Cosmetics for pregnant women: During pregnancy, due to the increase of estrogen and lutein secretion, the energy of skin self-protection and repair is not enough to cope with the increasing melanin production, which leads to the increase of melanin and the deepening of skin pigment. At this time, the skin is most afraid of ultraviolet rays and radiation, which will quickly crush the skin's defense ability, let the skin's energy plummet, and let the pregnancy spots precipitate on the face at any time. At the same time, the attenuated skin energy can not resist the threat of the decline of skin water storage capacity and cell metabolism capacity, leading to water shortage and cell metabolism. Therefore, pay special attention to skin care during pregnancy.
