Is cold cream safe to use while pregnant?

I usually use a cold cream such as Pond's to remove makeup and to generally cleanse my face. I have read that a pregnant woman should only use soap and water - but that is much too harsh for my skin, and so are most other facial cleansers. Can I still use my beloved cold cream? If not, does anyone have a recommendation?

Cold creme is fine, but don't use the medicated cream.





I use Ponds as well now. Soaps are not the same as what they were 20 years ago except for Ivory. Which, by the way, is what you use if you start having problems with your skin (rashes) while pregnant. The deoderants in stuff like Irish Spring can give your skin problems during pregnancy. They go away with Ivory soap.
Reply:use olive oil instead
Reply:Yes, cold cream is fine to use. I think that you would only need to discontinue use if it was something prescribed from a dermatologist or something over the counter that was medicated. I have some Pond's dry skin cream sitting right here beside me that I use everyday!
