The skin during pregnancy is very sensitive, so you should use mild, non-irritating cleansers every time you wash your face (pregnant mothers can choose soybean, rice, etc. pregnancy cleansers to cleanse their skin). Due to dry skin, the frequency of face washing should be reduced to twice a day.

2. After washing, pat your face gently with your hands a few times, wait until the water is half dry, apply a mild moisturizer evenly on your face, and gently massage. This will help maintain skin moisture and promote blood circulation in the skin. If conditions permit, it is recommended that pregnant mothers follow the standard six steps of pregnancy skin care: cleansing - moisturizing - essence nourishing - eye protection - moisturizing - isolation and protection, and use essence, eye cream, isolation cream and other products. Of course, it is best to choose skin care products specially for pregnant women during pregnancy, such as Qinrun.

3. Try to avoid eating spicy foods, biscuits and instant noodles, and do not drink strong tea and coffee, otherwise it will make your skin drier and duller.

4. Drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and take some vitamin B2 and C tablets if necessary to prevent dry and cracked skin.

Pregnant women need to drink plenty of water every day to deal with the problem of dry skin. After washing up in the morning and before going to bed at night, be sure to apply moisturizing water, moisturizing lotion or moisturizing cream to ensure your skin is hydrated. If you are in an unventilated room and the heating or air conditioning is on for a long time, it is recommended to place a humidifier or a basin of water in the room to increase the humidity of the air. However, it is best for expectant mothers to walk in a ventilated place so that their skin can breathe fresh air.

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

VC and B6 are two magic weapons for skin regeneration and reconstruction, and these two elements are mostly derived from fruits and vegetables. Therefore, pregnant women should eat more fruits and vegetables, which can not only supplement nutrition but also be good for the skin. If your skin feels particularly dry, you need to consume more foods containing unsaturated fatty acids and linoleic acid, such as vegetables and fish, to improve dry skin.

However, it is not recommended to supplement VC and B6 during pregnancy, so taking medication during pregnancy must be recommended by a doctor. Even for vitamins, the more is not necessarily better for pregnant women.

3. Take care of sensitive skin

When choosing facial cleansing products, avoid scrubs and alcohol-containing fragrances. When purchasing lotions and creams, avoid oily products because these skin care products may irritate the skin of pregnant women. When using moisturizing lotion or cream, try to use small circular motions and massage your face several times. When washing items, it is best to wear gloves and avoid letting sensitive and fragile skin come into direct contact with detergents.
