Make up and bathroom products which to avoid?

[Jellybabie3]

Cant find advice on nhs?

As a rule, if the NHS don't advise against something then I don't worry about it. A lot of the warnings on forums don't have an evidence base to support them.

Thanks. I cant find anything about bathroom products on their website so i assume there are no issues then? I can ask midwife but not going for two weeks

I swapped all of my toiletries to natural, organic ones, and Wear gloves when cleaning, but i'm probably going over the top.

Retinol should be avoided but that's about it.

And just because a product is "natural" doesn't mean it's better!

Personally, I would assume not - and I'm not relaxed about the rules! I have friends who even stopped using deodorant when they were pregnant, but when pregnancy is so anxiety-provoking anyway I don't think there's a need to seek out more angst based on a random comment on a random forum (with no offence to comments on forums!)

You are supposed to avoid salycilic acid, dont know about anything else.

Paula Begoun has a good page on what to avoid, and her articles are always based on evidence.

The link posted about by Queen and a current thread on this page would argue otherwise for usual use:

Sorry, havea, I don't mean to single you out - just presented as a good example of how information spreads without an evidence base. It's why so many pregnant women are still avoiding peanuts!

I just carried on as normal.

Unless the NHS advised not to eat/drink/use/go near something I just did it.

Pregnancy is stressful and worrying as it is without worrying about makeup and products too.

Snap! I did the same as purplefizz.

Oh I also got a sanctuary gift set of a 'mum to be' range with bath soak, moisturise shower wash and a cream. Got this as a gift. It's midwife approved it says on the packaging so check that out.

Hope you can relax about it soon!
