Grab a seat, and let’s take you on a fun-filled ride on everything you need to know about skincare routines in relation to pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
Typical Skin Changes During Pregnancy
Let’s be honest; the skin is likely to experience changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding. So, the common statement “pregnancy makes women glow” is not entirely true. Although some lucky women may experience nine months of glowing complexion yet, there is still another percent that may experience at least one new or severe skin problem at some point.
Of course, we normally blame the hormones for these skin changes since a pregnant woman undergoes several hormonal changes. In some cases, the immune system may also be affected.
However, some of the commonest skin issues experienced by pregnant women are dry skin, acne, and skin darkening, which can be caused by melasma or chloasma. Furthermore, people with already existing skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea may see changes in their symptoms. Other changes you may experience include stretch marks, hair growth, spider veins, or hair loss.
Typical Skin Changes During Breastfeeding
Pregnancy, and postpartum significantly affect the skin noticeably. Due to the hormonal changes during this period, the skin may start experiencing spots or blemishes like stretch marks, melasma, or dilated blood vessels.
While dark spots or melasma are normally caused by pregnancy and also will likely disappear within the following month, conditions like postpartum acne and dryness are likely to be caused by hormonal changes that take place during breastfeeding. Reduced estrogen levels can cause this skin dryness during breastfeeding. You may also start noticing more sensitivity, warmth, or dry skin around your breast area. Of course, your breast may feel tender whenever it’s touched.
On the other hand, some persons may experience fungal or bacterial infections around their nipples due to cracked skin or poor latching. However, if you experience any fungal or bacterial symptoms, please don’t hesitate to contact a health professional Skincare Ingredients To Avoid During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Some skincare ingredients are not advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
