What to do if pregnant women have dry and peeling skin

Generally, cosmetics are not used after pregnancy. Of course, some women will still buy skin care products for pregnant women. Pregnant women who do not use skin care products will find that their skin is dry. In severe cases, peeling will occur, causing very bad skin. So what should pregnant women do if their skin is dry and peeling? At this time, pregnant women should use skin care products correctly, pay attention to some daily skin care techniques, and of course they can also regulate their skin with diet. Here we will explain to you the relevant skin care knowledge.

1. The skin is very sensitive during pregnancy, so you should use mild, non-irritating cleansers (facial cleanser or soap) every time you wash your face. 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, and apply a mild moisturizer evenly on your face. This will help maintain skin moisture and promote blood circulation in the skin.

3. 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.

4. Maintain a certain indoor temperature. It is best to have an air humidifier or place a basin of water in the room.

5. 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.

6. Pregnant women with dry skin should not wash their faces frequently, because soap alkali will wash away the natural oils on the skin. It is best to use a facial cleanser specially for pregnant women. You need to use skin care products for pregnant women that can add moisture to the skin, apply them to dry areas and massage gently. Moisturizing products specially for pregnant women are pure and gentle. Their special moisturizing formula can effectively prevent skin dryness and maintain acid-base balance. They are safe and effective, and are more suitable for use at this time.

7. You should not soak for too long when bathing, otherwise it will easily cause skin dehydration. You can add some bath oil to the water and use ordinary soap as little as possible. You can use a special shower gel that does not contain soap and has a neutral pH value. After bathing, you should apply body lotion or olive oil for pregnant women all over your body.

Pruritus is a common skin disease in autumn and winter. When the weather turns cooler, the secretion of the human body's sebaceous glands begins to decrease, the skin becomes dry easily, and causes itching. Coupled with some external stimuli, such as laundry detergent, it can easily cause itching. If the patient scratches when it itches, it can cause secondary dermatitis. The sebaceous gland secretion function of the elderly is reduced and the skin is drier, so this disease is more common in the elderly. Patients are advised to pay attention to their diet. Try not to eat foods such as fish, shrimp, alcohol, and chili peppers to avoid aggravating the condition. When the skin is itchy, avoid scratching or scalding it with boiling water. You can apply some ointment or take anti-allergic drugs, or you can take vitamin C or E.

What should pregnant women do if their skin is dry and peeling? Dry skin can appear on the face or on the body. Pregnant women should not use skin care products at will, especially in winter when the climate is dry and the skin changes very quickly. Pregnant women can use moisturizing skin care products on their face appropriately. If the skin on the body is dry, pay attention to the water temperature, bath products, etc. when taking a bath. Care from multiple aspects can improve the dryness of the skin.
