What were your favorite beauty products while pregnant? I'm looking for a good gentle face wash, toner and mosturizer.. any suggestions?

@littlek: I really liked the tea tree oil line from the body shop. I got an entire kit from Ulta and it was pretty inexpensive.

I liked cetaphil. I still use it (cleanser and moisturizer)
makeup I don't wear much anyway, but I use bare minerals.
-
I used the same thing @lawbee11: used!
-
I used Josie Maran argan oil cleanser, witch hazel for a toner and argan, almond or coconut oil for moisturizer. I used mostly Tarte cosmetics and switched to pacifica perfumes. My main concerns were and are parabens and endocrine disruptors like artificial fragrance/phthalates. Pregnancy really changed the way I looked at beauty products and what I put on myself and my family.

I've been using Belli face wash and their blemish product for the rare first tri breakouts. At night I use emu oil and during the day I use La Roche Posay Toleriane Riche moisturizer and Anthelios sunscreen.
ETA: emu oil sounds gross but I have a nut/coconut allergy!
-
I didn't change my regimen at all when i was pregnant......but i have been using the tea tree facewash that @lawbee11: mentioned for years!
-
I used the same products I use when not pregnant: dr. Hauschka skincare and cetaphil.
-
@yoursilverlining: same here, I didn't change anything.
-
I don't plan on changing unless my face goes wacko from the hormones... So far it hasn't!

My skin got sooo dry for some reason so i had to upgrade from my usual Cetaphil facewash/moisturizing cream routine. I am now a HUGE fan of the Shiseido Ibuki line - i use the clarifying facewash, the softening concentrate, and the moisturizer with SPF in the morning, and at night i use strivectin instant moisture repair at night. I highly recommend Shiseido's products, a bit pricey, but totally worth the investment!

I used the regular (not gentle) Cetaphil and either Oil of Olay with SPF (for day) or plain coconut oil (for night) as a moisturizer. My skin looked great when I was pregnant, so I rarely needed a toner, but when I did, I just used the same Clean and Clear S Acid toner I usually use. I know you aren't supposed to use SA while pregnant, but I figured every once in a while wouldn't hurt. This I'll use witch hazel, since I have a *huge* bottle left over from my pp days...
-
Same as pre-preg--- I have really dry skin and my derm recommends Cereve face wash and cream.

didn't really change my routine besides not really using makeup much anymore since being put on bed rest. I use Nuxe cleanser and toner and for moisturizer mix regular Ponds with a drop or 2 of pure Argan Oil. For tinted moisturizer I use MV Organics. When I use makeup it's Josie Maran bronzer and mascara and Benefit brow kit. oh and Living Luminizer by RMS Beauty (the best!)
