Can I use skin care products and facial masks when I am pregnant?

Pregnant women who love beauty may still want to maintain their bright makeup during pregnancy, but it is recommended that such mothers give up. Some cosmetics may cause certain harm to pregnant women and even the fetus. Some extracts may also cause miscarriage and stimulate the endocrine system of pregnant women. Next, let’s find out whether pregnant women can use facial masks?

Can pregnant women wear facial masks?

Theoretically speaking, pregnant women can use hydrating masks, but when purchasing, they must clearly see the raw materials and ingredients of the hydrating masks to prevent harmful substances from damaging sensitive skin and harming the fetus. During pregnancy, the moisturizing masks used by pregnant women are best to only have the effect of moisturizing. Moisturizing masks with skin whitening function often contain excessive heavy metals and skin corrosive ingredients, which are not conducive to the skin repair of pregnant women. Pregnant women can use hydrating masks 2 to 3 times a week, and combined with basic hydrating and moisturizing skin care products, they can achieve the effect of nourishing the skin. It is not recommended for pregnant women to use any functional moisturizing masks. It is best to use a relatively mild moisturizing mask for pregnant women such as Jingqi, which is more targeted.

You can apply a hydrating mask in the early stages of pregnancy, but it is best to avoid whitening and hydrating masks.

A hydrating mask can quickly and adequately replenish moisture to the skin. For expectant mothers, a gentle and safe hydrating mask is an essential skin care product for summer skin care. After applying it before going to bed, according to the night care and maintenance, it is helpful to maintain the water and oil balance of the skin the next day.

The moisturizing mask can temporarily protect against external gases and environmental pollution, increase skin temperature, expand skin pores, promote sebaceous gland metabolism and basal metabolism, increase the oxygen content of the skin, and help the skin clear out substances from the basal metabolism of epidermal cells and accumulated oil compounds. The moisture in the hydrating mask penetrates into the thin stratum corneum of the skin's outer layer, making the skin softer, brighter and more elastic.

Pregnant women can use a hydrating mask 2 to 3 times a week to achieve the purpose of whitening the skin, but it should be remembered that pregnant women cannot use whitening and hydrating masks. Only basic moisturizing and hydrating masks for pregnant women, such as Jingqi's hydrating mask, are a good choice.
