Skin care during pregnancy shouldn't be handled the same way as regular skin care:

New mothers should take a look at the skin care and beauty products they normally use and decide whether these same products are suitable for pregnant skin. A simple rule should be applied to this procedure, "If there's any doubt, throw it out." In addition, always consult with your doctor as to what products and ingredients will be safe for your skin and your baby if you have any doubt.

Moisturization and hydration are important steps to getting truly glowing skin while pregnant:
As relaxing as it may be, spending too much time in the bath or shower isn't healthy for your skin, either, since prolonged contact with water actually dehydrates the skin and can make it look dull. Also remember, it never hurts to over-moisturize. Providing constant nourishment to your skin will help you in the months to come.

Melasma is one condition that many pregnant women may encounter:

This skin condition is caused by an overproduction of melanin, which results in discolored patches on the face…During pregnancy, the face tends to get oilier than the rest of the body so following a good cleansing facial regimen is also important. Women with naturally oily skin should use water-based moisturizers and cleansers and women with dry skin should use oil-based products.
According to the Skincare News Team's sources, being pregnant doesn't have to wreak havoc on your skin. With extra steps and gentle skin care, expectant mothers can continue to enjoy healthy and happy skin before, during and after pregnancy.
