My MO while pregnant with food, skincare, and everything else is to be as clean as possible but without driving myself crazy. It's easy to get overly obsessive and especially the second time around, I'm not letting myself go there.
What's on pause while pregnant: My beloved Retinol face and eye cream (which kills me), anything with salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide, essential oils (although it depends who you ask with this one, I avoid them 90% of the time to be safe), gel manicures, chemical sunscreen, and micro-current facials which isn't really an issue anyway given the pandemic.
