Can I use facial cleanser to clean my face after giving birth?

Many mothers experience worse skin condition during the confinement period. In addition to the fact that mothers often have to get up late at night to breastfeed, and lack of rest causes worse skin, another important reason is not washing the face properly. Many mothers simply wash their faces with cold water during the confinement period, which cannot completely clean the skin. Some mothers came to me and asked if they should cleanse their faces during confinement. How should they wash their faces properly? The following is the proper way to cleanse faces during confinement as summarized by the master:

1. Can I clean my face during confinement?

The traditional confinement period believes that you cannot wash your face. The master thinks that this claim has no scientific basis. Not washing your face is not only unhygienic, but also affects the health of your skin.

Some new mothers have already had blemishes on their faces during pregnancy. If they do not pay attention to cleaning and maintenance after giving birth, the blemishes on their faces will become more serious and more obvious. In more serious cases, it will spread from both sides of the nose to the entire face. This is unacceptable for modern new mothers who pursue beauty. Therefore, after giving birth, you should not only clean your face well, but also do necessary skin care.

2. How to wash your face better during confinement?

1. Wash your face with warm water

Some new mothers wash their faces with cold water during the confinement period, but the palace master recommends avoiding contact with cold water as much as possible during the confinement period. Mothers with oily or dry skin are best to cleanse their faces with warm water. Because for mothers with oily skin, warm water can dilate the capillaries of the skin, open the pores of the skin, promote the excretion of oils, and help clean the skin. For people with dry skin, warm water can avoid the irritation of cold or heat to the skin.

Cold water cleansing is also beneficial, as it can restore skin tone and refine skin. Cold water cleansing can also prevent body fat accumulation and muscle weakness from causing sagging facial skin, because cold water has a certain massage effect on skin and muscles. Mothers who are in confinement should try to avoid washing their faces with cold water, and can wait until after the confinement period to touch cold water.

2. Use a gentle cleanser

Cleansing is the most basic procedure to keep smooth skin. If you only wash your face with water, it will not be able to clean the fragile sebaceous glands in the skin and the oil secreted in the pores, which will make the skin lose its transparency. Therefore, you must use a mild cleanser when cleansing your face. The cleanser used during pregnancy can be used again during the confinement period.

Cleansing method: first wet the skin of the face with warm water, then add an appropriate amount of facial cleanser on the palm of your hand, rub out foam with warm water and then clean your face, finally rinse with warm water and wipe.
