Lydia - Love Your Skin

Poolside, but never without my SPF! ☀️

Which sunscreen to use when pregnant?
What I’ve been using:
🌝 AlumierMD Versatile Tint SPF for my face
🌝 La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral SPF for my body

Both are mineral (physical) sunscreens, meaning they sit on the skin’s surface and reflect UV rays rather than absorbing them like chemical sunscreens.

Why do many pregnant women choose mineral sunscreens?
- Generally less likely to cause irritation or sensitivity
- Start protecting immediately after application
- Often preferred during pregnancy because ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide remain on the skin’s surface rather than being absorbed in the same way as some chemical UV filters
- Great for sensitive skin and those prone to pigmentation (which can worsen during pregnancy)

Remember, no sunscreen can completely block UV damage, so SPF works best alongside:
👒 A hat
🕶️ Sunglasses
⛱️ Shade where possible
💧 Plenty of hydration

Protecting your skin isn’t just about preventing sunburn, it’s one of the most effective anti-ageing and skin-health habits you can have.

Oily skin doesn’t automatically mean hydrated skin!

In fact, many acne-prone people are unknowingly dealing with dehydration from harsh products, over cleansing and damaged skin barriers.

When skin lacks water, it often compensates by producing more oil which can lead to even more congestion and irritation.

Hydration isn’t about making skin greasy. It’s about keeping the skin barrier healthy enough to function properly.

💧 Healthy barrier = calmer skin
💧 Calmer skin = fewer breakouts

Most people choose sunscreen based on SPF number alone. But HOW your sunscreen protects your skin matters too.

A little personal update from me…

Turns out I’m growing more than just my treatment menu this year 👶🏼

I’m so excited to finally share that I’m expecting a baby BOY and due this October! 💙

So if I’ve been extra tired, craving snacks between appointments or mysteriously disappearing for a ginger biscuit (as if they make any difference 😆)… now you know 😂

I’ll be heading towards maternity leave later this year but of course now I have joined an amazing team here at LYS all treatments will continue as normal!

Thank you for all the love, support and loyalty you continue to show me — it honestly means so much.

I’m excited for this next chapter and will of course keep you all updated along the way ☺️

Your skin reflects your habits just as much as your skincare routine!

Sleep is skincare
Hydration is skincare
Nourishing your body is skincare
Managing stress is skincare

The products you use matter, but healthy skin also starts internally. When we’re run down, dehydrated, stressed or lacking sleep, it often shows up in our skin first — breakouts, dullness, irritation, puffiness, inflammation.

Glowing skin isn’t only about what you apply topically; it’s also about how you care for yourself day to day. Prioritising rest, balanced nutrition, movement, water and moments of calm can make just as much difference as the serums on your shelf
