Therefore, it is important for pregnant women to be aware of these expected changes in their skin appearance in order to prevent unwanted effects and to choose the appropriate preventive or treatment measures via trustable sources of information.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study would highlight the most common normal and abnormal physiological skin changes mothers usually complain about before or after pregnancy. The most commonly used skin care products, their sources of knowledge, information, perception, and experiences on these problems and products were also considered. In addition, patient satisfaction levels and their sources and types of knowledge were also investigated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Across sectional survey was distributed among women who met the inclusion criteria and were citizens in the Hashimate Kingdom of Jordan. This survey was composed of a number of questions used for investigating participant's socio\u2010demographic characteristics, during and post\u2010pregnancy characteristics and medications used, comparison of skin related complains reported by these women, in addition to their use of skin care products. Women's knowledge, perception, and experience regarding their use of skin care products were also included.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 337 participants in this study, 6.5% and 6.8% of women were using thyroid medications and antihypertensive agents. An increase of around 3% in pregnancy\u2010related skin changes, such as hyperpigmentation, hair loss, cellulite, and wrinkles, was predominant among women. Despite the prevalence of hyperpigmentation, only 4% and 17% of women used depigmentation and sunblock products. Moreover, women declare that their information about the use of skin care products was mainly via social media or self\u2010experience. A low rate of consultation with dermatologists and the reliance on self\u2010diagnosis or non\u2010professional advice were shown.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study suggests a lack of awareness about effective preventive measures for skin\u2010related disorders commonly occurring during pregnancy, potentially exacerbated by reliance on unverified sources of information, such as social media. Therefore, incorporating education about skin changes into routine prenatal care could empower women to make informed decisions and reduce the stigma associated with these changes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.70132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,29]],"date-time":"2025-03-29T23:08:35Z","timestamp":1743289715000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Perceptions and Management of Pregnancy\u2010Related Skin Changes: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study on Knowledge, Practices, and Use of Skincare Product"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Safwan","family":"Aladwan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cosmetic Science, Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences Al\u2010Ahliyya Amman University  Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reem","family":"Issa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy Middle East University  Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wala'a","family":"Al.
