Women, after you become mothers, have your skin improved or worsened?
Mrs. Qi often hears that changes in appearance during pregnancy can indicate the birth of boys and girls: "If your mother becomes ugly, she will have a boy; if your mother's skin becomes better, she will be pregnant with a girl."
Mrs. Qi was not sure to stamp this sentence until she gave birth to a son and a daughter - nonsense!
I remember back then, when I was pregnant with my brother, I was still full of collagen. After I got pregnant, my figure developed twice, with a breast and buttocks, and from the back, I also felt older. I often felt that I was the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world. Mr. Qi praised me for being more feminine after I got pregnant. The only best friend who has known each other for more than 20 years was just after I gave birth to a question: "I guess you will have a son. You have really become ugly, especially your nose is obviously bigger!" (Me os: What the hell!)
But when I was pregnant with my sister, it felt completely different. First of all, after all, I was "destroyed" by my brother for several years, and my face had a few more wrinkles, and my foundation was completely incomparable to my first child. Secondly, my second child has been inexplicably allergic since he was pregnant, and he has suffered nosebleeds every now and then. The two nasolabial folds on his face have been red for a long time. In addition, my skin color is very white. From a distance, it looks like a circle of his lips, like a red triangle with a capital bold on his face, which is both ugly and super weird.
There were still many jobs that needed to show my face during that time, so I could only hope for concealer. However, the saddest thing about sensitive stars is that the more you use cosmetics to cover the skin, the more skin on your face will become redder. During that time, my bare face was simply too tragic! Every day when Mr. Qi wakes up and sees me, he complains: "Wow, you have become a black-mouthed dog again..." (My os: I want to kill you!)
I made a quick decision to stop all the skin care products I usually use. But, what brands can I change to save my face?
As a pregnant allergic star, I can no longer choose skin care products based on my usual understanding of my skin. I don’t believe that those small brands that are named after the skin care products of pregnant women can have more amazing skin care effects than big brands. So, I simply chose to be a strict "ingredient party" in a special period, first start with the ingredients steadily, and then consider the experience and effect of use.
STEP 1
First, according to the safety classification of beauty ingredients in the US Food and Drug Administration FDA for pregnancy, , quenish the ingredients that need special attention:
Note: FDA divides beauty ingredients into five levels A, B, C, D, and X. Only A and B, which can be used safely without affecting fetal health.
1. Salicylic acid: It belongs to C in safety grading, and is often found in anti-inflammatory, anti-acne and exfoliating products, and some shampoos can also be found in them. It will be safer to use glycolic acid during pregnancy.
2. Benzoyl peroxide: C, commonly found in acne-removing products, poses certain risks to the fetus.
3. Hydroquinol: Class C, is a powerful skin whitening agent. Even if you have spots during pregnancy, don’t risk using it.
4. Water aluminum chloride: Class C, commonly used in antiperspirants. It can affect the cells in sweat and should be avoided during pregnancy.
5. Retinoic acid (retinoic acid): a commonly used drug in dermatology, belonging to Class X, and is known to cause fetal birth defects.
STEP 2
I then found the following sensitive ingredients that should be avoided as much as possible according to the advice of the dermatologist:
1. Essential oils: If the essential oil is used improperly, it is harmful even in a non-pregnant state. Tea tree oil and rosemary oil should be avoided during pregnancy. The former can cause estrogenic effects, while the latter can increase blood pressure and cause uterine contractions.
2. Formaldehyde: Many nail polishes contain higher formaldehyde, and long-term exposure will increase the risk of fertility problems or miscarriage.
3. Hair dye: Frequent changes in product formulation make it very difficult to assess potential risks. For safety reasons, doctors recommend that pregnant women not dye their hair within the first 12 weeks, when the fetus is in an important stage of body parts and organ formation.It is OK to dye your hair occasionally afterwards.
4. Chemical sunscreen: During pregnancy, physical sunscreen should be used, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide , mineral components such as are safer.
5. Fragrance, alcohol: easy to cause sensitization.
Based on the above standards, I strictly screened out a list of skin care products during pregnancy. Then, based on this, I selected the following products based on my experience and effects, which allowed me to safely and smoothly pass the most sensitive and picky period.
1, facial cleansing
I pay the most attention to skin care, because I should use matte exfoliating products carefully during pregnancy, so the facial cleansing process should be more particular.
Fulifang silk facial cleansing foam : for daily face washing, it is an amino acid facial cleansing product, without soap base, and the foam is very rich, gentle and clean. The ingredients also contain nicotinamide and some safe whitening and freckle removal ingredients, which kills multiple birds with one stone. It is very friendly to my sensitive skin mother who is prone to dullness and spots.
Suisai Jialibao enzyme cleansing powder : It has strong cleaning power, so it’s almost done with 1-2 pieces a week, so I just think it’s deep cleaning.
2, toner /element water
The water locking ability of sensitive skin is relatively weak. If the moisturizing products are not quickly connected to the skin after cleansing, the moisture in the skin will soon be lost, and it will be more difficult to connect to other products later.
HABA Moisturizing and Softening Water : The famous G-dew is a toner that can be used to wet compress and plays a first aid role when the skin is red.
SK-IIShenxianshui: The only product I have retained and used from before pregnancy to after pregnancy. In the past, I often carried a bottle of small samples with me when I was on a business trip, and I would accept it when my skin was not suitable for the local conditions! This time I got pregnant, I also flew to several places to shoot shows. Yes, it was the kind of variety show that was still waiting for the cold day at 12 a.m.
When I was 16 weeks pregnant, I went to film Mango TV's "I Am a Great Beauty". I was too hard~
Fortunately, there was a bottle of fairy water in my suitcase. When I stayed up late in the cold wind in the foreign land, I could quickly adjust the water and oil balance, so that my skin could quickly drink the essence and restore the moisturizing and elasticity.
3, Essence
During pregnancy, I replaced all the essence with essence oil . The advantage is that it is more moisturizing and moisturizing, and applying the belly to help prevent stretch marks. It is very convenient to use multiple uses in one bottle.
DHCh Pure Olive Glow Essence Oil : Pure Oil Olive Fruit Oil Ingredients. As a southerner, I feel that applying it on the whole face will be a little oily, but using a drop of the rough peeling area will be very effective. It is also very suitable to use it when it is dry in winter.
HABA Squalane Pure Beauty Oil: Pure Squalane ingredients, which is originally one of the main lipids of the skin, so it is not stress-absorbed. Compared with the olive oil in DHC above, it will feel refreshing. It is OK to use the whole face every day. It will be more refreshing when rubbing the palm of your hand and pressing it on your face.
IPSA Moisturizing Essence Stick : This is a solid moisturizing essence, dry skin, mother, a small one can be carried with you to save the redness and skin. I personally feel that it is better than a moisturizing spray.
4, Facial Cream
For the sake of safety, you should suspend the use of functional products during pregnancy, including freckle removal, whitening, acne removal, anti-wrinkle, etc. Pay attention to basic moisturizing work, so that the skin and the body can "drink" enough water. After reaching the balance of water and oil, skin problems will occur less.
Curel Kerun Infiltrating Moisturizing Cream : A must-have cosmetic when you go to Japan. It is really a blessing for sensitive skin. After all, a large bottle is not expensive. It is not painful to apply thickly, and it is easy to absorb and not sticky. I tried this cream when I was the editor-in-chief of a magazine, but my skin was in good condition at that time, so I didn’t think it was so powerful. This time, the outbreak of pregnancy sensitivity made me realize it. Now I'm not red and peeling, but I'm still using it for basic moisturizing to keep my face stable and hydrated.
5, sun protection
0 It is indeed very easy to develop spots during pregnancy, so daily sun protection is more important. The first choice is to use physical sun protection product.
FANCLSun protection isolation dew : The physical sun protection ingredients are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. FANCL is very famous in the pregnant women's industry, so there is no need to say much about safety. The inevitable small disadvantage of physical sun protection is that it is easy to whiten, but this piece of film is quite fast and has a certain effect of modifying the skin tone. It is acceptable for cold white skin like me, but mothers with darker skin tone should choose carefully.
6, Facial Mask
Many medical beauty projects cannot be done during pregnancy, especially invasive beauty methods are not recommended. Stock up more facial masks and enjoy them at home.
Minon Milk Amino Acid Mask : Super hydrating moisturizing mask, can be used as a first aid mask. It has a jelly texture, and it feels good to use and is very comfortable.
IPSA clay massage mask : Cleansing mask, using natural mineral mud ingredients to absorb dirt in pores, is a gentle exfoliation product that can also be used for sensitive skin. You can focus on massage in the T area for a while, and it feels refreshing and not tight after use.
7, Lip
Lip products are easy to eat into the stomach, so you should still pay attention to it. You must be careful of heavy metal ingredients, preferably not even flavors, as simple and easy to use is enough.
ettusais Aidua Lip Protection Serum : A star product of Shiseido's cosme Awards . I have repurchased it N times, strongly recommend it! My lips are super skin-skinny in winter. I have changed a lot of lip balms before but it didn't work until I encountered this one. It also has sun protection function, which can be said to be very versatile.
DHC Lip Balm : The cream is colorless and odorless, but there are often some cute IP cooperation models on the packaging. Daily use, high cost performance.
8, body
Although stretch marks are more related to genetics, I still believe that applying them is definitely better than not, at least it can maintain the moisturizing and elasticity of the skin.
Mama&Kids Anti-Stretch Mark Cream : This body cream has undergone multiple sensitivity tests and can be used for babies. Because there is no spice, it can also be used during morning sickness.
or above is the list of main skin care products from pregnancy to lactation period . Sensitive skin + hormones during pregnancy are erratic, which is really difficult to serve. Fortunately, there are always more solutions than problems! I hope everyone can still maintain a beautiful state and mood during a fragile and sensitive period!
Finally, I want to do a gossip survey, are you giving birth to a girl or a boy? Do you think that becoming beautiful or ugly when pregnant has something to do with having boys and girls? Welcome to chat together in the message area!
