In general, a basic facial, without the use of harsh chemicals, heat treatments and long-drawn out massages, is quite safe. However, it’s important to know that your skin absorbs all the chemicals that are applied to it; these can enter the bloodstream and ultimately your baby’s bloodstream too. Many salon treatments, to combat rashes or, skin discolorations are chemical based and may contain different combinations of benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, etc. Though these may take care of your skin problems, pregnancy facials do have an impact on your baby’s health.

Sure as long as you feel comfortable lying on your back, with pregnant belly, for about 2hrs. Beautician would advice what products or machine that cannot be used during pregnancy. No essential oil used for the shoulder massage.
