How to take care of your skin during confinement?

In fact, many women no longer care about their image after they become pregnant or give birth. They often look like middle-aged women, even though they are only in their twenties. Especially for those mothers who are constrained by traditional ideas, they don’t even wash their faces during the confinement period. In fact, if you want to seize the best opportunity to care for your skin after childbirth, you must learn to start during the confinement period. So, how can women take care of their skin most effectively during confinement?

1. Keep your skin clean and moisturized

After giving birth, due to changes in hormone secretion in the body, the mother will sweat more easily and her skin will be more likely to become dry. Therefore, mothers in the confinement period must first clean their skin and change clothes frequently. When sweating, they must change the sweaty clothes and dry the body in time. They also need to wash their face and brush their teeth every day, and wash their hair and take a bath frequently, because unclean skin can easily cause infection or inflammation.

Moisturizing the skin during the confinement period is also very important. Mothers should drink more water and nutritious soups on a regular basis. They also need to use some natural moisturizing skin care products appropriately, which are all helpful in improving the dry and dull skin after childbirth.

2. Diet adjustment

Because vitamin C has the functions of whitening skin, enhancing skin vitality and antibacterial ability, mothers in confinement can eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage, kiwi, strawberry, apple, cucumber, etc. Lemon also contains a lot of vitamin C. It is good for the skin if postpartum women drink some honey lemon water regularly.

3. Pay attention to sun protection

Many women will develop pregnancy spots during the confinement period. In this case, if they do not pay attention to sun protection, the sunlight exposure will only cause the spots to worsen. Therefore, if women need to go out during the confinement period, they must take sun protection measures.

4. Massage

Mothers in confinement can do more massages, such as massaging the abdomen, waist, legs, etc. Scientific and effective massage can not only promote metabolism and detoxification in the body, but also enhance skin elasticity.

5. Maintain a good mood

If you are often in a bad state such as depression, anxiety, irritability, etc. during the confinement period, not only will your skin become dull and lifeless, but you will also be prone to wrinkles, thus accelerating aging. Therefore, postpartum mothers should pay attention to adjusting their mentality, keeping their bodies relaxed, facing various problems positively and optimistically, and not overwork. During the confinement period, they should ask their family members to help take care of the baby. They should pay attention to rest more and get enough sleep to have good skin.
