What is the correct way to apply facial mask during confinement?

During pregnancy and confinement, women are not allowed to use many skin care products, and they are also not allowed to wear makeup. In addition, due to changes in hormones and diet in the body, many women's skin will become very poor during confinement. This may affect the mood of many new mothers. At this time, some people will think of maintaining their skin by applying facial masks. So how to apply facial masks correctly during confinement?

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, pay attention to the mask during the confinement period

Many mothers are dissatisfied with their faces becoming dry and yellow after pregnancy, so they are eager to whiten their faces. So you blindly listen to the "magic skin care products" on the market and various common chemical whitening masks.

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. Moms must stay away from such substances.

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

3. Ordinary facial masks on the market generally contain three major ingredients: preservatives, aromatic compounds, and pigments. These 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.

So it is possible to use facial masks during confinement. Just pay attention to the above-mentioned matters during use. In addition, during the confinement period, you should also pay attention to a proper diet, which is more beneficial to your skin. As long as mothers take care of their skin safely and healthily, they can have a beautiful and smooth face during pregnancy and confinement period.
