Skin deteriorates and acne develops after pregnancy

After a woman becomes pregnant, the hormones in her body change. Some women may experience worse skin and acne after pregnancy, which is normal. Because women's oil secretion will be more vigorous after pregnancy, which will cause pores to be blocked and form acne, pregnant women at this time must do a good job of cleaning their faces. Some women develop acne because the rapid increase of estrogen and progesterone in the body causes great changes in the endocrine system.

There are several main reasons for acne during pregnancy:

1. Excessive oil secretion during pregnancy

During pregnancy, pregnant mothers have vigorous sebum secretion and the secretion of sebaceous glands increases. Many pregnant mothers will feel that their faces are easily oily, and the oil clogs the pores on their faces. In addition, the air pollution is serious nowadays. The dust and bacteria in the air can easily invade the skin of pregnant mothers through the pores, clogging the pores. The oil accumulation cannot be effectively discharged, and acne becomes a natural thing.

2. The effect of rising estrogen

After pregnancy, the mother's estrogen, progesterone, progesterone, etc. increase, and the body's endocrine system also changes accordingly. Changes in hormones in the body manifest themselves on the surface as changes in the skin. Some pregnant women will have acne on their faces, some will have greasy hair, and some will love to sleep...

Pregnant women have rapidly rising hormone levels, making them more prone to acne, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. For some people, it may continue into breastfeeding. Fortunately, most pregnant women will return to normal after giving birth and their acne conditions will improve.

3. Pregnant women have different skin types

Some pregnant women have dry skin, while others have oily skin. It is understood that people with oily skin are more prone to acne because the excretion of hormones in their bodies is not balanced during pregnancy, and oily skin prevents the release of these hormones. These hormones will accumulate together and form what we call acne. Therefore, for pregnant women who have oily skin, it is easy to get acne.

4. Eating habits are also related

In addition to the above factors, "not controlling your diet" can also cause acne in pregnant women. Unhealthy eating habits, preference for greasy and spicy food, and dislike of fruits and vegetables will lead to excessive accumulation of toxins in the body and cause acne. It is best to avoid eating fried and irritating foods and adjust the function of the digestive tract. Try to keep your bowel movements smooth, eat more whole grains and fiber-rich foods, and develop good eating habits.
