Prenatal Facial: What It Is & Why It Helps

A prenatal facial is a gentle, pregnancy‑safe skincare treatment designed to address the unique changes that happen to the skin during pregnancy, like increased sensitivity, breakouts, dryness, or melasma.

It focuses on soothing, hydrating, and balancing the skin while avoiding ingredients and techniques that aren’t recommended during pregnancy.

What a Prenatal Facial Typically Includes

1. Gentle Cleansing & Skin Assessment

Your esthetician evaluates pregnancy‑related changes such as sensitivity, congestion, or dryness and adjusts the treatment accordingly.

2. Mild Exfoliation (Enzyme‑Based)

Fruit enzymes like papaya, pumpkin, or pineapple are commonly used to brighten and smooth without irritation.

3. Light Extractions (If Appropriate)

Performed gently to avoid inflammation, since pregnancy can make skin more reactive.

4. Hydrating + Nourishing Masks

Deep hydration helps with tightness, flakiness, and dullness—common pregnancy complaints.

5. Facial Massage (Often Lymphatic)

Helps reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.

6. Pregnancy‑Safe Moisturizers & Serums

Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe, vitamin E, and calming botanicals are typically used.
