So, how should pregnant women take care of their skin?

　　1. When taking care of your skin during pregnancy, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

　　1. Skin is very sensitive during pregnancy. You should use mild and non-irritating cleansing products (facial cleanser or soap) every time you wash your face. Due to dry skin, the frequency of face washing should be relatively reduced, twice a day is enough.

　　2. After washing, pat gently with your hands a few times, wait until the water is half dry, apply mild moisturizer evenly on the face, and massage gently. This will help maintain skin moisture and promote blood circulation of the skin.

　　3. Drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and take some vitamin B2 and C tablets if necessary to prevent skin from drying out.

　　4. To maintain a certain temperature indoors, it is best to have an air humidifier or put a basin of water indoors.

　　5. Try to avoid eating spicy food, biscuits and instant noodles, and do not drink strong tea and coffee , otherwise it will make the skin more dry and dull.

　　2. Pay attention to adjusting skin care products during pregnancy

　　After you have a baby, don’t rush to replace all the skin care products you used before. The first step is to do a thorough test of the skin care products you are currently using: Are there any of the following taboo ingredients?

　　Vitamin A acid and its derivatives, vitamin A alcohol, vitamin A aldehyde, etc. These ingredients enter the body, especially when fetus The first three months of the critical period of development carry the risk of abnormal development.

　　Essential oil products. Many people like to use essential oils or perform regular essential oil massages, but they should try to avoid them during pregnancy. Many essential oils have small molecular weights, so they have strong permeability and may be harmful to the fetus.

　　In fact, most skin care products are safe. If you don’t have skin care products with the above ingredients, you can continue to use them.

　　3. How to choose sunscreen during pregnancy

　　1. Refuse whitening sunscreen products. Pay attention to the ingredients contained in sunscreen products, and do not use sunscreen products that also have whitening effects during pregnancy. This is because some sunscreen products with whitening functions contain harmful metal elements such as mercury, lead, and zinc, or use a large amount of finely ground titanium dioxide. Long-term absorption of mercury into the skin can cause nerve System disorders, vision loss, kidney damage, hearing loss, sensitive skin and mucous membranes, and can enter the embryo from the mother, affecting embryonic development.

　　2. Avoid sunscreen products with quick-acting skin rejuvenation effects. If a sunscreen also makes skin smooth and smooth within a week, then its ingredients are questionable. Studies have found that when a small amount of hormones are added to sunscreen products, the skin will become plump and moisturized, but after large amounts of use, dryness and spots will appear. Long-term use of hormonal sunscreen products will damage cells and make the skin closer to aging.

　　3. Do not touch substances that cause skin allergies. Preservatives, aromatic compounds, and pigments are substances that must not be "touched" during pregnancy. At the same time, they are also the three major substances that cause skin allergies. The more complex the fragrance ingredients are, the greater the dosage, the more severe the irritation, and the more likely it is to cause skin allergies and photosensitivity reactions.

　　4. Choose sunscreen specially designed for pregnant women. The higher the SPF value, the better the sunscreen effect, but the higher the SPF value, the stronger the irritation, which can easily lead to dry skin. Therefore, it is recommended that expectant mothers choose sunscreen products with a lower SPF value and less irritation. Choose sunscreen specifically designed for pregnant women, such as American Sugar Mommy, to reduce skin sensitivity. In order to reduce the activity of melanocytes, in addition to choosing sunscreen, it is also important to consume enough vitamin C every day. It is recommended that you supplement natural vitamin C and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in VC.
