Many women may have the habit of wearing makeup in their daily lives, which is not a big problem. However, if they want to have children, some women may worry that makeup will affect their pregnancy or the health of the fetus, especially lipstick, which may be eaten. So, can lipstick be applied during preconception?
Can I apply lipstick during pregnancy preparation?
Normally, cosmetics can be used during the preconception period. But one thing we need to know is that not everyone can be the first to know whether they are pregnant. In most cases, we only know after being pregnant for a long time.
So, for the sake of the fetus in our belly, we try not to use cosmetics as much as possible. We can still use regular skincare products. Many cosmetics add carcinogenic or pathogenic chemicals for certain purposes, so when choosing cosmetics, it is important to check for any harmful chemical components.
Can pregnant women apply lipstick?
1. It is better not to use it. The oil in lipstick is mainly lanolin. Although it is natural animal fat, it has strong adsorption. It can not only absorb various heavy metal trace elements harmful to human body in the air, but also absorb microorganisms such as Escherichia coli that can enter the fetal body, posing a threat to fetal health through the placenta. These dust, bacteria, viruses, etc. can not only penetrate through the mucous membrane of the lips, but are also more likely to be brought into the human body when drinking water or eating, which is harmful to both the mother and the fetus.
2. Long term application of lipstick can also cause dryness, flaking, and even lead to lip inflammation and lip allergies. Expectant mothers wearing lipstick to the hospital for prenatal check ups can also hinder doctors from assessing their condition.
3. Whether lipstick, lip gloss, lip gloss or lipstick, they are all composed of various oils, waxes, pigments and spices. The chemicals contained in them will have a certain impact on the human body, especially on the fetus. Foreign research has found that the commonly used pigment in lipstick, a red powder called acid eosin, can damage human genetic information and cause fetal abnormalities.
4. If expectant mothers have particularly dry lips, they can choose natural vitamin E, olive oil, or honey at home to moisturize their lips. If you are afraid of dryness when going out in winter, you can wear a mask to maintain the temperature and humidity of your lips.
Overall, it is best for women not to wear lipstick during the preparation period for pregnancy. If lipstick is necessary for special reasons, it is best to apply it occasionally rather than frequently to avoid any negative effects on pregnancy. If you are already pregnant but do not know yet, applying lipstick at this time may also have negative effects on your baby.
