Vitamin A during pregnancy
December 30th, 2008
I talk quite a bit about the benefits of vitamin A for treating dry skin, acne, and melasma. Whether it’s through foods such as carrots, a daily supplement, or topical skin care products, the ingredients needed to create vitamin A–retinol and beta carotene–work wonders to encourage new cell growth leading to great skin fitness.
But…(and this is a big but) if you are pregnant, then maybe extra vitamin A isn’t so great for your skin fitness or overall health.
Doctors often encourage their expecting moms to stay away from too much vitamin A in drugs and in foods. Although topical skin care products containing retinoids may not be all that bad, it might be worth talking to your doctor to be sure.
