What should pregnant women pay attention to when applying facial masks?

In daily life, most women have the habit of applying facial masks, but everyone knows that there are many precautions when applying facial masks, such as the frequency of applying facial masks should not be too high, and the time of each application should not be too long. In particular, you should choose the most suitable mask based on your skin condition, etc. In addition, women should be cautious when applying facial masks during menstruation and pregnancy. If a postpartum woman applies a facial mask, she must pay attention to the following matters.

First, can I apply a facial mask during confinement?

It is okay to use facial masks during confinement, but you should pay special attention to the choice of masks. Because facial masks are also skin care products, and most cosmetics contain lead. If these harmful substances enter the skin and thus the body, natural breast milk will also be affected. However, the nutrition during breastfeeding is converted from the mother's blood. If proper care is taken, there will be no problem at all.

Second, the correct way to apply a facial mask during confinement

1. Try to choose facial masks specially designed for pregnant women. Such masks contain fewer harmful ingredients and can still achieve skin care effects, making them safer to use.

2. New mothers should try to use facial mask when the baby is sleeping. This way, when the baby wakes up, the mask will be almost absorbed and there is no need to worry about the baby coming into contact with it.

3. For new mothers, applying facial masks has little effect on the body, and the weather is dry now, so proper facial care is also possible and will not affect the baby.

4. During the confinement period, be sure to heat the mask in hot water before use to avoid postpartum diseases.

5. The skin is very loose after childbirth, so starting from 2 weeks after the body recovers, you can use lotions and essences with mild moisturizing effects to provide nutrition to the rough skin. Only when the skin is replenished with enough moisture can it brighten the skin tone, refine wrinkles, reduce oil secretion, and reduce the occurrence of acne.

Third, precautions for applying facial mask during confinement

1. Many whitening masks contain heavy metals such as copper, mercury, and lead. These heavy metals will enter the mother's body and even endanger the safety of the fetus. Mothers must stay away from such substances.

2. Alpha acid products are also prohibited, but facial masks containing alpha alcohol and alpha aldehyde ingredients can still be used on the face.

3. Ordinary facial masks on the market generally contain three major ingredients: preservatives, aromatic compounds, and pigments, which are substances that you must not touch during pregnancy. At the same time, they are also the three major substances that cause skin allergies. The more complex the fragrance ingredients, the greater the amount used, the greater the irritation, and the more likely it is to cause skin allergies and photosensitivity reactions.
