It's a question that's only appropriate to ask a Dr. We are not qualified to answer. My guess would be they would say no.

I used it throughout both pregnancies. Nothing happened. I don't know what the long term risks are, but yes definitely ask doctor.

I get facials every 3 weeks, pregnant or not. My esthetician uses all natural products on me - and I check the labels - not just taking her word. In my shower, I use baking soda as a cleanser and daily exfoliant and then pure grapeseed oil for a moisturizer. Cheap and not full of parabens, etc.

Even some doctors are morons, so don't take anyone's word...check the labels.

Facials, yes definitely to relax and deal with skin changes. You just have to avoid laying on your back later in your pregnancy. Not sure about the bleach.

I'm not really sure what a facial entails, considering I've never had one, but why in the world would you want to bleach your face? I'm pretty sure if you asked your doctor this question you'd get a definitive NO. I'm not sure you want to absorb bleach into your body and potentially pass it on to your baby.

I used the bleach on facial during my pregnancies. The "bleach" is peroxide and can't get into the bloodstream. It is the same peroxide that can be used to clean a cut.
