The most common complaint of young mothers: “I don’t even have time to wash my hair!” These are not empty words – baby care leaves no time for yourself. But you want to look good, and in general it is good for health. To begin with, we propose to perform a minimum cosmetic program.
Features of cosmetics for nursing mothers
Where, you ask, take the time for yourself? The main thing is not to panic. After two or three months, the day-night regimen will be established, the colic will pass, you will get used to the new role and new lifestyle, and you will understand how to find time for self-care. But is it possible to use the same care products during breastfeeding as before pregnancy?
The requirements for care products are:
hypoallergenicity,
no fragrance,
compliance with the expiration date.
What care products are useful for a young mother
The skin is a hormone-dependent organ. Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, many women’s skin quality changes. Dryness, peeling, pigmentation may appear. After childbirth, special attention should be paid to these particular problems – and then after 6-9 months the skin condition will return to normal.
In the first months after pregnancy, pay special attention to moisturizing the skin of the body.
What should be in a young mother’s makeup bag? Elena Alekseeva, Biotherm brand expert, recommends paying attention to the following:
moisturizing face cream (contains nutrients, improves the appearance of the skin, fills the skin with moisture).
tonic or lotion (cleanses, tones the skin and improves the ability to perceive subsequent care products).
body cream (its main task is hydration).
hand cream (softens and moisturizes).
