How long does it take for pigmentation to recover during pregnancy?

Most pregnant women will develop some pregnancy spots during pregnancy. These pregnancy spots usually appear on the patient's face, which will affect the appearance. In addition, pregnant women generally do not wear makeup or use any skin care products during pregnancy. In this way, there will be some pigmentation on the face, and the complexion will become sallow and look listless. So how long will it take for the pigmentation during pregnancy to recover?

In addition to physiological changes during pregnancy, pregnant women also begin to experience melanin deposition on their skin. In order to get rid of the annoying melanin, let's take a look at some skin care methods for pregnant women. In fact, melanin exists in everyone's body, but most women during pregnancy are affected by the amount of hormone secretion, which increases the activity of melanin, so melanin deposition is more likely to occur on the epidermis. In order to prevent melanin deposition, pregnant women must pay attention to sun protection. Before going out, you may wish to choose sunscreen products with SPF30 to 50 and PA++ to +++. In addition, you should wear a hat, sunglasses and a parasol to make the protection more comprehensive.

Because everyone's physique is different and the pigmentation conditions are different, generally speaking, it is difficult to completely eliminate liver spots during pregnancy, but most people will see improvement after delivery. What expectant mothers can do is to implement sun protection to prevent the sun from further stimulating the deepening of the spots. When going out, you can choose sunscreen products with SPF30 to 50 and PA++ to +++, and add hats, sunglasses, umbrellas, etc. to provide more comprehensive protection. However, doctors recommend that sun protection should not affect your daily life, and you should not make yourself more tense just for the sake of sun protection. In addition, pregnant mothers are advised not to stay up late, live a normal daily life, maintain emotional stability, and avoid fatigue, which can slow down the deterioration of liver spots. In terms of diet, pregnant mothers should try to avoid consuming photosensitive foods such as basil, coriander, and celery to avoid increasing the chance of suntan. They can supplement with more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, such as cherries, kiwis, apples, etc.

When talking about fruits, how can we miss vegetables? Our common tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which can help the human body resist ultraviolet rays and keep the skin white, tender and moist; the carotene in carrots can maintain the normal function of skin cells and keep skin cells young; broccoli is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and carotene, which can enhance the skin's ability to repair. Therefore, pregnant mothers must eat more! In terms of diet, pregnant women must try to avoid eating photosensitive foods such as basil, coriander, celery, etc., so as not to increase the chance of suntan. They can supplement more vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C.

If you don't mind the trouble, you might as well make your own natural skin care products to drive away melanin! For example, choose fresh cucumber, cut it into thin slices and stick it on your face. It has a good effect on tightening pores and whitening skin! Since whitening skin care products generally contain heavy metals such as mercury, this type of skin care products is not suitable for pregnant women, but some basic moisturizing skin care products can still be applied appropriately. Doctors recommend that you avoid using irritating skin care products during pregnancy. Exfoliating products themselves are relatively irritating skin care products and are not recommended for use during pregnancy. Pregnant mothers only need to moisturize and protect themselves from the sun. If mothers are very concerned about the problem of melanin deposition, they can undergo mild local laser blemish removal, but everyone's physical constitution is different, so it must be evaluated by a doctor.

Pregnant mothers look at their dark bodies and always ask: When will it return to its original state? Those who have experienced it will always comfort you and say: It’s okay, your skin will naturally become white after giving birth, so don’t worry at all! Is the truth really that simple? Since the abnormal hormone secretion during pregnancy leads to the aggravation of melanin deposition, as long as the hormone secretion returns to normal, the melanin deposition will improve. If we have to give a recovery time, it is probably 3 to 6 months after delivery. After this period of time, the body gradually returns to normal and the dark spots on the body will gradually fade or even disappear completely.

Eat more foods rich in vitamin E. Modern scientific research has proved that vitamin E is an antioxidant in the human body that can effectively resist the deposition of melanin on the skin and keep the skin white. Cabbage, sesame oil, sesame, rapeseed oil, soybeans, and foods with cereals are rich in vitamin E. Some people say that adequate sleep is the best facial mask. The skin's metabolism is most active at night, the skin's blood vessels are fully open, and blood can fully reach the skin, allowing the skin to repair itself and regenerate. High-quality sleep can give the skin a thorough rest, restore vitality and return to new life.
