Pregnancy changes everything about a woman’s skin — and Susan Yara built a whole product list around it.

In “My Favorite Pregnancy Beauty Products!” on Beauty with Susan Yara, the Mixed Makeup founder skips the usual retinoid-and-scrub playbook entirely. Instead, she walks through the specific hormonal breakouts, dry patches and stretch marks that show up during pregnancy, and hands viewers a curated list of gentle, pregnancy-safe products she actually recommends. It’s less a lecture on acne rules and more a shopping guide built for a body that’s changing week to week.

• Yara features seven specific products, including African Botanics Marula Stretchmark Botanical Body Oil, OY-L Body Scrub, Beautycounter Enrich Body Butter, Herbivore Brighten Instant Glow Mask, Glytone Hydration Intensifying Serum, LXMI Pure Nilotica Melt Nourishing Balm-to-Oil and W3LL PEOPLE Bio Correct Multi-Action Concealer.
• The video addresses three distinct pregnancy skin issues — hormonal acne breakouts, extreme dryness and stretch marks — rather than treating skincare as one generic category.
• Every pick is positioned as an alternative to aggressive treatments like retinoids or harsh scrubs, which are typically flagged as unsafe during pregnancy.

Special Skincare Requirements During Pregnancy

Hormonal shifts during pregnancy can send oil production into overdrive for some women while leaving others drier than they’ve ever been — sometimes both at once, in different areas of the body. That’s the problem Yara sets out to solve, and it’s why her list splits attention between the face and the body instead of focusing narrowly on breakouts. Anyone who’s tracked the range of types of acne knows hormonal breakouts behave differently than the standard teenage version, which is exactly why Yara steers away from harsh actives here.

For the body, she leans on African Botanics Marula Stretchmark Botanical Body Oil to hydrate skin as it stretches, paired with the OY-L Body Scrub for exfoliation gentle enough not to irritate sensitized skin. Beautycounter’s Enrich Body Butter rounds that out as the heavier-duty moisture layer for the driest stretches of the day.

Facial Care Without the Harsh Actives

On the face, Yara recommends the Herbivore Brighten Instant Glow Mask to deal with dullness and breakouts without leaning on the kind of harsh ingredients typically pulled from a pregnancy skincare routine. She pairs it with Glytone’s Hydration Intensifying Serum, calling out its non-comedogenic formula as key for skin that’s either drier than usual or newly prone to clogging.

Pregnancy-safe doesn’t have to mean giving up on results — it just means being smarter about what you’re putting on.

That’s the throughline of the episode: swapping out anything aggressive for formulas that still do real work. It’s a philosophy Yara has repeated across other Mixed Makeup content, including her broader beauty tips she actually swears by, where gentleness and consistency matter more than potency.

Covering Up Without the Guesswork

For concealing blemishes and hyperpigmentation — both common complaints during pregnancy — Yara points to W3LL PEOPLE’s Bio Correct Multi-Action Concealer, a clean-ingredient option that lets her cover spots without reaching for a formula loaded with question marks. She closes out the facial lineup with LXMI’s Pure Nilotica Melt Nourishing Balm-to-Oil for targeted dry patches that a regular moisturizer doesn’t fully solve.

The result is a seven-product list that treats pregnancy skincare as its own category, not a scaled-down version of a normal routine — something that fits neatly alongside the kind of practical, product-specific guidance Yara has built her beauty tips content around for years.

Yara doesn’t rank the seven products against each other or crown a single favorite — she frames all of them as things she’d reach for herself, which is really the point of a Mixed Makeup episode built around personal use rather than a top-ten countdown.
