Question:
Is it safe to get a facial with an esthetician during pregnancy?
Answer:

"Yes, you can, and many expectant moms love the pampering. During a facial your skin is cleansed, steamed, exfoliated, massaged and a finishing mask is applied to complete the treatment. We are not aware of any side effects to this routine cleansing that many women continue to receive throughout their pregnancy.

"There are many benifits to receiving a facial including the re-balancing of your skin's moisture and texture. The stress relief and relaxation you will receive with these treatments are additional benefits during pregnancy."

-- Answered by Margo McIntosh, esthetician and makeup artist at Daired's Salon & Day Spa
