Skin problems during pregnancy 4 Stretch marks Among the skin symptoms that pregnant mommy is most afraid of, stretch marks are the champion, and mottled and irregular lines cross her stomach, which makes mommy afraid to show her stomach easily. Dr. Cai Zonghua pointed out that the appearance of stretch marks is a scar formed by the tearing of collagen and elastin due to skin stretching, which is usually related to heredity, personal physique and weight gain speed.
In addition to the abdomen, stretch marks also spread all over the inner thighs, shoulders, chest and waistlines on both sides. The lines are pink at first, then purple, and then slowly turn white. Once the stretch marks are produced, they will gradually fade over time, but they will not disappear completely.

Stay away from maintenance mines during pregnancy. Dr. Cai Zonghua reminded that although the skin needs careful care during pregnancy, the skin sensitivity of pregnant mommy is high, so it is not suitable to use complicated maintenance procedures as before pregnancy, so as not to increase the burden on the skin. At the same time, to choose products with simple ingredients, the easiest way is to buy care products marked by the medical beauty maintenance brand as special for infants or pregnant women.
Mineral 1 A acid and salicylic acid A acid often appear in acne medicines and skin care products. At present, medicine has confirmed that oral A acid has teratogenic risk. Although oral A acid will not cause serious side effects, it is still not recommended for pregnant mothers. Salicylic acid can provide exfoliation, acne decomposition, moisturizing and other effects on the skin, but animal experiments have found teratogenic effects, so it is recommended to avoid using it in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Landmine 2 fixative Many beauty and skin care products with artificial flavors are added. In order to make the fragrance last, fixative will be added. This is a high concentration of environmental hormone, which is difficult to be metabolized after long-term accumulation in the human body. Use during pregnancy will increase the risk of fetal growth retardation, while baby girls are prone to precocious puberty. Dr. Cai Zonghua suggested that pregnant mothers should avoid contact with scented cleaning products, cosmetics and care products.
Dr. Cai, a hair dye product of Landmine 3, stressed that during pregnancy, a large number of chemical components in hair dye products may penetrate into the body through the scalp, causing harm to the fetus; Hair dyes can easily cause allergies. If you have allergies during pregnancy, due to the limited drugs available, it may delay your illness, which is not conducive to the health of pregnant mommy.
Landmine 4 cosmetic products Cosmetic products contain a lot of chemicals, and most of them have adverse effects on human body. Dr. Cai Zonghua reminded that if pregnant mommy needs makeup, try to give priority to light makeup. In addition, nail polish, nail polish, polishing water and other products will be directly inhaled into the body because of their volatile gases, which will affect the fetus through blood circulation and should be avoided during pregnancy.
Three elements of pregnancy maintenance-cleanliness+moisturizing+sun protection-Dr. Cai pointed out that the factors of hormone fluctuation during pregnancy can easily lead to skin conditions and even allergies. The maintenance method during pregnancy should be based on the principle, and master the three essentials of "cleaning, moisturizing and sun protection".
Main points 1 Moderate cleaning Dr. Cai suggested that pregnant mothers choose mild and non-* * cleaning products, choose different products according to the skin changes in Xia Dong in two seasons, and adjust the properties of cleaning products according to special needs. If you have a lot of oil or acne, you can choose a special acne cleanser. If your skin is dry, you can use a bathing agent for sensitive muscles, or rinse it directly with water. For pregnant mothers who usually have exfoliating habits, Dr. Cai reminded that exfoliating products should be avoided during pregnancy to avoid harm to the skin.
Essentials 2 Strengthening Moisturizing Dr. Cai mentioned that the key point of moisturizing depends on the skin condition and environmental temperature and humidity conditions. When the skin is dry or the weather is cold, you can choose moisturizing products with high oil content. You can switch to skin-friendly and refreshing moisturizing products when you have a large amount of oil, acne and sultry summer. The best maintenance time is after bathing, when the water retention of the whole body skin is better. Wipe a little moisture on your skin and then apply moisturizing cream immediately, which will make your skin look tender and tender.
Essentials 3 Comprehensive sun protection is not an exclusive maintenance process in summer. You should form the good habit of active sun protection all year round and take sun protection as part of daily maintenance. Especially during pregnancy, melanocytes are very active and the skin is easily aggravated by ultraviolet rays. Dr. Cai suggested that the use of physical sunscreen products suitable for pregnant mothers can prevent the pigmentation problem from getting worse.
Generally speaking, the higher the SPF value of sunscreen products, the better the sunscreen effect. However, sunscreen products with high SPF value are greasy and easy to aggravate acne. Pregnant mothers are advised to choose suitable sunscreen products according to their skin conditions, and don't forget to make up often. When going out, use umbrellas, hats and thin coats to reduce the exposure of the sun to the skin and minimize the chances of sunburn and tanning.
Physical sunscreen can be divided into physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen. Most of the physical sunscreen products are made of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO), while others are chemical sunscreen components. Chemical sunscreen ingredients are suspected to be absorbed into the blood and affect the fetus. Pure physical sunscreen has a low probability of causing allergies, but it may cause dry skin. It is suggested that pregnant mothers must strengthen moisturizing when using physical sunscreen.
