Just found out I’m pregnant this morning! This was so helpful. I’ve been on a retinoid so I’ll be stopping that from here on out. Thanks for the info!

You are such a beautiful pregnant lady😊 All of these changes that you are experiencing with your skin are so cute to me, maybe because I admire pregnant women. But it literally warms my heart, I wish you the best pregnancy ❤

Love she gets to the point and explains in the way everyone understands 💙

I’m not pregnant nor planning to be anytime soon but I like to watch videos like this for educational purposes. I really admire and appreciate your positive spirit and being gentle with yourself during your pregnancy. I usually see far too many women ache and worry about something so minimal like skin transitioning. Truly refreshing to see this kind of spirit, and should be more celebrated ✨. I’ve watched Jen Im’s insightful journey during pregnancy and postpartum if I can recommend her I think you may just enjoy ✨ Also Congrats!! Wishing you the best pregnancy, I know we only see a fraction of a person through a screen but your personality and knowledge inevitably shine right through. You’re going to be the best mom 🧸✨

I’m 62, so very far away from my pregnancy days (which I loved!) but I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you!💕

Yes please show us your pregnancy morning skincare routine! You’re amazing ❤️

Such a great video! I am 27 weeks currently and looked for more of these kinds of videos early on. I am glad mamas-to-be will have this information. I’ve used the green clean balm for a few years now and LOVE IT. I can’t imagine cleansing without it now.

Thank you for making this video. I shared it with my daughter who is 27 weeks pregnant and is so super careful of what she uses on her skin. Great tips for her. Your skin is positively glowing. It's been years since I was pregnant, but I even knew 36 years ago with my oldest daughter to not use while pregnant or nursing. As soon as I was done, right back to Retin-A I went. The stuff works miracles! Would definitely like to see your morning pregnancy skin routine. Be well. ❤❤

Congratulations!! Pregnancy can be such a wonderful time, enjoy!!!

Congratulations on your pregnancy, I’m due 2/22/22. This was a great video! 💗

Thank you soooooo much for not using a filter and letting us see your real skin. I did a double take Andy thought wait, my under eyes look like hers !!!!!! I am ok ! I am not ugly ! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. Blown away

Congratulations on your pregnancy Dr. Eliss 🎉🌸

Would love to see a morning skincare routine!! Honestly I love anything and everything Dr Sam uploads.. she’s so fun and cute!!!

No skin issues whatsoever - I just love love love the channel...

Thank you Dr. Ellis for sharing your routine. Informative guidelines! Learning from an expert. Thanks!

Congratulations to all you pregnant soon to be mommas! ❤️🥰🥳💐

Dr. Ellis, Thank you and have a wonderful week!

Congratulations pregnancy 🙏🤍💚🤍 wish you the best 🥰

Yes please! Your morning routine! Thanks Dr. Ellis!

Your videos are so interesting to watch! I loved this 🥰

Congratulations! You look beautiful!❤️

Thank you for this! I would love to see your morning pregnancy skincare routine.

thank you for being so real. I see your a little uncomfortable for exposing your flaws, but still continue just for educational purpose. Made me subscribe immediately because that makes me comfortable about my flaws.

Love this and yes to all the skincare routines 😊 I did also get more congestion during pregnancy and my skin turned back to normal instead of dry. I also got big ol white heads behind my upper arms and they were so ugly. Also I switched to mineral sunscreen for body and face and I hated all the body ones but I actually found the Murad mineral sunscreen is AMAZING!! I had a few deluxe samples of Bakuchiol from herbivore and biossance and I used them during pregnancy and loved them

Some with dry skin don’t think that the Laneige night balm is enough & doesn’t stay on all night. Personally what I use is The Naked Bee stick lip balm that is inexpensive & you can find at Ace Hardware stores, etc. even in Winter, it stays on & works all night. I’m 59 & love it.

Amazing video! I’ll be waiting for the morning routine

My husband also complains after I put on my lip balm. I'm obsessed with the Noone Applebutter Lip Mask with natural AHA's. I've never had anything else hydrate my lips as well, and it will completely get rid of any dead skin. I had a dental appt first thing in the morning, once, and the hygienist asked me if I got lip injections because my lips were so smooth. I told her it was just from my lip balm and she immediately ordered, lol.

Yes! Would love to see your morning skin care! I also want to ask...I am also a big fan of using a retinol nightly, however, I just found out I am pregnant so will be stopping that immediately. I am also I mamma who wants to breastfeed for as long as I can, possible 2 years. I would like to know if you are going to be breastfeeding as well, and if so, will you continue to forgo the use of a retinoid throughout the entirely of breastfeeding? When, in your personal opinion, do you think its safe to reintroduce it. Even if its a slow transition back into using it... once a week...then twice a week,,, etc. Thanks! Love your videos :)

Yes definitely wanna see the AM routine please

Omg thank u so much this cleaning balm works wonderful, I have never had a face cleaner work so good and u face routine is working for me ,I am also using the differn. I ordered the virtue shampoo ,conditioner and minoxidil for my hair can’t wait to try it . Thank u dr can’t wait to see pictures of the new baby .

Hi Dr Sam an interesting tour of your pregnancy routine - you look great btw. I was surprised at not seeing a prescription azelaic acid, as I thought it would really help with the rosacea, congestion and hyperpigmentation - whilst still being safe to use in pregnancy. I'm long past the pregnancy stage of life and due to gynae issues it wasn't something I ever dealt with anyway. I'm menopausal and 3 years since my last period, so I don't really get hormonal fluctuations any more. I do take a low dose continuous HRT (a lot of research and consultation with my Doctor went into that decision), so my hormones are fairly stable with just an occasional hot flush now. I do have rosacea and eczema, so I use a 15% azelaic acid alternating nights with my retinoid. The combination of the two keeps my pores clear and really minimises texture and redness. I don't really use many AHA's as my skin isn't overly keen on them - a 5% mandelic acid toner once or twice a week in the morning seems to be enough for my skin, as I get enough cell turnover from the azelaic acid and retinoid tbh. I don't really suffer from hyperpigmentation (apart from a smattering of freckles I've had since I was a child), but my skin heals with red or purple marks after any breakouts etc. I tried a 2% tranexamic acid serum, but my skin found it a bit irritating as an ingredient so I stopped it (I now use it on my hands at night under a hand cream). I want to take the opportunity to wish you good health throughout your pregnancy and a healthy baby at the end. Best wishes.

So excited for you Dr.Sam! Cheeky video request: at home facial! I recently heard that regular steaming is not ideal for us… what does the science say ? 😵‍💫

I lovee Allies of Skin!! I have tried almost everything & nothing has disappointed me

My skin changed so much after each pregnancy! I developed rosacea, hormonal acne, cysts, cholinergic urticaria etc…. I would love to see a morning routine and please keep going after baby too please!

I never really react to videos, but I had to! I am a skin therapist (dermal clinician), a profession thats not very know haha. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and I really missed my retinol. NO OTHER VIDEO talked about bakuchiol, kojic acid, licorice root and tranexamic acid. A lot of websites tell us to avoid these ingredients, how did you come to your own conclusion to use these ingredients especially? I loved the fact that you did, thank you so much for that 💗 best for you!

Love what you were saying about the bigger picture and accepting your body as it is during pregnancy. Also, I really like your sweater/shirt! Mind sharing where it's from?

Thank you for posting!!!

Best wishes for your pregnancy! Cannot wait to see the morning routine 😃 xo

Morning skincare please! Love watching your content!

Can you do a routine for melasma using best actives when no longer pregnant thanks

Yes please to a morning routine!!

My skin changed completely postpartum. I mean completely. This content is so valuable!

Can you go over ingredients to avoid during pregnancy? Thank you!!

I would love a morning skincare routine ❤️❤️❤️

Dr. Ellis I just discovered your channel and I immediately subscribed, LOVE the content! Can you please do a video to explain how the botox placement benefits each area and tell us a little bit about your hair?

Uh, I love listening to you! Would absolutely love to see a morning routine!!

Morning skincare routine please 🙏😊

Can you do a video reviewing skin care tools like the Dr Dennis Gross LED face mask or the Nuface, Foreo, etc.? I’d love to hear your opinion!

Hi dr. Ellis, could you be able to film a video on your experience with birth control pills. I know it varies from person to person, but it would mean a lot to hear your view. Some people get acne after pills and didn't have them before, so a bit detailed explanation would mean a lot. :)

Can you use an oil based serum and oil free moisturizer in the same routine? If so, what is the correct order? Thanks! and congratulations on the pregnancy!

Love this video! Where is your sweater from? I love the color!

Congratulations Dr Sam on your pregnancy and I'm a rather new subscriber to your channel. I wanted to ask how soon after botox one can have microneedling? Thanks so much. Lisa, Galway, Ireland xx

You’re glowing 😍

Grt video doc! And congrats on your pregnancy! Can the mandelic acid pigment corrector be followed by a tretinoin-.025, if one is fighting pigmentation?

i really like that you seem professional but still engaging to watch. wishing you the best for your pregnancy, dr. sam! :)

I love your videos and have ordered several of the skincare items you’ve talked about. Do you use a washcloth during your nighttime routine?

I've had 2 kids and have no interest in having anymore but yes I definitely want your morning skincare too!

Omg thank you! Where were you my whole pregnancy?!? 😭 I want to buy the Allies Of Skin serum but don't want to waste my money since I only have 1 month left before I can go back to my retinoids. I wonder if I can use that serum and retinoids together?

Dr Ellis what would you do for acne rosacea patients that are pregnant? Feel like no one online ever talks about this and so many people suffer from it xxx

Great video! What are your thoughts on the Drmtlgy needle less serum? How does that compare to the night cream? Thanks!

I love your channel so much !! I aspire to be a dermatologist like you some day. Quick question. Where did you get your ring from that is on your right hand?? I love it 🤩

Love your videos and information. Will you review Aveeno calm and restore sensitive skin cleanser and skincare line please, I trust your advise.

Your teeth are so beautiful! Have you recently done Bleaching? You look stunning and definitely have that pregnancy glow 😊

Do you have any recommendations to best get rid of aggressive dry patches or eczema on the face that’s is causing hyperpigmentation?

Fir general skincare as I am not pregnant. Can you use mandelic acid from allies of the skin while using retinoids at night? Would both products still be effective if layered? If so. Do you use serum prior to prescription retinoids, or vice versa. If you can’t use with retinoids, would you recommend in morning?

Thank you for info! I will share video with friends. The Naturium Tranexamic acid serum is safe during pregnancy, is it also safe for pih in teen acne?

Congrats.

How do you feel about copper serum/creams? First video of yours I’ve seen. Just ordered the night cream. New subscriber here 😊

Where is your sweater from?? So cute!!

Please suggest serums for someone with no pigmentation, just for hydration late 30s before the retinol serum and moisturiser?

Yes on morning skincare

Morning skincare routine.

Hello Dr. Sam Ellis, can I ask if the ferulic acid is it allow during the pregnancy period?

Do you think it’s safe to use a 2% salicylic acid cleanser when pregnancy. I’ve read a couple articles saying that it’s okay because you wash it off and it’s under 2%. Would love to know what you think. My skin is breaking out a lot during pregnancy

Which form of cleansing balms are not so oily rather gel like , for combination skin?

Hi, Thank you for sharing. I actually emailed Naturium about the Tranexamic Topical Acid, and they said it was not pregnancy safe. I found an article from Allure that says it IS pregnancy safe, but Paula’s Choice says there’s not enough research and to consult with your physician. But obviously if you’re using it, you think it’s safe enough for other pregnant women to use? Just asking because there’s so much conflicting information!

so can u mix peptides with ahas/bhas? as youve done in this routine?

Do you use the Allies of skin serum every day?

Hello ma’am. I have rosacea and kind of dry skin and I am looking for a good moisturizer can I use dermatology night cream if I am not pregnant and also is it safe for rosacea prone skin? Will it break me out?

Hello would you know if plant-based retinol (like Bakuchiol) like Cranberry extract is safe for pregnancy too?

I think you look stunning pregnant!!

Do I need to double cleanse if I only wear serum and sunscreen? Thanks.

Very beautiful necklace. Where did you find it?

If you’re not pregnant can u use Allies serum and then a retnoid? If not how would incorporate both of products ?

Night routine of the husband please!!!!

what do you think about pca skin pigment gel hq free for pregnancy?

What is a good eye cream that is pregnancy safe?

I have used the farmacy cleansing balm but dislike it due to its strong fragrance from essential oils and use of waterbody polluting polyethylene

Is licorice root extract Safe for pregnancy?

Can I use the ordinary caffeine eye cream during pregnancy? Please please reply

Hi, I was wondering what your opinion is on using gram, rice, coconut or oat flour for hyperpigmentation and melasma especially during pregnancy? I use it for brightening and although it can be very drying so I mix it with glycerin honey, rosewater and other hydrating ingredients in a mask and heavily moisturize after and leave it on only 5 minutes, it is extremely beneficial. I just thought I would share this in case women out there are looking for something that would be helpful and safe. Please ask your dermatologist of course, first, but I wanted to share this because I know that it can be very upsetting for a lot of people and frustrating and it has helped me more than any product marketed for targeting hyperpigmentation and as a bonus is very helpful for keeping skin clear and healing the skin barrier, and results have been instant for me and it is so gentle I can do this a couple days a week. But do a patch test first and only leave on a few minutes because it works so fast to brighten and can be very drying like I said. But it is loaded with nutrients and packed with great stuff. Please research all the goodies. You can build the mask around it with specific ingredients that you want to help target specific needs, but the flour is the main ingredient I like to mix it with along with real vitamin c capsules from acorola cherries about 5 I open and mix with a dash of glycerin, rosewater, a little water and sometimes I add a few drops of alpha arbutin. I hope it helps people out there who really struggle with hyperpigmentation and melasma and please remember to wear sunscreen even indoors exposed to harsh lighting. Yes harsh lighting can have a negative effect on skin. Hope my hubz doesn’t mind my commenting my girly stuff on his man account, lol. Totally kidding btw.

where is your pullover from?:)

Are these products legit if bought on Amazon or do you recommend to buy them from the links you sent?

You can use topical liquorice root during pregnancy?

Hi Doctor Ellis! I emailed Naturium to ask about which of their products are safe to use during pregnancy (I'm not pregnant, but doing research for some near-future plans!-- Hopefully in a few months God-willing) and they listed their tranexamic products on the 'no' list, but elsewhere I've heard tranexamic is safe (including from you, who's opinion I trust ;) ). I've also had varying opinions on BHA being ok for short contact, but not leave-on (like a toner). This future mama is confused, lol. I recently invested in both the BHA Exfoliant and Tranexamic solution from Paula's Choice, so now I'm worried I won't be able to use them.

How does Tranexamic vs Azelaic acid compare?

The naturium tranexamic serum didnt do anything for me. I went through 2 full bottles twice a day. Hope it works for you.

Okay but your nails are so pretty?? Like what nail polish does she use haha

I would love to see you morning skincare! Are you still using vitamin c?

Can you or anyone tell me where in the UK can I get DRMTLGY Peptide Night Cream please? Ty.
