Even during pregnancy, facial skin care is needed, but because pregnancy is a very special period, all aspects should pay special attention. So can Estee Lauder small brown bottle essence be used for pregnant women? Let Best Bian Xiao tell you the answer ~

Not recommended for pregnant women.

Because this essence contains an ingredient that pregnant women should use with caution: ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, which is a chemical sunscreen.

It is a penetration enhancer and is easily absorbed by the skin. There is a saying that it has estrogen-like effects and should not be used for pregnant women and children. However, the safety monitoring of this essence has passed, and the content of this ingredient is also very small, but pregnant women still recommend using special skin care products for pregnant women ~

Ingredients that pregnant women can't use:

1. An acid and its derivatives

Oral isotretinoin can cause teratogenesis, and it is forbidden to use it during pregnancy and lactation. Using A acid during pregnancy is also a high-risk behavior. It must be banned. Because acid is a medicine, it is not used in cosmetics, but its derivatives are used in cosmetics: an aldehyde (retinol), an alcohol (retinol) and an ester (such as retinol palmitate). The degree of danger decreases in turn, so if skin care products contain an aldehyde, an alcohol and an ester, don't use them.

2. Salicylic acid

Large doses lead to teratogenesis. Clinical studies have found that taking low doses of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) during pregnancy does not increase the risk of teratogenesis, premature delivery or low birth weight. However, taking high doses of acetylsalicylic acid during pregnancy will increase the risk of teratogenesis. Skin care products containing salicylic acid have existed for many years, and there is no report on the safety of pregnant women. Therefore, occasionally using a small amount of skin care products with low concentration of salicylic acid (less than 2%) during pregnancy or lactation, there is no need to panic excessively. But if long-term or large-scale use of massage cream and other skin care products contain salicylic acid, you can pay attention. Especially for tender skin with high salicylic acid content, more attention should be paid. Therefore, during pregnancy, for the sake of safety, the use of skin care products containing salicylic acid is suspended.

3. Phthalates

Phthalate esters, which play the role of plasticizer for plastics, are mainly used in PVC materials to change PVC from hard plastics to elastic plastics and play the role of plasticizer. Widely used in toys, food packaging materials, medical blood bags and hoses, vinyl floor and wallpaper, detergents, lubricants, personal care products (such as nail polish, hair gel, soap and shampoo) and other hundreds of products, but it is seriously harmful to human health.

4. vitamin a and tetracycline.

Lei Ting -A, which stimulates the growth of collagen, is an external form of vitamin A and is used to treat skin diseases, including acne, oily skin and wrinkles. When applied to the skin regularly, Lei Ting -A helps to clear pores and stimulate the growth of collagen. But not for pregnant women.

5. alcohol

For dry skin and sensitive skin, careful use of alcohol can quickly evaporate on the skin surface, forming a cool feeling. As a solvent, it is widely used in water, emulsion and other products, and the practice proves that it is safe and applicable. However, due to the strong permeability of alcohol, it may cause irritation to girls with dry and sensitive skin. In this case, you can choose alcohol-free products. For girls who mix oil skin and oil skin, alcohol can help remove the oil on the skin surface and feel fresher.

6. Hydroquinone and hormones

Hydroquinone, the main component of freckle removal, is a medicine used to treat spots in medicine, but if it is used in large quantities for a long time, it will have potential harm to the skin, so it is forbidden to use this component in cosmetics in China. 7. Benzene peroxide, the main ingredient of acne, is a strange name. You may not know it very well, but if you mention Cologne, which was all the rage a few years ago, you must know that benzene peroxide is the main functional ingredient of Cologne. Its role is of course to treat acne, but it is absolutely forbidden to use it all over your face every day during pregnancy. Some foreign experts believe that it is safe to use it only on local acne occasionally.

Hope to adopt. Good luck.
