Women who love beauty like to wear makeup because it makes them look younger, more beautiful, and radiant. The desire to be beautiful is universal, and wearing makeup is not inherently prohibited. However, when you are pregnant, you need to be cautious about certain harmful chemical ingredients in cosmetics. Which cosmetics should pregnant women avoid?
1. Hair dye should not be used during pregnancy: According to research by foreign medical experts, hair dye not only causes skin cancer but also increases the risk of breast cancer, leading to fetal deformities. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid using hair dye.
2. Cold perm should not be used during pregnancy: According to years of research by French medical experts, women's hair becomes very fragile and prone to shedding during pregnancy. If chemical cold perm is used on the hair, it will further exacerbate hair loss. In addition, chemical cold perm can also affect the normal growth and development of the fetus in pregnant women's bodies, and some women may have allergic reactions to it. Therefore, pregnant women should not use chemical cold perm.
3. Lipstick should not be used during pregnancy: Lipsticks are composed of various ingredients such as oils, waxes, pigments, and fragrances. Lanolin is commonly used as an oil, and besides adsorbing various harmful heavy metal trace elements in the air, it may also adsorb Escherichia coli and enter the fetus's body. Moreover, it has certain permeability. After pregnant women apply lipstick, harmful substances in the air are easily adsorbed on the lips and enter the body with saliva, causing harm to the fetus in the pregnant woman's womb. Therefore, pregnant women are advised not to wear lipstick, especially for long periods of time.
