We’ve all heard about the amazing benefits of Retinol in skin care but unfortunately it’s not safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. In fact, a lot of things aren’t safe (see a great list of what to avoid HERE). I was 14 months postpartum and still breastfeeding and lamenting about my tired mama skin when my friend told me to look into Bakuchiol, a natural retinol alternative, that is totally safe to use! I looked up a bunch of products but decided to try out Burt’s Bees Renewal Intensive Firming Serum with Bakuchiol Natural Retinol Alternative because I’ve long-loved the Burt’s Bees brand and it was on the cheaper side relative to a lot of options I found. I primed it immediately! (I had gone nearly 2 years without any safe serums I loved, I wasn’t going to go a day longer). I’ve now been using it for 2 months and I LOVE IT! Not only do I see a difference in my skin, but it’s probably the best smelling facial product I’ve ever used, which makes me look forward to my little self care skin routine morning and night; I’m hooked! I only wish I had known about it sooner. If you are pregnant/breastfeeding, know anyone who is, or plan to be in the future, DON’T LET YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE SUFFER!
