s what Dr. Perich has to say about the TriHex Technology Alastin Skincare utilizes:

“I would totally rub this all over my body if I was pregnant! TriHex technology is going to increase collagen and elastin in the body by increasing the extracellular matrix activity in your body. What that means is that all the cells in your skin have space between them, its like a city. Normally as we age all of that stuff starts to pile up, the trash leaving all the garbage, the sewage, etc. as you age. Well, what that TriHex technology does is it takes the guys that take out the trash, fix the sewage, all that stuff and gets them back to work. So they clean up the town and everything looks much better. That’s the easiest way I can describe this!”

What’s great about Alastin is that they are doing and publishing scientific studies to actually show how and why their products will work.

Instead of seeing claims about results that may happen for you as well with pricey products that do not have the true science behind them, you get high quality you can trust.

“You can go on the Alastin website to see their scientific studies on how these products work. That’s really the big difference between going to Sephora or Ulta versus medical grade skincare. That’s what we look for, clinical scientific proof with companies who are doing their due diligence to make sure what you are spending your money on is actually doing what you want for your body.” Dr. Perich explains.

What kind of products does Alastin Skincare offer?

Alastin Skincare offers amazing facial moisturizers, a gentle cleanser, eye treatments, sunscreen, post-procedure aids, and body products. All back by extensive research and science. Some of the features that are commonly looked for in skincare like gluten-free, hypoallergenic, paraben free, non-comedogenic, and cruelty free, are features of their products.

The moisturizers are a true shining star in their lineup. Both for the body and the face, let’s take a look at these award winners:

Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer

This is like the holy grail of moisturizers- it’s thickness lets you know it is going to hydrate deep while nourishing with these ingredients: Linoleic Acid, Oat Kernel, Silver Mushroom and TriHex Technology®.

If you have sensitive skin, dry skin, and/or fine lines and wrinkles this is a great moisturizer for you.

Ultra Light Moisturizer

This moisturizer will knock your socks off with how light yet hydrating it is! As you can see in this image it is ALL the things while being perfect for sensitive skin or irritated skin while it soothes.

Ultra Light still has the patented TriHex Technology® which actually promotes the body to produce collagen and elastin resulting in the possibility of smoother, more even skin with continued use.

If you prefer a lightweight moisturizer over the rich cream the Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer, this Ultra Light is for you!
