Spot Removing Cream
Mercury is a harmful heavy metal to human health. The whitening and spot removing effects of these products are temporary. Once you stop using the cosmetics, the spots will reappear and cause damage to the skin. Long-term use of cosmetics containing mercury can also have serious harmful effects on the human nervous, digestive, and urinary systems.
Experts remind that during pregnancy, due to changes in hormones and endocrine system, the pigmentation of spots on the face may deepen or new spots may appear. Therefore, it is recommended that women avoid using spot removing products during this period. It is not too late to use them after giving birth when hormone secretion returns to normal.
Hair Dye
According to investigations by foreign medical experts, hair dye not only causes skin cancer, but also can lead to breast cancer and fetal deformity.
Experts warn that there was a female worker who had multiple habitual miscarriages while working in a hair salon. The cause was found to be hair dye. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid using hair dye for the health of their babies.
Perfume
Artificial musk, as a substitute for natural musk, is widely used in cosmetics and perfume, but it has side effects such as disrupting the endocrine system. A research group composed of researchers from several universities in Japan announced that they have detected the residue of artificial musk in breast milk and adipose tissue for the first time.
Experts remind that fetuses and infants are susceptible to the influence of chemicals, which can cause various diseases. Pregnant women and women who breastfeed should be cautious in using perfume products.
Perm Lotion
According to years of research by French medical experts, after pregnancy, women not only have very fragile hair, but also are prone to hair loss. If chemical perm lotion is used to perm the hair, it will further aggravate hair loss.
Experts warn that chemical perm lotion can also affect the normal growth and development of the fetus in the pregnant woman's body, and a small number of women may have allergic reactions to it. Therefore, pregnant women should also avoid using chemical perm lotion.
Lipstick
Lipstick is composed of various ingredients such as oils, waxes, pigments, and fragrances. Among them, lanolin is usually used as the oil, which not only absorbs trace elements of harmful heavy metals in the air, but also may absorb E. coli into the fetus's body. It also has a certain degree of permeability.
Experts remind that after pregnant women apply lipstick, harmful substances in the air are easily absorbed on the lips and enter the body with saliva, causing harm to the fetus in the pregnant woman's abdomen. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women not to apply lipstick, especially for long periods of time.
