Can I use facial mask during early pregnancy?

Nowadays, there are many women pursuing beauty. In addition to practicing yoga and eating a healthy diet, some pregnant women swim throughout their pregnancy. In fact, these are all new projects that are beneficial to pre-pregnancy health care. For women, moisturizing mask is a very common skin care product, but pregnant mothers should not blindly follow the trend of skin care, but also consider the health of the baby. Let’s discuss in detail whether it is possible to use facial mask in early pregnancy?

1. In theory, pregnant women can use hydrating masks, but when purchasing, you must carefully check the raw materials and ingredients of the hydrating masks to prevent toxic substances from damaging sensitive skin and harming the fetus.

2. During pregnancy, it is best for pregnant women to use hydrating masks that only have the function of hydrating and moisturizing. Hydrating masks that have the function of whitening the skin often contain excessive heavy metals and ingredients that corrode the skin, which is not conducive to the skin repair of pregnant women.

3. Pregnant women can use hydrating masks 2 to 3 times a week, and use basic hydrating and moisturizing skin care products to achieve the effect of nourishing the skin.

4. It is not recommended for pregnant women to use any functional moisturizing masks. It is best to use a milder moisturizing mask specifically for pregnant women, which is more targeted.

Currently, the whitening and moisturizing masks sold on the market contain excessive amounts of heavy metals. Although they can temporarily whiten the skin, they are not conducive to the growth and development of the fetus. In fact, whitening and moisturizing masks for pregnant women can also be made by themselves. There are mainly the following ways for pregnant women to make whitening and moisturizing masks by themselves.

There are many ways to make your own hydrating facial mask, which is not only simple and easy to make, but also does not contain any harmful ingredients, making it safer for pregnant women to use. There are several key points in the process of making your own moisturizing mask for pregnant women.

1. Prepare appropriate amount of mineral water, Vaseline, rice vinegar, milk, loofah, honey, and compressed facial mask paper in advance.

2. Put mineral water and Vaseline in a clean container in a ratio of 1:5, stir evenly, and then pour in a small amount of rice vinegar. A small amount of rice vinegar can moisturize and remove spots, but too much will corrode the skin, so be sure to control the amount of rice vinegar.

3. Cut the loofah into even slices.

4. Mix honey and milk in a ratio of 1:1, stir well, and soak the compressed mask paper in the mixed water solution for more than ten minutes.

5. After soaking, remove it and apply it on your face directly.

6. Applying loofah slices on both eyes can help reduce fine lines and dark circles.

7. The raw materials of homemade moisturizing mask are natural and will not cause any harm to the fetus.
