Are there any taboos on cosmetics during breastfeeding?

Mothers have persisted in their ten months of pregnancy, applying makeup every day to comfort themselves and keep the baby safe, thinking that their skin will get better and better after giving birth. As a result, the mothers' skin will become more or less yellow, with spots and acne, and dull and colorless. This makes mothers who pursue beauty feel like they are facing a formidable enemy, and some mothers have to return to work in the company a few months after giving birth due to work reasons, and are forced to put on makeup. On the other hand, I am worried that the close contact with the baby every day during breastfeeding will cause harm to the baby and be detrimental to the baby's health.

So, can I wear makeup while breastfeeding? The editor suggests that it is best not to wear makeup. First of all, cosmetics contain a lot of chemicals, especially lead, which can affect the baby's height. In addition, the fragrance of cosmetics is also very strong, which the baby cannot accept and is not suitable for, resulting in crying and making trouble, and having difficulty falling asleep. Secondly, makeup products are more likely to clog skin pores, making it impossible for the skin to breathe, which is even worse for mothers' skin. Another aspect is the baby's touch, in which the baby will scratch the mother's face and then put the fingers in the mouth to suck. This one is also quite harmful. Natural postpartum skin care products can be used. As long as mothers choose pure plant-based, ethanol-free hormone-free, and breastfeeding mothers-specific skin care products, there is basically no problem. It can not only ensure the baby's physical and mental health, but also improve your own skin. Therefore, wearing makeup during breastfeeding is risky for breastfeeding babies, and it is best not to wear makeup during breastfeeding.

Are there any taboos on skin care products during breastfeeding?

Skin care products containing compounds or irritants should not be used during breastfeeding. Because the skin care products will be absorbed through the pregnant mother's skin and enter the baby's body through breast milk, it is easy to cause harm to the baby.

For pure plant skin care products, in theory, breastfeeding mothers can use them, because the substances contained in these pure plants are also supplementary substances needed by mothers and babies. Of course, these are only theoretical, but now the market is chaotic and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. We have no way of distinguishing what is real and natural and what is fake.

Therefore, in this environment, breastfeeding mothers should tolerate their own skin and temporarily give up themselves for the health of their children. I think every mother can understand this.

Secondly, to maintain the skin you don’t necessarily have to rely on skin care products. Many vegetables and fruits around us have good protective effects on our skin. Common ones are: loofah, lemon, eggs, milk, honey, etc. You can make your own "skin care products" by reading more about vegetable and fruit DIY care methods.
