Physical sunscreen that pregnant women can use

Generally, pregnant women need to be very careful during pregnancy, because in the first three months of pregnancy, pregnant women are very prone to miscarriage. After the first three months, the fetus is generally stable, but you still need to pay attention. Generally, pregnant women should not eat anything indiscriminately, especially some cold foods, and they should not take other medicines indiscriminately, and they should not take some skin care products. So, what is the difference between pregnant women's sunscreen and physical sunscreen? Can pregnant women use baby sunscreen?

Pregnancy sunscreen physical sunscreen

Generally speaking, sunscreens are divided into chemical sunscreens and physical sunscreens, and chemical sunscreens: to put it simply, are sunscreens with added ingredients that avoid skin damage by converting the generated ultraviolet rays into energy. Its advantages are transparency and lightness, which makes it very popular among young women. But you need to wipe it frequently, because these sunscreens are oxidized while absorbing ultraviolet rays and are easily consumed.

In addition, these chemicals can irritate the skin and may cause photosensitivity reactions. This kind of sunscreen also contains ingredients such as mercury and lead, which not only harm the skin but also are detrimental to the brain development of the fetus.

Physical sunscreen: uses physical principles to protect against the sun. Applying this kind of sunscreen is like installing a mirror on your face. The sun will be reflected naturally when it hits your face. The main ingredients of this type of sunscreen are titanium dioxide and active zinc oxide, both of which are “good assistants” in blocking ultraviolet rays. Moreover, this type of sunscreen will not cause irritation to the skin and is relatively safe. There is no need to worry about skin allergies and it is suitable for pregnant women. Some pregnant mothers may feel that physical sunscreen is relatively thick, like a layer of paint. In fact, technology is relatively advanced now, and some stores have already crushed titanium dioxide and active zinc oxide through nanomaterials to make a transparent and light moisturizing lotion, so pregnant mothers don't have to worry about it.
