The harm of using anti-freckle cream during breastfeeding

Many women are prone to developing freckles on their faces during breastfeeding. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Some freckles will disappear on their own, while others will persist for a long time. Freckles are pigment spots that have a great impact on women's image. For women, the appearance of such pigment spots is definitely intolerable. They want to use freckle cream to solve the problem, but they are worried about the impact on breastfeeding. So, what are the dangers of using anti-freckle cream during breastfeeding?

Can I use anti-freckle cream during breastfeeding?

You cannot use anti-freckle cream during breastfeeding. The reason is that anti-freckle cream contains a large amount of hormones, which will be passed to the baby through breast milk and cause harm to the baby. Freckle removal products are generally chemical products, which contain large amounts of harmful substances such as lead, mercury and hormones. If you apply freckle removal cream on the skin, it may affect breast milk. If you have this kind of chloasma on your face, you can make some freckle removal masks yourself, or eat more foods rich in vitamin C, which can effectively lighten the spots and slow down the deposition of melanin. You can also prick a vitamin E capsule and apply it to the area with chloasma.

Under normal circumstances, it is very common for women to use skin care products, but new mothers who are breastfeeding have to consider the health of their babies, so they may have doubts about whether they can use skin care products during breastfeeding. During breastfeeding, some skin care products cannot be used, such as those containing chemical substances or irritants (you need to identify this yourself), because skin care products will be absorbed through the mother's skin and enter the baby's body through breast milk. At this time, the baby's skin is delicate and the immunity is not sound enough, so the body's resistance to these harmful substances is weak, which can easily cause harm to the baby. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers must not use skin care products containing chemical substances.

How to take care of your skin during breastfeeding

1. Surface care. Pay attention to skin moisturizing. In daily life, drink more water and nutritious soups. This will not only provide sufficient milk for your baby, but also replenish the missing water for yourself. In addition, you should also perform simple massage, just like doing eye exercises, to protect your eyes and avoid wrinkles around the eyes.

2. Ensure adequate sleep. Studies have found that if you don’t get enough sleep after giving birth, it will affect your weight and easily lead to weight gain, which is particularly detrimental to your body shape recovery. Therefore, if women want to maintain good skin and figure after giving birth, the first thing is to ensure adequate sleep of about 7 hours a day.

3. Tighten your abdomen anytime and anywhere. The part of the body that is most likely to deform after childbirth is the abdomen. If you want to restore your body shape, new mothers should remind themselves to tighten their abdomen at all times, whether sitting, standing, walking or lying down. Make it a habit, so that the abdomen will not become too large and the skin will not become loose.

4. Keep a comfortable mood. A person's mood can also have a good regulating effect on the skin. A healthy mentality, a happy mood and a positive attitude towards life have a better effect on the normal metabolism of the skin. On the contrary, if a person is in a state of depression for a long time, the facial skin cannot be stretched, and wrinkles are prone to appear. Simple diet and exercise can prevent premature skin aging.
