What to apply to pregnant women's dry mouth

It is autumn now. As the temperature drops, there seems to be a slight dry smell in the air. At this time, the mouth is most likely to be dry, which can seriously affect eating. Normally, everyone will choose to apply some beautiful lip gloss with moisturizing effect, which is beautiful and practical. But for pregnant women, it is obviously not appropriate to apply this at this time. So let’s talk about what pregnant women should apply to their dry mouth?

Many expectant mothers believe that lip balm does not contain pigments and can be used with much less worry. Actually, it is not. The oil in lip balm is mainly lanolin. Although it is a natural animal fat, it has strong adsorption capacity. It can absorb various heavy metal trace elements in the air that are harmful to the human body, and it can also absorb microorganisms such as Escherichia coli that can enter the fetus' body, posing a threat to the health of the fetus through the placenta.

Pregnant women should use lip balm that is "edible". What is "edible" lip balm? Food? What kind of food?

Although some foods and nutrients (such as honey, olive oil, vitamin E, etc.) do have the effect of moisturizing and protecting the lips when applied externally, these natural "lip balms" will be brought into the mouth and eaten into the stomach during activities such as talking and eating. You can't let pregnant women carry honey jars and oil bottles with them and apply them wherever they go. Lip care needs to be done at any time, especially in the dry seasons of autumn and winter.

So what exactly is edible lipstick?

Expert explanation: The so-called "edible" lipstick is just a metaphor, meaning that the safety level meets food-grade standards and the ingredients are food. It is recommended that expectant mothers use natural vitamin E, olive oil or honey to moisturize their lips at home. If you are afraid of dryness when going out in winter, you can wear a mask to keep your lips warm and moist.

The above gives a detailed introduction on what to apply to pregnant women when they have dry mouth. Of course, since everything pregnant women do is related to the baby, special attention is very necessary. The lipsticks we usually use contain some ingredients that will have a certain impact on both pregnant women and babies. Because lipstick will inevitably be in the mouth, vitamin E, olive oil and honey are better choices for expectant mothers.
