The specific needs of the face during pregnant pregnancy
Moisturize , because pregnancy is a period conducive to dry skin . The skin naturally loses water every day, particularly through sweating. This is called insensible water loss (IWL). When pregnant, this water loss accelerates. The responsibles ? Hormones , always them, and in particular estrogens which are the cause of skin dehydration . This is a good reason for, on the one hand, drinking enough (at least 1.5L of water per day) to hydrate well from the inside, but also to opt for very nourishing treatments on a daily basis, which will plump up the face and restore supple, healthy skin.
Protect , because still under the action of hormones, your skin becomes more sensitive to the sun and its UVA-UVB rays. During pregnancy, increased estrogen production stimulates the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color and tanning...Result? After exposure (even brief) to the sun, pigmented spots may appear locally on the face, neck, décolleté and shoulders. Varying in size, these brown spots constitute the mask of pregnancy (also called melasma and chloasma in the jargon) and this hyperpigmentation is often considered unsightly by future mothers.
The simplest thing is to take all precautions to protect yourself from it, because no woman is really immune. All phototypes can be affected, and your lifestyle is not a decisive factor either: a pregnant woman working in the city can see her face become dotted with pigmented spots, just like someone who lives by the sea. Furthermore, the pregnancy mask may take a few months to disappear after the birth, and for some unlucky people, it will not fade on its own...
Protecting the face with maximum protection sunscreen (SPF50+) is therefore a new reflex to adopt from the start of pregnancy to keep this hyperpigmentation away and maintain a unified and radiant face.
