    Will I be getting pregnant ever? Nope. Am I still watching this? YES.

    Loved this!
    My skin changed dramatically after giving birth, and now I have Demodex folliculorum. The only thing I was given to treat it was topical ivermectin which of course isn’t safe while breastfeeding, so I’ve been using Azelaic acid and sulfur to try and keep it at bay. Really difficult for someone who loves skin care so much and is now having such a hard time with it.
    I would love another video on pregnancy/breastfeeding safe items for anti aging. I have been off retinol for over two years now because of my pregnancy/breastfeeding, and I miss it so much.

    Super helpful and streamlined, I love how you re-capped and repeated yourself at the end, because for as pregnant ladies who are probably watching and seeking this, pregnancy brain can certainly cause us to forget everything you just said lol I personally could not use mineral sunscreens during pregnancy. I had terrible irritation from good sunscreens such as the Paula’s Choice popular mineral sunscreen and Elta MD. I actually found altruist SPF 30 and 50 from Amazon UK are the most gentle on my skin, and they do use newer chemical filters. I would recommend that anyone experiencing heat and redness with mineral sunscreens try altruist or other sunscreens with the European/rest of the world approved chemical filters rather than US chemical filters.

      Yes the two I recommend are kbeauty sunscreens so they are newer filters too and way less irritating than American spf. I want to try the altruist you mentioned thanks for sharing ✨

    I've been following you for a minute, but I fell off with YT. SO happy to see this video (and all of your videos). I loved Finacea (azelaic acid) foam (I think 20%) during and postpregnancy! Going to try that cleanser.
    One thing (and it's not a criticism as many others do this too, so you're not alone) to note, as a Black woman, I don't necessarily experience redness, so I appreciate it when you all say redness or PIH (unless irrelevant). Thank you, Kenna!

    This has been my biggest insecurity 🥺 I was on birth control for my acne so now being pregnant I feel so not in control of it

      I hope there are some helpful tips in this video! I remember mine getting pretty bad and feeling insecure too

    Do either of the sunscreens you recommended have fragrance in them?
    And if you know off hand are either of them oil free?… Thanks so much!
    PS. I hope everything is going well for you and your family and I hope your little girl doing great! ❤

    Isn't sunscreen a nano particle that can pass to the baby?

      The risk of skin cancer is much higher than any risk to the baby. Talk to your doctor
