If your skin suddenly feels unpredictable during pregnancy, it is not your imagination and it is not your fault. Hormones shift rapidly, collagen stretches, pigment deepens, and routines that once worked may no longer feel effective.

In this episode, Dr. Mina sits down with integrative dermatologist Dr. Mamina Turegano for an honest, evidence-based conversation on skincare during pregnancy. Together, they break down the most common concerns dermatologists see at this stage, from acne and hyperpigmentation to melasma, stretch marks, and sunscreen safety.

They clarify which ingredients are best avoided, which can be used safely when appropriate, and why simple foundations like sun protection, hydration, and gut health often matter more than an overloaded routine. They also cover postpartum skincare and what can be thoughtfully reintroduced while breastfeeding, helping listeners move forward with clarity, confidence, and a lot less anxiety around doing something wrong.

Key Takeaways:

✓ Pregnancy acne and melasma are hormonally driven and incredibly common

If you are pregnant, postpartum, or planning ahead and want science-backed answers without judgment, this episode will leave you feeling informed, supported, and far more confident in your skin.
