For these reasons, it is important to have this time in a skincare routine. But the problem is, this time of pregnancy is very sensitive. Must take care of safe skin during pregnancy!
Although the barrier layer of our skin is our skin, many elements can penetrate this layer and enter our bloodstream and they can create various barriers including birth defects when they enter the body of your fetus through the placenta. So letโs find out today what are the things to keep in mind to take care of safe skin during pregnancy.
10 tips to take care of safe skin during pregnancy
Every day a variety of new products are coming in the market, but if you look at them a little bit, it is understood that they are marketed under different names with a mixture of different levels of the same ingredients. It is possible to avoid any risk if you are aware of certain elements. The things to keep in mind are discussed below-
1) Physical sunscreen
Chemical sunscreen cannot be used, use physical sunscreen. The difference between the two is that the chemical sunscreen that works penetrates our skin, whereas the physical sunscreen forms a layer on top of the skin. It is safe to use zinc oxide and titanium oxide which are the main constituents of sunscreen.
2) Retinoids
The use of retinoids is strictly prohibited. Retin A / acute, retinoids, and vitamin A โ all of these are considered unsafe during pregnancy. Studies have shown that these are the causes of various birth defects. Because retinoids are found in vitamin A, vitamin A is said to be used and avoided in the skin. However, beta-carotene obtained from vitamin A is considered safe.
3) Hydro-oxy acids
Lately, the use of hydro-oxidic acid has become very common in skin care. They are used as chemical exfoliators in skin care called AHA, BHA, PHA (AHA, BHA, PHA). All of these are basically to be avoided in pregnancy. The exception is lactic acid. Since it is made in large quantities in our body, it can be used. Many people say that it is safe to use glycolic acid. But since there is not enough information to call it safe, it is better to avoid it. Many skincare ingredients have citric acid at the bottom of the list, which means there are very few of them. This small amount of citric acid is used mainly to maintain the pH balance. So there is no problem in using these.
4) Salicylic acid
It is also used in acne treatment. However, it cannot be used in pregnancy. Can not be used with any salicylates, including tropical willow bark.
5) Ingredients to brighten the skin
Experts say that hydroquinone, alpha arbutin, licorice root, and kojic acid should not be used in pregnancy.
6) Snail secretion
It is best not to use benzoyl peroxide and snail secretions during pregnancy.
6) Paraben
Thatโs why we say paraben to avoid. But it does not carry any risk apart from pregnancy. However, it is best to use a paraben-free product at any time.
6) Hyaluronic acid/sodium hyaluronate
The only acid that can be used during pregnancy and which works very well in skin hydration is hyaluronic acid/sodium hyaluronate. Hyaluronic acid molecules are so large that they do not penetrate the skin. So it is safe to use. However, if a company claims that the hyaluronic acid in their product penetrates the skin and works inside, then it is better to avoid that product. Because in that case this acid can get into our blood vessels and enter the babyโs body.
9) Essential Oil
Among the essential oils, except willow bark and neem, it is safe to use a small amount. However, many people say that essential oils or extracts should be avoided at this time.
10) which cannot be done
Sunless Tanning (DHA), Laser Therapy, Botox, Fillers, and Stem Cells / Growth Factors are also not allowed during pregnancy.
Although most of the products are safe during pregnancy because the skin becomes very sensitive most of the time, it can cause irritation or redness on the skin. If so, it is best not to use that product. Before you buy or use any product, check the list of ingredients on its label to see if it is safe for your unborn baby to use. Although most of these product restrictions do not occur during the breastfeeding period, many ingredients are still prohibited during this time. Little by little a person is growing inside you, everything you eat, whatever you use is affecting him. So like any other time, no product can be used at this time. It is important to consider whether the ingredients used in your skincare products are pregnancy-safe. The days of beautiful and safe mothers.
