Q: Do I need skincare during pregnancy?
a：of course！Absolutely!
Many people believe that pregnancy needs to be fetus as the core, avoiding all skincare products and cosmetics to avoid being harmed by skincare compounds. Is that really the case?
First of all, what has changed since pregnancy? What are the consequences if you don't intervene? Due to the spike in estrogen and progesterone in the body, there will be a dull yellow complexion, enlarged pores, rough pores, and slight edema. If left unchecked, the acceleration of aging is visible to the naked eye, and it will even achieve "postpartum aging."years old: "Oh
Many pregnant women have a dull complexion, some have acne, and most pregnant women have irregular pigmented spots on the cheeks, forehead, nose called brown spots. If these issues are not maintained during pregnancy, hormone levels gradually return to normal after childbirth, which can cause permanent damage, such as pigmentation.
In addition, during pregnancy, due to the gradual increase in the fetus in the abdomen, the abdomen is pulled, and even muscle fibers are broken, abdominal stretch marks (related to the individual's constitution and quality), and the abdomen is relaxed.
If interventions are taken during pregnancy, it is also possible to reduce the level of **damage and even drive away stretch marks. During pregnancy, rashes, pimples may also appear, which is an abnormal phenomenon, and it is recommended that pregnant women go to the department in time, once the itching occurs, but also to test liver function.

If you can, try to stay in a good mood during pregnancy。Very important! Remember, bad mood is the biggest killer of women's health.
I am currently 20w pregnant, and I have a history of bitterness in the early stages of pregnancy: since I was 8w pregnant, I can't eat hyperemesis gravidarum at all **Ketoacidosis almost lost my life, and I basically relied on hospitalization to restore my life in the first three months, but a series of diseases such as morning sickness have not improved.
Since pregnant women cannot take symptomatic medication, they can only drip glucose, electrolytes, and vitamins to correct electrolyte imbalances and acidosis, and keep the body moving in and out normally. Intramuscular injections of vitamin B1 are really painful. So in addition to despair, the mood is collapse, headache, heartburn, hunger, vomiting, a sense of impending death, lying in bed day and night, corroded by stomach acid, pricked by needles, sour and refreshing!

Dry hands and face (contact water emulsification is ineffective) directly wipe the makeup area, and the makeup removal effect is 360 degrees without dead ends! Since no preservatives are added, the shelf life is 4 months after opening.

The ingredients in this cleanser are free of parabens, preservatives and fragrances. Skincare products, I only go to *** or counters to buy!
Sun Protection: As we all knowUltraviolet rays are the main reason for darkening and aging, and sunscreen should be worn all year round！I used two different sun protection indicators: the light-resistant gold bottle has ingredients that should be used by pregnant women with caution, the blue bottle is the right choice, and the SPD35 is suitable for everyday life.
Pros: moisturizing, non-irritating, easy to push away, Disadvantages: greasy.
Slow film formation is still a FANCL sunscreen, and it must be used up after 6 months of opening. SPF 50 for outdoor activities in the scorching heat or going to the beach.

Water emulsion: Shiseido dprogram An muscle heart language balance water emulsion classic, unlimited repurchase. Sensitive skin mother, regulate water and oil, anti-allergy moisturizing, the upper face is very soft, especially suitable for pregnant mothers.

This is recommended by my sister, there is a traceable production batch number, origin, quality assurance, cold chain distribution, and a shelf life of 15 days.
Effect: Insist on improving skin tone, improving **elasticity, enhancing immunity, and currently no feeling. My body was injured early in pregnancy, resulting in low protein and the fetus was too small, so I insisted on eating one can of bird's nest every day. Many people say that eating bird's nest during pregnancy will make the baby white and tender, with thick hair, and the science still needs to be studied.
