Can I wear makeup while breastfeeding?

During pregnancy, many female friends cannot use cosmetics, so they go out without makeup for a long time, which will lead to their faces being unable to be modified. After giving birth, they will also worry about cosmetics during the breastfeeding period because they think about their babies, so they dare not put on makeup. In fact, some natural plant cosmetics can be used by appropriately reducing the addition of spices, so you can wear makeup during breastfeeding.

Cosmetics are a very common daily necessity, especially for women. However, experts warn that some cosmetics contain carcinogens and should be used with caution, especially by pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Experts say that fragrances synthesized from coal tar are widely used in cosmetics, and the aldehyde products in them are highly toxic to DNA, which can easily lead to DNA deformity and mutation, thereby inducing cancer. The pigments in cosmetics contain various heavy metals such as lead, chromium, and mercury. Some cosmetics also contain estrogen. These cosmetics are absorbed through the skin and long-term use can cause uterine cancer and breast cancer. Some cosmetics also contain the strong carcinogen nitrosodiethanolamine, which can easily induce liver cancer.

Experts particularly point out that lipstick is a complex chemical product, many of which contain pigments and coal tar dyes that are harmful to the human body, and some pigments have direct carcinogenic effects on the human body.

Experts say that the toxicity of cosmetics is a long-term effect that is not easy to detect in the short term, but it will induce cancer over time. Therefore, cosmetics must be used with caution, especially by pregnant and breastfeeding women, to prevent carcinogens and teratogens in cosmetics from entering the body and sneaking into the fetus, or entering the body of children through breast milk, and poisoning the health of the fetus or infant. In addition, children should also avoid using cosmetics because their skin is delicate and has strong absorption capacity. Carcinogens and teratogens can easily accumulate in the body, which may become a "time bomb" that induces cancer in the future.
