Can I use skin care products during breastfeeding?

Loving beauty is every woman’s nature. Even after getting pregnant, some mothers still use skin care products, or after giving birth, mothers can’t wait to use skin care products. However, when a mother uses skin care products during breastfeeding, is it harmful to the baby? The editor has summarized it today, let’s take a look!

One baby is safe

When using, please be careful. During breastfeeding, if we accidentally put cosmetics on the baby's skin, the baby's skin is so tender that it cannot withstand such strong stimulation. In addition, if you accidentally get it on the breast, it will be bad for the baby. Secondly, in many cases we cannot guarantee whether the cosmetics we use will cause allergies to our baby. It is recommended that you best not use it. If you have to use it, keep it away from your baby and don't let your baby touch it. If you have to use it, you can use some plant-based ones, some of which are safe for babies to use.

When can I use it?

When your baby is older, you don’t need to hold him in your arms all the time. He can play by himself and you can use it because the chance of contact between you is smaller than during the breastfeeding period and the baby’s skin resistance is also enhanced.

3. Things to note when breastfeeding mothers use cosmetics

1. It is not recommended to use nail polish.

2. In summer, the weather is too hot and the baby's skin is tender and prone to allergies, so don't use it.

3. After all, cosmetics contain chemical ingredients, so I personally recommend not using them.

4. From the physiological perspective of the skin, we do not recommend the frequent use of makeup products that are powdery or contain too much pigment.

5. Nowadays, many cosmetics contain lead, which may affect the baby through breast milk. It will not affect the baby if it comes into contact with the baby's skin after weaning.

4. Suggestions

Finally, the editor would like to make a suggestion. In order for our baby to grow up normally and healthily, the editor suggests that we should not use some cosmetics. We can try to use some natural methods to whiten the skin, such as using cucumber as our facial mask at night, using some milk to wash your face in the morning, and other natural ways to do makeup and skin care.
