Does skin care products used by breastfeeding mothers have any effect on the baby? Can skin care products be used during breastfeeding?

Everyone loves beauty. Many mothers sacrifice a lot for their babies during pregnancy, such as growing long hair and giving up manicures. Today, let's talk about whether breastfeeding mothers can use skin care products normally. Here is a detailed introduction.

Does using skin care products during breastfeeding have any effect on the baby?

Unqualified skin care products are harmful to babies

Whether using skin care products during breastfeeding will have an impact on the baby depends on what skin care products are used. If the skin care products contain illegal preservatives and fragrances, or have a high safety risk, then new mothers using such skin care products will definitely be harmful to the baby.

Safe skin care products have no effect on babies

If the ingredients of bad skin care products are inhaled by babies, it is likely to affect their growth and health and cause systemic allergies. Therefore, pregnant mothers need to look carefully at the ingredients of skin care products when purchasing them, and should try to choose mild, pure and natural skin care products, which are safer.

Pure plant skin care products can be used

In theory, breastfeeding mothers can use pure plant skin care products, because the substances contained in these pure plants are also supplementary substances needed by mothers and babies. Of course, these are only theoretical, but now the market is chaotic and fake things happen frequently, so it is difficult for us to distinguish which ones are truly natural and which ones are fake.

Skin care product ingredients that should not be used

Vitamin A and its derivatives such as A acid, A alcohol, etc. This may not be very intuitive, so let me tell you about the skin care products containing vitamin A:

Skin care products containing salicylic acid (BHA) all contain vitamin A alcohol. Salicylic acid has an exfoliating effect, especially for acne-prone skin, it has a good effect in unclogging pores. However, it is still quite harmful to children. When you buy skin care products, pay attention to the ingredient combination. If this is there, it will be easy to see.

Artificial fragrances and chemical additives. During breastfeeding, mothers’ skin becomes very sensitive due to changes in progesterone and their own endocrine system. Artificial fragrances can easily cause allergic reactions, and chemical additives can easily enter the mother’s blood, thus affecting the baby. Try to choose some pure plant-based skin care products, such as Mamamei’s breastfeeding skin care products, which are Korean formulas and extracted from pure natural plant ingredients. They have the effects of detoxification, hydration, and whitening, allowing your skin to return to a fair and hydrated state.

There are also some essential oil ingredients that are not recommended for breastfeeding mothers. Some mothers have such a misunderstanding that essential oils are also extracted from plant ingredients and are safer. In fact, essential oils are the same as Chinese herbal medicines. Each essential oil has its own unique effect. If used incorrectly, it will affect the baby, which should be avoided. It is best to use compound essential oils or base oils. The base oils that mothers can use include sweet almond oil, olive oil, etc., which are mainly for body care. Single essential oils or even aromatherapy should not be used.

Makeup should also be avoided as much as possible. Breastfeeding mothers are advised to just take good care of their skin and sun protection, and avoid makeup, especially nail polish. If you need to wear makeup for some important occasions, try to choose organic makeup products.

If the mother is too lazy to research skin care products and cosmetic ingredients, then the easiest way is to choose special skin care products. This is the safest and most effective for breastfeeding mothers, and it is also the most worry-free and labor-saving. Just like MamaMed's breastfeeding skin care products, they are specially designed for the skin characteristics of breastfeeding mothers. The formula is safe and effective, and you can use it with confidence.
