Many women preparing for pregnancy and pregnant women feel that they will die at this stage and cannot use skincare products because the substances contained in skincare products can harm the baby in their belly. However, both women preparing for pregnancy and pregnant women are women! If skincare products are not used at this stage, by the time the child is born, she will truly be a yellow faced woman. So what skincare products can be used during the preconception period?
What skincare products can be used during the preconception period
Do not use skincare products casually during pregnancy preparation. I think it's best to use a baby specific brand, which is closer to natural ingredients, gentle, and less stimulating.
You can choose some daily skincare products suitable for pregnant women, which do not contain heavy metals, alcohol, hormones, mineral oils, and chemical fragrances, and are harmless to the fetus and pregnant women. You can drink more water and eat more fruits to supplement the daily nutrition and hydration needs of pregnant women.
What skincare products should not be used during pregnancy
1. Cannot contain hydroquinone
Hydroquinone, also known as hydroquinone, is a special organic compound that is toxic. When in contact with strong oxidants, it may release toxic gases that are harmful to health. Long term exposure may cause headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. Therefore, when choosing skincare products, this ingredient must not be included.
2. Cannot contain tetracycline
Tetracycline is a special fungicide that has a killing effect on many parasites on the face, so it is widely used in skincare products. However, tetracycline has strong side effects and drug resistance, and long-term use may lead to other bacterial diseases in the human body, so attention should also be paid.
3. Cannot contain retinol
Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is an unsaturated monobasic alcohol commonly used to treat eye diseases, maintain the health of epithelial tissue, and promote the production of immune proteins. However, excessive amounts of this component can easily lead to rickets, especially in fetuses and children, so expectant mothers must pay attention.
It can be seen that skincare products can be used during the preconception period, and women preparing for pregnancy can choose pregnancy specific skincare products or some baby specific skincare products, because the ingredients in these skincare products are relatively close to natural ingredients and have relatively low irritation. In addition, it is recommended to drink more water during pregnancy to replenish the moisture needed by the skin.
