Can I use a facial mask during confinement? What brand of facial mask is good for breastfeeding?

Applying facial masks has always been a very popular skin care method. Applying facial masks can hydrate and moisturize the skin and improve skin condition. Many mothers who have just given birth also want to apply facial masks to care for their skin.

It is OK to use a facial mask during confinement, but you should be careful when choosing the mask. Because facial masks are also skin care products, and most cosmetics contain lead. If these harmful substances enter the skin and then the body, then the milk will naturally be affected. However, the nutrition during breastfeeding is converted from the mother's blood. If you take care of it correctly, there will be no problem at all.

1. It is best to choose a relatively safe mask

Choose a basic moisturizing mask. As for products with special functions such as repairing, removing acne, whitening, and lightening, it is best not to use them, so as to avoid them containing heavy metals or hormone ingredients that may have adverse effects on the baby's health.

2. Avoid using facial masks during breastfeeding period

It is okay to use facial masks with safe ingredients, but you should be careful not to use them on babies. Firstly, it will scare younger babies. Secondly, if mothers apply the mask on the babies, they will grab the babies’ hands and chew them with their mouths, and the mask cannot be finished.

Although the masks recommended above do not contain any risky ingredients, masks are still chemical skin care products, so it is better to avoid direct contact with your baby. Therefore, remember to wash your face after applying the mask (you can use water or amino acid cleanser) to avoid direct contact with the residual ingredients of chemical skin care products and to prevent excessive essence from clogging your pores.

1. Try to choose facial masks specially designed for pregnant women. Such masks contain fewer harmful ingredients and can still achieve skin care effects, making them safer to use.

2. New mothers should try to use facial mask when the baby is sleeping. This way, when the baby wakes up, the mask will be almost absorbed and there is no need to worry about the baby coming into contact with it.

4. During the confinement period, be sure to heat the mask in hot water before use to avoid postpartum diseases.

5. Postpartum skin is very loose, so starting from 2 weeks after the body recovers, you can use a mild moisturizing lotion and essence to provide nutrition to the rough skin. Only when the skin is replenished with enough moisture can it brighten the skin tone, refine wrinkles, reduce oil secretion, and reduce the occurrence of acne.
