Why do mothers need to take care of their facial skin after giving birth?

After giving birth, mothers will face many risks leading to dark skin, weak skin, acne and irritation. The leading risks that cause the quality of facial skin to decline are sudden hormonal changes, stress, and fatigue due to the process of taking care of children. Therefore, mothers need to have a reasonable way to take care of their facial skin after giving birth to speed up the recovery process for the face and the whole body.

Common facial skin problems in postpartum mothers

Prone to acne

After the difficult and dangerous process of giving birth, the mother will enter the stage of taking care of her baby. In the first 1.5 years, the mother’s life will be unstable because the baby cannot yet be aware of eating and hygiene.

In the process of taking care of the baby, the mother will face a lot of stress and fatigue when having to comfort the baby, breastfeed, bottle-feed, change diapers, diapers, clothes all day and night. In addition, the sudden change in progesterone and estrogen hormones causes the skin to secrete more oil. This causes clogged pores and acne. And if you do not know how to take care of your facial skin after giving birth, this condition will last and cause other skin problems.

Dry and thin skin

During pregnancy, the hormone progesterone is produced and strictly controlled by the placenta to create a suitable environment in the uterus. When the baby is born, the amount of progesterone begins to decrease, causing more estrogen than normal. This imbalance causes the mother’s skin to become drier and thinner. Therefore, women need to learn how to properly care for facial skin for postpartum women to minimize this condition.

Stretch marks, freckles, melasma, dullness appear

Facial skin is dark, freckled, dull due to the overproduction of melanin or skin pigmentation. The causes leading to this phenomenon are extremely diverse such as sunlight, genetics, use of inappropriate cosmetics and especially hormonal imbalance. These facial defects due to the accumulation of melanin easily make women feel down, self-conscious and inferior.

Sagging skin, many wrinkles

Hormonal changes are also the reason why the muscles supporting the facial skin do not function well. In addition, the pores on the face are also larger, the skin texture is loose, giving wrinkles a chance to form. Wrinkles will appear slowly on the corners of the face, the palate and quickly spread to other parts such as the forehead and neck. After a while looking in the mirror, women can clearly recognize the amazing changes on their faces.

From the common facial skin problems in postpartum mothers listed above, it can be seen that the facial skin of postpartum mothers will be greatly affected. Therefore, to quickly restore youthfulness, in addition to taking care of the baby, mothers need to spend a little time to learn how to take care of postpartum facial skin, “touch up” themselves, and prevent aging in time.

Postpartum facial care tips

Postpartum facial care with healthy living habits

Daily living habits greatly affect the skin of women, regardless of whether they have just given birth or are in a normal state. People who maintain a scientific, healthy daily routine always have healthier, rosy, and more beautiful skin than those who do not, no matter how many skin care products they use.

Daily living habits that mothers should follow during postpartum facial care to have beautiful and fast-recovering skin are:

• Drink enough filtered water every day: This is an effective measure to limit the condition of dark circles or large eye bags. In addition, enough water helps the skin to be plump, quickly fades scars, acne scars, and limits dry skin. Drinking plenty of warm water every day also helps mothers produce more milk, minimizing stress due to not having enough milk for the baby.
• Eat enough nutrients: Eat rich in protein to promote the formation of new skin cells. Supplement vitamins, fiber, minerals, and blood-enriching foods to increase collagen levels, helping the skin regain elasticity and fight inflammation and infection.
• Take advantage of sleep when you have time: Sleep to rest your body with the right amount of time. During the first months of taking care of your baby, mothers often wake up in the middle of the night to breastfeed, change diapers, etc., so mothers should try to catch up on sleep during the day or when the baby is sleeping soundly.

Use beneficial cosmetics and pills

The cosmetics that mothers should use every day are facial cleanser, sunscreen and skin recovery cream. Cleansing the face with facial cleanser twice a day, morning and night, is a must.

Facial cleanser will wash away all the dirt, bacteria and excess oil that has accumulated on the mother’s face all day. Cleansing the skin before using cosmetics in the next step is also a way for the product to be effective on the skin.

Sunscreen is especially necessary for weak, dark skin. The cream will create an effective barrier to limit the effects of UV rays. Whether mothers are at home or going out, they should use sunscreen to protect their skin all day.

Skin recovery cream works like a moisturizer, both moisturizing and limiting acne and dermatitis, helping the skin to be healthy over time.
