My Nighttime Skincare Routine for Clogged Pores & Melasma (Pregnancy Approved!) | Dr. Sam Ellis

I recently announced that my husband and I are expecting our first baby! With pregnancy, there are a few lifestyle changes you have to make and one of those is your skincare routine. This is especially the case if your skincare routine includes any retinoids that are not approved for use during pregnancy. Watch this video to see my current nighttime skincare routine for clogged pores and melasma.

Just found out I’m pregnant this morning! This was so helpful. I’ve been on a retinoid so I’ll be stopping that from here on out. Thanks for the info!

You are such a beautiful pregnant lady😊 All of these changes that you are experiencing with your skin are so cute to me, maybe because I admire pregnant women. But it literally warms my heart, I wish you the best pregnancy ❤

[Bigang]

Love she gets to the point and explains in the way everyone understands 💙

I’m not pregnant nor planning to be anytime soon but I like to watch videos like this for educational purposes. I really admire and appreciate your positive spirit and being gentle with yourself during your pregnancy. I usually see far too many women ache and worry about something so minimal like skin transitioning. Truly refreshing to see this kind of spirit, and should be more celebrated ✨. I’ve watched Jen Im’s insightful journey during pregnancy and postpartum if I can recommend her I think you may just enjoy ✨ Also Congrats!! Wishing you the best pregnancy, I know we only see a fraction of a person through a screen but your personality and knowledge inevitably shine right through. You’re going to be the best mom 🧸✨

I’m 62, so very far away from my pregnancy days (which I loved!) but I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you!💕

My skin changed so much after each pregnancy! I developed rosacea, hormonal acne, cysts, cholinergic urticaria etc…. I would love to see a morning routine and please keep going after baby too please!

My skin changed completely postpartum. I mean completely. This content is so valuable!

Thank you for making this video. I shared it with my daughter who is 27 weeks pregnant and is so super careful of what she uses on her skin. Great tips for her.
Your skin is positively glowing.
It's been years since I was pregnant, but I even knew 36 years ago with my oldest daughter to not use while pregnant or nursing. As soon as I was done, right back to Retin-A I went. The stuff works miracles!
Would definitely like to see your morning pregnancy skin routine.
Be well. ❤❤

Such a great video! I am 27 weeks currently and looked for more of these kinds of videos early on. I am glad mamas-to-be will have this information. I’ve used the green clean balm for a few years now and LOVE IT. I can’t imagine cleansing without it now.

[rosannapolanco]

Yes please! Your morning routine! Thanks Dr. Ellis!

[ladyjade]

Congratulations to all you pregnant soon to be mommas! ❤️🥰🥳💐

[noblebrun]

thank you for being so real. I see your a little uncomfortable for exposing your flaws, but still continue just for educational purpose. Made me subscribe immediately because that makes me comfortable about my flaws.

[donnad]

Thank you much for not using a filter and letting us see your real skin. I did a double take Andy thought wait, my under eyes look like hers I am ok ! I am not ugly ! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. Blown away

[lainemackay]

Yes! Would love to see your morning skin care! I also want to ask...I am also a big fan of using a retinol nightly, however, I just found out I am pregnant so will be stopping that immediately. I am also I mamma who wants to breastfeed for as long as I can, possible 2 years. I would like to know if you are going to be breastfeeding as well, and if so, will you continue to forgo the use of a retinoid throughout the entirely of breastfeeding? When, in your personal opinion, do you think its safe to reintroduce it. Even if its a slow transition back into using it... once a week...then twice a week, , , etc. Thanks! Love your videos :)
