The maintenance of women's skin has always been a hot topic. Women hope to maintain their youthfulness forever, even if they are pregnant, they also hope that their skin can always stay in a good state. Therefore, skincare products have become essential. So now, let's talk about whether skincare products can still be used during pregnancy?
Pregnant women also need skincare, so they can use skincare products, but they need to choose according to their own situation. During pregnancy, the baby absorbs nutrients through the umbilical cord. The mother's arterial blood vessels are compressed, and blood is squeezed into the umbilical cord and absorbed by the baby. Skincare products mainly penetrate the epidermal layer and are not directly connected to arterial blood vessels, so cosmetics will not reach the umbilical cord through arterial blood vessels and be absorbed by infants. Therefore, the use of skincare products by pregnant women will not affect the fetus.
When choosing skincare products, it is important to choose reputable manufacturers and use them correctly. It is best to choose skincare products specifically for pregnant women. It should also be noted that essential oil products should be avoided during pregnancy. Not all essential oils are harmful, but because the molecules of essential oils are small, they can easily penetrate the skin and be absorbed into the bloodstream to avoid affecting the fetus.
When pregnant women choose skincare products, they must pay attention to the ingredients and try to choose skincare products that do not contain preservatives or fragrances. During pregnancy, it is only necessary to choose skincare products with moisturizing and hydrating effects. Skincare products with whitening effects are not suitable for pregnant women because the ingredients of whitening products are complex to avoid adverse effects.
