Pregnancy-Safe Facials: The Perfect Mother’s Day Treat for Mums-to-Be

Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the incredible journey of motherhood, and what better way to spoil a mum-to-be than with a luxurious, pregnancy-safe facial? While expectant mothers are often told to avoid certain skincare treatments, that doesn’t mean they have to miss out on self-care. In fact, the right facial can provide much-needed relaxation while keeping skin glowing through the many hormonal changes that come with pregnancy.

At The Good Skin Guru, we offer a selection of pregnancy-safe facials designed to nourish, soothe, and revitalise the skin - perfect for any mum-to-be who deserves a little pampering. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for the ultimate Mother’s Day gift, here’s our top selection of safe and effective facials to enjoy during pregnancy.

1. Fire & Ice Facial – The Red-Carpet Glow

Dubbed the "Hollywood Facial," the Fire & Ice treatment by iS Clinical is loved for its ability to resurface the skin without downtime. This facial uses a gentle but effective resurfacing mask followed by a cooling and hydrating mask, leaving the skin instantly refreshed and glowing.

✔ Pregnancy-safe: This facial avoids harsh chemical peels and instead relies on mild exfoliation and hydration to improve skin texture.

2. Champagne Enzyme Facial – A Bubbly Treat for Your Skin

If you’re after a more gentle and hydrating treatment, the iS Clinical Champagne Enzyme Facial is a luxurious choice. Infused with papaya and pineapple enzymes, this facial provides gentle exfoliation while its effervescent effect mimics the bubbly sensation of champagne.
