Pregnancy brings exciting changes—and big questions about your skincare routine. In this episode of BeautyCurious, hosts Ian Michael Crumm and Dr. Elyse Love break down everything you need to know about pregnancy-safe skincare. From ingredient lists to cosmetic treatments, they separate myth from medical fact so you can feel confident in your routine.

Dr. Love introduces a practical four-level safety framework to categorize skincare products during pregnancy, helping listeners understand what’s clinically safe, what has limited safety data, and what to avoid entirely. Learn about safe alternatives for acne treatments, including alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide, and get expert insights on navigating hormonal changes, hair loss, and cosmetic procedures like Botox and peels.

Whether you're newly pregnant, planning, or just skincare-curious, this episode delivers must-know guidance backed by science and dermatology expertise.
