Changing hormones affect your skin condition
Our skin is sensitive to hormonal changes. When a mother is pregnant, her body will experience many hormonal changes, which all affect the skin condition, not only on the face but also on other parts of the body.
- Estrogen : Higher levels of estrogen during pregnancy can make your skin oilier, making it more likely to break out. It can also make your skin more sensitive to light, making it more likely to develop freckles and melasma.
- Progesterone : This hormone helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy, but high levels of progesterone also stimulate the skin to produce more oil, which can lead to acne.
- Androgens : These hormones increase during pregnancy, which can stimulate the production of oil in the skin, increasing the risk of acne breakouts.
How to care for your skin during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, the mother’s skin is more sensitive to hormonal changes. Proper skin care is therefore very important, especially choosing safe products that do not cause harm to the fetus, such as BREA products from Phyathai Life, facial and body care ยูฟ่าเบท products and sunscreen products developed by health experts from various fields from the Phyathai and Paolo groups. They are gentle on the skin and free from chemicals that may be harmful to the fetus. They help nourish the skin, allowing mothers to be beautiful and healthy with confidence.
Facial skin care to restore radiance
When pregnant, you should stop using certain medications or creams that you used to treat acne, such as products containing vitamin A acid and vitamin A derivatives, whitening products containing Hydroquinone, and products containing BHA, as well as Tetracycline, because these substances can be harmful to the fetus.
For safe acne treatment during pregnancy, mothers can use acne creams that contain Clindamycin, which has acne-killing properties and is safe for the fetus, or Azaleic acid cream to reduce acne. However, to be sure, you should consult a dermatologist before using any product.
