Pregnancy Safe Skin Care Routine Using KORA Organics
I’m the go-to guide gal and routine queen here at Adore Beauty. I have a background in media and communications, and over 3 years experience in the beauty industry.
When I’m not answering all of your burning questions, you can find me spruiking underrated products to my co-workers and trying to figure out what our best bloody mascara is.
With so many products on the market, it can be difficult to figure out what to avoid when you’re pregnant. Ingredients lists can be long and daunting, and with your body changing, it can be a struggle to adapt to these changes.
In this routine Miranda Kerr gives us a little guidance using her own line of organic, and pregnancy safe, skincare products.
This routine will help keep your skin clear, tackle pigmentation, prevent stretch marks and give you that noni-glow!
- Note: If you’re pregnant remember to always check in with a doctor before making any changes to your skincare routine or diet.
Pregnancy Safe Skincare Tips:
- Swap your chemical exfoliant for a physical scrub like theKORA Organics Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Mask 100ml, which you can use in the shower or as a more intense mask.
- Lift and lighten pigmentation caused by pregnancy such as melasma, chloasma or “the mask of pregnancy” with a pregnancy safe Vitamin C serum like the KORA Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum 30ml.
- Hydrate and fade stretch marks with a nourishing body oil.
This routine shows you how to use these pregnancy safe KORA Organics products to clear and nourish the skin and help combat pigmentation.

Should I Switch to Organic Skincare Products?
While a lot of organic skincare lines omit ingredients you should avoid, there are plenty of non-organic skincare lines that make Clean Beauty products you can still use while pregnant.
Some key ingredients you should avoid in all skincare products when pregnant include Retinol, Salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide. However, many of the other big no-no’s like Formaldehyde, Parabens and Phthalates are necessarily excluded from organic products.
Organic skincare products only use plant derived or naturally occurring ingredients, however it’s still important to check with your doctor that they are completely pregnancy safe.
