About Zen Pregnancy
Zen Pregnancy Beauty addresses the numerous skin challenges that pregnant individuals face, such as heightened sensitivity, hormonal breakouts, oily skin, dryness, bloating, hyperpigmentation (melasma), and changes in texture or elasticity. This gentle treatment soothes and treats acne flare-ups and increased sensitivity to skincare ingredients.
Why Choose Zen Pregnancy Beauty?
Navigating skincare treatments during pregnancy can be daunting, especially with concerns about safety for both you and your baby.
It is natural and instinctive to get curious about whether something you do can significantly affect your unborn baby.

- Mask: Calms and hydrates the skin.
- Moisturization: Locks in hydration with a pregnancy-safe moisturizer.
Safety of Facials During Pregnancy
Yes, it is safe to get facials during pregnancy, provided they are basic treatments without chemicals or electric currents. Safe options include hydrating facials, collagen facials, oxygen facials, steam facials, LED facials, enzyme peels, and extractions.
Can you get microdermabrasion if you are pregnant?
Sadly, no. Microdermabrasion while pregnant isn’t safe because this treatment is likely to scar your extra-sensitive pregnant skin. Besides scarring, microdermabrasion while pregnant may cause breakouts and uneven results.
Is it safe to get a chemical peel while pregnant?
The skin is super sensitive and easily irritated during pregnancy, so it is best if you stay away from abrasive facials and chemical peels when pregnant.
There are safer alternatives for facial hair removal (like threading, for instance) that you can try in lieu of potentially harmful laser facial hair removal treatments.
So NO, it’s not a good idea to try laser facial hair removal while you’re pregnant.
Exfoliating facial :
For Mamas who are coping with dryness, or dullness, an exfoliating facial in pregnancy is perfect for you.
While treatments like microdermabrasion are not recommended for pregnant women, inquire about mild facial scrubs or consider a pregnancy-safe AHA like glycolic acid or lactic acid.
Deep cleansing:
If you have especially problematic skin, try a deep cleansing treatment. This generally includes exfoliation, extraction of blemishes and massage, followed by a healing mask and moisturizer.
