Facial cosmetics during pregnancy

Representatives of the fair sex always want to remain feminine and attractive, especially when they are preparing to become mothers. However, during this period their body undergoes great changes. Due to hormonal imbalance, expectant mothers get tired faster, many of them complain of swelling, dry skin, and stretch marks. Due to a lack of vitamins, the skin becomes dull, a capillary network and a rash appear. This is why it is so important to provide your skin and hair with proper care.

Cosmetics for pregnant women should be safe and consist of natural ingredients. Buy products labeled “organic cosmetics for pregnant women.” Cosmetics for stretch marks are especially relevant during pregnancy. In addition, you should worry about caring for your face, hair, and feet.

Choosing cosmetics for pregnant women

The expectant mother can consult a gynecologist and cosmetologist about the choice of care products. The first specialist knows about the individual characteristics of the pregnant woman’s body, and the second will help you choose the appropriate means. The choice of cosmetics depends on the duration of pregnancy and the general condition of the woman.

If the expectant mother independently selects a “beauty arsenal,” then she must be guided by the following considerations:

• It is recommended to purchase products labeled “cosmetics for pregnant and nursing mothers.” During the development of these products, the changes that occur in a woman’s body are taken into account.

• Avoid decorative cosmetics (foundation, mascara, lipstick, etc.), which contain a large amount of chemicals. Give preference to products based on plant extracts, oils and vitamins.

• Due to hormonal imbalance, the skin condition of the expectant mother worsens. As a result, the likelihood of age spots, stretch marks, dryness, or, conversely, increased fat content increases. You need to prepare for such troubles in advance and purchase means to prevent them. For example, creams for stretch marks will help maintain skin elasticity even after childbirth.

• Always check the expiration date before purchasing cosmetics. Do not under any circumstances buy a product if it is expired, as this can lead to not only allergies, but also a deterioration in your general condition. By the way, organic cosmetics always have a short shelf life.

• Study reviews about the cosmetic product you are interested in if there are a lot of negative responses, then discard this product.

• Decorative cosmetics for pregnant women should be hypoallergenic. Otherwise, the likelihood of an allergic reaction increases. This happens because the expectant mother’s body becomes very sensitive and reacts poorly even to the products she used previously.

It is strongly recommended to entrust the selection of cosmetics to qualified specialists.

Application of cosmetics

The body of each pregnant woman is individual and unique, and therefore the reaction to any cosmetic products (even natural ones) can be unpredictable. Therefore, before using any product, you should consult a gynecologist. Otherwise, the likelihood of negative phenomena that worsen the woman’s condition increases and disrupts the development of the fetus. Even those products that have been approved by a doctor should be used very carefully, and if adverse reactions occur, stop using them.

To avoid negative consequences, follow these rules:

• Remedies for stretch marks are recommended to be used from the beginning of the 2nd trimester twice a day (after a shower). The cream is applied to problem areas (stomach, chest, thighs) and gently rubbed in.

• To ensure that facial cosmetics (creams, tonics, milks, scrubs and gels) for pregnant women do not cause side effects, use them once a day. It is recommended to use them before going to bed, and then in a minimal amount.

• For makeup, use hypoallergenic mascara and lipstick. Tinting the face with cream or powder is allowed only in rare cases in the presence of pronounced defects, for example, pigmentation. Avoid contour pencils and shadows. If care products are needed to eliminate dermatological problems, then decorative cosmetics only disguise them, and therefore its use should be kept to a minimum.

• To prevent severe hair loss after childbirth, regularly use burdock oil until then. Give preference to organic shampoos and other safe hair products.

• It is not recommended to expose hair to chemicals during pregnancy. If you really want to change your hair color, consult your doctor before the procedure.

Natural cosmetics for pregnant women can preserve the beauty of the expectant mother and prevent many negative consequences of childbirth.

Skin changes during pregnancy. Pimples and age spots may appear on the face, and stretch marks and swelling on the body. What to do? Stick to proper nutrition, spend more time in the fresh air, and make changes to your beauty routine. We'll tell you which ones.

Types of cosmetics for pregnant women

Don't think that pregnant women need any special beauty products. Your usual set of cosmetics will just change slightly. Here's what you'll need:

  1. moisturizer with high SPF protection for the face
  2. nourishing hand cream
  3. body exfoliator
  4. thick body cream
  5. refreshing, anti-fatigue foot cream.

If pimples or pigmentation appear, as well as to prevent them, you will have to add a little more to your cosmetic arsenal.

For cleansing facial skin

There is a possibility that the usual gel for washing will no longer work. Due to hormonal changes, oily skin often approaches normal condition, and dry skin becomes even drier. When choosing a cleaning product, make sure it does not contain the following ingredients:

  1. salicylic acid (in the composition it is listed as Salicylic acid, BHA, Beta hydroxy acid or BHA)
  2. benzene
  3. phthalates (they are usually used as fragrances)
  4. ethylene oxide, which has antimicrobial properties.

These substances are not recommended for pregnant women.

Against stretch marks (striae)

Use remedies for stretch marks from the 12th week of pregnancy, when the belly begins to grow and the skin begins to lose elasticity and stretch.

There is an opinion that you won’t get stretch marks unless you gain a lot of weight. This is not entirely true: stretch marks can appear even with low weight in response to hormonal changes. Harbingers of stretch marks are severe itching and flaking. Then purple-gray scars appear, which turn white over time.

The best choice for expectant mothers is a special milk, cream or gel for stretch marks. Just a cream with a dense texture or balm will do. It would be good if it included:

  1. shea or jojoba butter: unlike rose, mint, chamomile, oregano, nutmeg and fennel oils, they are less likely to cause allergic reactions
  2. amino acids that accelerate cell renewal
  3. collagen to restore damaged tissue.

For legs

The load on the legs (and veins) increases every month, and remedies for heaviness in the legs and for the prevention of varicose veins can be a real salvation.

Nourishing foot cream and creams for calluses and corns will also come in handy. The more comfortable your feet are, the more enjoyable (and longer) walks in the fresh air will be, which are very beneficial.

For the chest

Often the breasts are the first to signal pregnancy - they swell and enlarge. And since the mammary glands do not have muscles in their structure, the ligaments begin to stretch. And if measures are not taken in time, the breasts may lose their shape and sag.

Choosing cosmetics for pregnant women

Many experts advise expectant mothers to use cosmetics with natural ingredients. But be careful: during pregnancy, the skin becomes more sensitive and reactive, irritation, redness, and itching may appear.

Compound

It is best to buy special cosmetics for pregnant women - they are the safest and most effective. But if for some reason you can’t choose a special product (for example, you don’t like the smell or consistency), focus on the following parameters:

  1. a small list of ingredients: the fewer there are, the lower the likelihood of allergies
  2. absence of dangerous components: for example, a frequent companion of self-tanning - dihydroxyacetone, or bergamot, which can cause irritation
  3. short shelf life (optimally 6 months).

Cosmetics during pregnancy

The question of whether pregnant women can use cosmetics has long lost its relevance. Several decades ago, there was an opinion that when carrying a child, you need to give up not only creams, lotions, lipstick and mascara, but also cutting your hair. Today, attitudes towards care procedures have changed many manufacturers produce products without harmful substances, suitable, including for pregnant women.

Few pregnant women need enough water and cleansers to care for their skin. Changes in hormonal levels and metabolism lead to problems that require the use of special cosmetics. Lotions, tonics, creams, oils and gels created for expectant mothers are hypoallergenic and safe for the baby.

Cosmetology for pregnant women means body treatments using sea salt and algae. Baths, wraps, and light massage (except for the abdominal area and in the absence of contraindications) will help you relax and relieve stress. It is allowed to make face masks using special cosmetics approved during pregnancy.

It is not recommended to carry out salon procedures that involve temperature changes and the use of chemical reactions. These include: chemical peeling, massage with heated stones, hot wraps, as well as any use of essential oils. It is worth holding off on electro- and photoepilation and lifting.

The use of conventional cosmetics can cause dermatitis and the appearance of age spots.

Decorative cosmetics for pregnant women should be hypoallergenic. We need to more carefully monitor the expiration date of each product: mascara, blush, eye shadow, lipstick. If possible, you should avoid using foundation it closes the pores, enhancing the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the composition of cosmetics. Products with retinol, soy and bergamot are prohibited. If there are no allergic reactions, you can buy products from companies you already know. At the same time, it is worth giving preference to products with natural ingredients, and ideally, with a safety mark for pregnant women.

To avoid unwanted consequences, you should adhere to the following rules:

The most necessary products during pregnancy are cosmetics for stretch marks and facial skin care. The right choice and timely start of use will help avoid problems.

Choosing a remedy for stretch marks

Stretch marks, or stretch marks, are one of the main skin problems during pregnancy. And the reasons are hormonal changes and weight gain. As a result of stretching and loss of elasticity, the inner layer of the skin is torn, and the damaged area is filled with connective tissue. At first, stretch marks look like purple scars, but after a while they turn white and become less noticeable. Read more about stretch marks during pregnancy→

Cosmetics for pregnant women against stretch marks help not only eliminate the problem that has already arisen, but also prevent its occurrence. It is best to start using the products in advance, as soon as the stomach begins to increase in size and stretch the skin. Stretch marks more often occur with insufficient hydration and a lack of vitamin E. Before they appear, the skin itches and flakes.

Cosmetics for stretch marks during pregnancy should be safe. You should be careful when choosing oils. They effectively soften the skin and retain moisture inside it, but can be dangerous when carrying a child and can lead to miscarriage.

Prohibited oils for the expectant mother are chamomile, mint, thyme, rose, oregano, cedar, ginger, nutmeg, fennel, parsley, basil, sage and cinnamon. All these plants may be present in other remedies for stretch marks, but in this case their concentration is much lower and cannot cause harm. The best option is to refuse to buy essential oil in favor of a softer option: cream, lotion, milk or gel.

Effective products for combating stretch marks should contain emollient oils (shea, jojoba) and components that improve blood circulation. Many manufacturers add vitamins, amino acids, collagen - all these compounds restore tissue. As a result, the skin surface becomes noticeably softer and smoother, flaking and dryness are eliminated.

Also, when choosing a product for stretch marks, you need to pay attention to the smell it should be unobtrusive and mild. In most products, fragrance additives reveal themselves upon contact with the skin, so if possible, it is worth applying a small sample of the product to the inner crease of your elbow. This will help not only to better evaluate the smell, but also to identify a possible allergic reaction.

In addition to the use of cosmetics, nutrition, wearing special underwear, a bandage, water procedures and physical activity play an important role in the fight against stretch marks. Strengthening skin tissue should occur not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

Choosing a facial skin product

Facial cosmetics are necessary, first of all, for pregnant women with oily and combination skin. These skin types are characterized by increased activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands, leading to the formation of acne. There are many remedies that can cope with this problem, but not all of them are safe for the expectant mother and baby.

When choosing cosmetics for pregnant women intended for facial skin, you need to pay attention to the composition.

The following components are dangerous:

  1. Salicylic acid. Widely used in products to combat acne and other rashes. It is contraindicated during pregnancy, as it can cause pathologies in the development of the fetus and complications of the gestation process. On the packaging this component is designated as Salicylic acid, BHA, Beta hydroxy acid (BHA).
  2. Retinoids. Compounds based on vitamin A. It stimulates the division of skin cells and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. Causes developmental disorders in the fetus. The packaging of products containing retinoids may indicate: Differin, Retin-A, Renova, Retinoic acid, Retinol, Retinyl linoleate, Retinyl palmitate, Tazorac and Avage.
  3. Phthalates. These are salts and esters of phthalic acid used as fragrances. Their toxic effect on the body has been identified for a long time.
  4. Hydroquinone and glautathione. The compounds have a whitening effect by acting on the enzymes that synthesize melanin.
  5. Dihydroxyacetone. It is present in self-tanners and leads to skin cancer, problems with the reproductive system, and mutagenic reactions.
  6. Parabens. They are used in many cosmetics and increase shelf life. Causes breast cancer and disorders of the reproductive organs.
  7. Ethylene oxide. It is a disinfectant component and makes the structure of the product softer. It has carcinogenic and mutagenic properties.
  8. Hormones. Despite the fact that phytoestrogens are replacing animal estrogens, their effect on the human body has not yet been fully studied.
  9. Sodium lauryl sulfate. Carcinogen, dangerous at concentrations greater than 2%. When using products with this compound, poisoning is possible.
  10. Benzene. It is a toxin that affects the bone marrow, causing blood cancer and anemia.

Facial skin care products should contain as many natural plant ingredients as possible. During pregnancy, many cosmetics can be replaced with traditional medicine: decoctions, infusions, mixtures.

Rules for using cosmetics for pregnant women

In order for the use of cosmetics during pregnancy to be truly safe, you need not only to be able to choose products, but also to apply them correctly:

  1. Milk, cream, gel or lotion for stretch marks can and should be used starting from the 13th week of pregnancy. At this time, the risk of miscarriage is already noticeably reduced, and the belly is just beginning to grow. Regular use of such products helps prevent the formation of stretch marks at a later date. Rub the cream (gel, lotion) into problem areas with light movements twice a day. It is best to carry out the procedure after a shower, then the active components will penetrate faster and deeper into the layers of the skin.
  2. It is enough to use facial skin care cosmetics once a day, best before bed, when the muscles are relaxed.
  3. You should use decorative cosmetics only when necessary. The less often the better. It is better not to use concealers such as foundation, concealer, or powder at all. Before going to bed, you need to thoroughly cleanse your facial skin of impurities and decorative cosmetics.
