After female friends become pregnant, their body temperature may be higher than usual, which can easily lead to skin dehydration and cause some adverse symptoms. Especially in winter, dehydration can become more severe, leading to symptoms such as dry skin and itching. So, what should pregnant women do if their whole body skin is dry and itchy?
If a pregnant woman has dry and itchy skin all over her body, she needs to prepare a weakly acidic maternity specific shower gel for herself. And when taking a shower, the water temperature should not be too high, preferably close to the skin temperature. If the water temperature is too high, it can easily lead to increased itching, and do not rub vigorously during bathing to avoid skin damage.
For the problem of dry skin during pregnancy, you can apply some moisturizer, which can form a protective layer on the surface of the skin, thereby avoiding excessive evaporation of moisture. This can effectively improve the dryness of the skin and relieve itching. However, it should be noted that the skin of pregnant women is more sensitive than usual, so the skincare products used should not contain irritating ingredients and should choose natural maternity specific skincare products.
Pregnant women should change their clothes every day, and it is best to wear soft and loose cotton underwear to avoid skin irritation and itching. In addition, pregnant women can eat more foods rich in plant fats, such as mangoes, pineapples, and coconuts. Do not consume spicy, stimulating, or easily allergenic foods on a regular basis.
