Chemical peels
✗ Best to avoid
Strong chemical peels using high concentrations of glycolic acid, TCA, or phenol should be avoided during pregnancy. They can be absorbed through the skin and their effects on a developing baby are not well studied. Gentle exfoliation with a washcloth is a safer option.
