Current Skincare Routine
This is what I’m currently using for skincare while breastfeeding / pumping. All of these products were okayed by my OB to use, but I always recommend checking with your doctor before using anything. When I am no longer breastfeeding / pumping, I plan to add retinol back in to help with anti-aging.
Revision Skincare Brightening Face Wash - I use this in the morning.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser - I use this at night.
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic - I apply 4 drops to my face, neck, and chest in the morning, immediately after cleansing my face.
Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating moisturizer - I’ve been using this for YEARS! Best moisturizer for combo / oily, acne-prone skin.
Biossance Squalane and Marine Algae Eye Cream - I apply this morning and night to my eye area. I can tell a difference in the darkness under my eyes if I skip this.
Elta MD UV Elements sunscreen - don’t skip on sunscreen!
Palmers Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Lotion - I used this throughout my entire pregnancy and continuing to use postpartum. Stretch marks are mostly genetic, but I do believe adequate water intake and hydrated skin also help.
