We sat down with Claire Cross to discuss all things pregnancy skin care just in time for Mother’s Day! Claire is 27 weeks along with a baby boy and is due at the end of July.
Has your skin changed any since becoming pregnant?
I did have some breakouts on my face and back in the first trimester. Now, I feel like, dare I say, that my skin is pretty happy! One thing I have noticed is that I feel more dry, but my complexion seems more oily. I find myself reaching for moisturizer more than before I was pregnant.

What treatments have you been loving while pregnant?
I have really enjoyed getting a Diamond Glow every couple of months. Riley gave me an Illuminize peel a few weeks ago and it was such a great pick-me-up. I am also looking forward to getting a signature facial closer to my due date!
What procedure do you miss the most?
Definitely Botox! I am also very excited for a filler touch-up once I am no longer pregnant. As far as products go, I really miss Retinol. I use AlphaRet Overnight Cream and I didn’t realize how much I loved it until I couldn’t use it!
