Can I use a facial mask while breastfeeding?

You should not use various cosmetics when breastfeeding, and it is best not to use facial masks. Of course, if it is a homemade fruit mask without adding other chemical ingredients, it can still be used. During breastfeeding, special attention should be paid to not using cosmetics or cleaning products with other chemical ingredients on the breasts. It is best to clean the breasts with warm water. Regarding the question of whether you can use facial masks while breastfeeding, please see the detailed introduction below.

Some taboos during breastfeeding: putting on makeup during breastfeeding. Mothers have a natural affinity for their babies. The smell of their body has a special attraction to their babies, and can stimulate the baby's pleasant "meal" mood during breastfeeding. Even just out of the womb, babies can quickly turn their heads in the direction of their mother's scent to find the nipple. In other words, the mother's scent helps the baby to suck milk. If the mother wears heavy makeup, the unfamiliar smell of the cosmetics will cover up the familiar smell of the mother. The baby will find it difficult to adapt and become depressed, lose appetite and hinder development. The baby is more likely to have an adverse reaction due to an allergy to the cosmetics.

Fruit masks can be used: Banana mask: peel the banana and mash it into a paste, then apply it on your face. Wash it off after 15-20 minutes. Long-term use can make your facial skin delicate and refreshed. It is especially suitable for facial beauty of dry or sensitive skin, with good results. This method can make the skin refreshed and smooth, and remove facial acne and freckles. This method is suitable for all skin types and can be used once a week to soften cuticles and whiten the skin.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of whether it is possible to use a facial mask while breastfeeding. Let me say this again: never use cosmetics on your breasts while breastfeeding. Because the nipple is the part that the baby sucks directly, if it is contaminated by cosmetics or other cleaning products, these pollutants can easily enter the child's body and cause certain harm to the child's health.
