Changes in hormone levels during pregnancy will indeed make the skin of some pregnant mothers delicate and smooth, but it will also make the skin of many pregnant mothers very sensitive and rough. Have pregnant mothers ever thought about saying goodbye to dull and greasy skin? Act quickly, do your homework for a week, give you a gentle and fair face, and welcome your beloved baby!
1, be sure to wash your face with warm water, neither too cold nor too hot.
2. Because soap alkali will wash away the natural oil on the skin, pregnant mommy should pay attention to choosing mild cleansing soap or cleanser containing moisturizing ingredients. If you don't wear makeup, you can use it once a day.
3. When the skin moisture is not dry, apply moisturizing products and moisturize the face. It is recommended that pregnant mommy massage the facial skin several times more than usual by drawing a circle in a small area.
4. Eat more vegetables and fish rich in vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids or linolenic acid.
5, drink plenty of water, water is an important solvent in the body, and the absorption and transportation of various nutrients in the body are inseparable from water. For the sake of the baby and her body, pregnant mommy should pay more attention to drinking more water.
Second, pay attention to cleanliness and keep your face as bright as new.
Some pregnant mothers, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, have slow metabolism, greatly thickened subcutaneous fat, increased systemic blood circulation, and exuberant facial oil secretion, and their skin will become particularly greasy, leading to large pores and easy to hide evil people, especially in the "T" type area. Coupled with serious air pollution, people with "acne" will naturally come uninvited.
1. To thoroughly clean oily skin, you must go through two processes: removing makeup and washing your face. We call it "double purification".
It is best to use cleansing oil containing natural mineral oil (if not, baby oil and olive oil can also be used) to clean excess grease and dust in pores. Maybe you will question that "the skin is already so oily, and it is even more oily to wash your face with oil." In fact, the use of high-quality cleansing oil, not only will not block pores, but can completely remove the oil dirt from the stratum corneum. Then wash away the grease and dirt attached to the skin with facial cleanser without irritating ingredients, and thoroughly clean the pores from the inside out, so as to keep the pores unobstructed and avoid acne and blisters.
2, even oily skin, can not ignore moisturizing maintenance, it is best to choose a refreshing gel state or emulsion.
3. Oily skin is different from normal skin and dry skin. Cleanliness and balance are particularly important in the care of oily skin. When choosing skin care products, be careful not to mix them.
4. Regular exfoliation can make the moisturizing effect of skin care products more effective, and can also reduce the generation of acne. Pay attention to choose a mild exfoliating cream or scrub.
Third, cleverly cover it to give you a perfect complexion.
Because pregnant mommy has slow melanin metabolism, most of her face will grow dark spots. Especially in the middle and late pregnancy, pregnant mommy's skin becomes sensitive, and her resistance to ultraviolet rays is weaker, and chloasma is prone to appear on her forehead and cheeks. No pregnant mother wants to show her relatives and friends that she is bloodless during the Chinese New Year. What should she do?
1, the best way to deal with chloasma and spider spots is to cover them with skin concealer without mercury and tretinoin, such as some cosmeceutical brands. Don't try bleaching, it will destroy the molecular structure of the skin and cause permanent damage to the skin.
2. Before going out to meet the guests, you can cover the acne on your face with some pure minerals and oil-free matte loose powder. If the skin is oily, you can consider using oil-absorbing paper and pay attention to makeup in time.
Even in winter, you must remember to wear physical sun protection, sun hat, sunglasses and sun umbrella when you go out.
Fourth, skin care precautions
1. There are too many skin care products on the market. What should I pay attention to before pregnancy?
Skin care products containing retinoic acid must be stopped one month before pregnancy, which may easily lead to birth defects. Especially in some skin care products with whitening and freckle removal, the content of retinoic acid is high. At the same time, we should pay attention to properly supplement foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin b6 and nicotinamide.
2. Why does your face turn red after pregnancy, and you can still see thin red blood?
This is commonly known as spider spots. It is due to the sensitivity of blood vessels during pregnancy, easy expansion when heated, rapid contraction after cooling, and destruction of capillaries. Usually, we should pay attention to avoid cold or overheating stimulation on the face, and use some skin care products to calm the skin, such as sandalwood essential oil.
Of course, it should be noted that you can't use essential oils with the function of dredging channels and expelling dampness, such as ylang ylang, Marjory, sage and mint. Essential oils such as lemon, geranium, citrus and sandalwood can be used after 0/2 weeks of pregnancy.
The pregnancy is over, but the waist is still much thicker. I want to use products like slimming cream. I wonder if it will affect breast milk?
Slimming cream usually emphasizes that it can increase local fat metabolism and burning, but the actual effect is still uncertain. Postpartum mommy should give priority to exercise and moderate diet control. It is suggested that during breastfeeding, contact with chemical products should be minimized to keep the milk pure, so as not to affect the baby's health. If you really think it is necessary, you can also consider choosing a slimming product dedicated to postpartum mommy or pure plants.
4. Can pregnant mommy continue to use perfume?
Pregnant mommy can't use perfume. Because some perfumes contain essential oils and chemicals harmful to babies, it may lead to miscarriage or teratogenesis of pregnant mommy. However, at present, there are professional treasures and perfumes for pregnant mothers abroad.
Fifth, the misunderstanding of pregnant women's skin care
Myth 1, you can't use skin care products during pregnancy and childbirth.
Many pregnant mothers think that all skin care products contain additives and other chemical components, and they dare not use any skin care products for the safety of their babies. Judging from the changes of skin tissue results during pregnancy, the skin during pregnancy is the most sensitive and the resistance to external stimuli is the least. At the same time, skin problems such as dry, greasy and dull skin during pregnancy are irreversible. If left unchecked, it will have irreparable consequences for women's skin. Therefore, it is necessary to care for the skin during pregnancy.
Myth 2: Use baby's skin care products during pregnancy and delivery.
Many mothers think that baby skin care products, such as baby oil, are safe, cheap and won't hurt their children. Although from a safety point of view, baby skin care products can avoid safety problems. Baby skin care products, such as baby oil, are just a kind of base oil for baby skin, which can't effectively make up for the loss of moisture and nutrients in pregnant women's skin, nor can it specifically solve the harm of pregnant women's skin. Therefore, it has little effect on improving the skin.
Then, how to choose safe and effective facial care products for pregnant women must consider several factors:
1, the ingredients of skin care products must be transparent, saying that the ingredients must be labeled completely.
2, skin care products ingredients must be natural and organic, without any artificial additives, preservatives, etc.
3, skin care products must have a fresh and elegant natural taste, which is conducive to relieving the pressure of pregnant women.
Misunderstanding 3, ignoring neck care
The neck is rarely cared for. Many people pay too much attention to the face, thus ignoring the care of the neck. I don't know. A beautiful neck makes you more colorful. On weekdays, the neck is polluted by cosmetics, sandstorms and hair oil. If you don't care, it will affect pregnant women.
Myth 4. Use non-pregnant skin care products during pregnancy and childbirth.
Some pregnant mothers still use non-pregnant skin care products during pregnancy and delivery because they trust the skin care products they have been using. This practice has both security risks and can't really care for the skin. Because ordinary skin care products are only aimed at healthy and ordinary skin, and the characteristics and needs of sensitive skin during pregnancy and childbirth are not taken into account, it is possible that additives or special chemical components, such as lead and mercury, will harm the fetus and destroy the mother's skin.
