Can I use sunscreen while pregnant?

Yes. Protecting skin from ultraviolet radiation is important during pregnancy. Hormonal changes can increase the likelihood of melasma and other forms of sun-triggered pigmentation, so daily sun protection is recommended.

Why do many people prefer mineral sunscreen during pregnancy?

Mineral sunscreens use ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that sit on the surface of the skin to provide UV protection. Because some organic chemical sunscreen ingredients can be absorbed through the skin, many people prefer mineral sunscreen during pregnancy.

Does pregnancy increase sun sensitivity?

Yes. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase skin sensitivity and make pigment cells more reactive to UV exposure, which can lead to melasma.

Should I talk to my doctor before using sunscreen during pregnancy?

Every pregnancy is unique. If you have specific questions about skincare products, discuss them with your healthcare provider.
