How to take care of your skin during confinement?

Pregnancy, confinement, and breastfeeding are all special periods for women. Things that can be done at other times may not be possible at this time, such as the most common skin care. As for the question of whether or not to take care of the skin during the confinement period, every mother has a different opinion. Some think that it is better not to take care of the skin, so as not to have a bad effect on the baby, while others think that it doesn’t matter. If you don’t do proper maintenance, you will become an aunt after the confinement period, and it will be too late to make up for it by then. In fact, everyone’s concerns about this issue are correct. So how can we have the best of both worlds? That requires new mothers to make sure not to choose functional skin care products, such as whitening, acne removal, freckle removal, etc. Let’s take a detailed look at the things to pay attention to about confinement skin care.

1. New mothers are weak after giving birth, and some things that are harmless to ordinary people may become harmful to them. For example, absorbed skin care products will be passed from the mother to the baby through breast milk and touch. Therefore, new mothers who want to resume their pre-pregnancy skin care immediately after delivery should be careful. For the health of the baby, ordinary skin care products cannot be used during breastfeeding.

2. Pregnancy and five years after childbirth are the most critical periods for women's skin care. The skin during this period is irreversible. If the skin problems are not properly handled, it will affect the woman's future image, marriage, life, etc., and will cause psychological pressure on women. Therefore, whether during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the choice of skin care products needs to be cautious.

3. If you do not take good care of your skin, the direct damage caused to your skin is equivalent to the natural aging process of 10 to 13 years. In addition, the natural aging rate of your skin after childbirth is 33% to 48% faster than before pregnancy, and you will enter what is known as the "growth and decline period" in medicine ahead of time.

4. Skin care during pregnancy, lactation and even within 5 years after childbirth is of great significance to a woman’s skin health throughout her life. If the best maintenance stage is missed, it is often difficult to remedy the situation later.

5. New mothers can use some lotion, eye cream, moisturizing cream and stretch mark repair products to care for their skin. These basic skin care products can not only solve your skin problems, but also keep you beautiful and help you recover faster than others after childbirth!
