During pregnancy, you should not leave your breasts without care cosmetics to prevent the appearance of stretch marks.
These are the principles that cosmetologists and dermatologists advise to follow.
1. Use a firming product
It can be a cream or oil, it is important that the product not only moisturizes the skin, but also improves its tone.
2. Use one remedy throughout pregnancy
When you are expecting a baby, this is not the time to experiment. Choose one good quality product that you will use before birth and then during feeding.
It is important that the selected product is hypoallergenic, and it is also better to choose options for sensitive skin.3. Choose an acid-free care product
For a child, the acids in the breast cream will not be harmful, but due to the changed hormonal background, the body's reaction can be unpredictable. The likelihood of irritation and increased sensitivity is high.
4. Don't use retinol cosmetics
Retinol (vitamin A) and its derivatives can interfere with the normal development of the fetus, therefore it is important to read carefully the composition of the cream and, if possible, show it to the gynecologist or cosmetologist to make sure that you can enjoy.
5. Take an odorless product
Even if at the beginning of pregnancy you did not have toxicosis, the perception of smells has certainly changed a lot. This means that after a couple of days you will be nauseated by the smell of the cream with fragrances - and you will quickly give up on it. All cosmetics during pregnancy should be either odorless at all, or with a barely audible natural aroma.It is also better not to use products that contain natural essential oils. In addition to their strong odor, they also give an allergic reaction to the skin.
