The summer season is to roam and have fun in the sun, but it also brings certain types of challenges for the skin-especially for those mummies, which are in the state of pregnancy, breastfeeding or after delivery. As a dermatologist, I know that during this period the hormonal changes in the body and changes in lifestyle can affect the skin. So here we are giving some useful suggestions to keep your skin healthy and shiny during the summer season.

Dr. Inderpreet Kaur Mahendra is talking about this in detail. Dr. Idarpreet is a well-known dermatologist in Pune. They are MBBS, DDVL, MD (Dermatology).

Purnace (pregnancy) and lactationInstructions for care of Ran skin

Dr. Inderpreet Kaur says, “There are major hormonal changes at the time of pregnancy, which can be seen in various forms on the skin. Some women have” pregnancy glow “, while others have complications like milesma (brown), sensation and dryness.

In such a situation, take care of your skin in the methods given below:

1 Sunshine prevention is most important: Due to changes in hormones, the skin becomes more sensitive to the sun, causing problems like mulsma (brown spots).

Choose 2 correct sunscreen: Use mineral-base sunscreen, which has zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and SPF 30 or more. They are considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding because they do not contain much in the body.

Apply 3 again and again: Apply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

Avoid 4 strong sunlight: Stay away from the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. Wear wide hats and covered clothes.

Choose 5 beauty cleanser: The skin can be sensitive, so use a light clinker without fragrance.

Avoid 6 rough soap and scrub: They can snatch skin natural moisture and bring redness or dryness.

Take a bath with 7 light warm water: More hot water can make the skin more dry.

Drink 8 water plenty: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the body can quickly dehydrates, which affects the skin.

9 Put good moisturizer: To remove dryness and strengthen the skin barrier, apply a moisturizer with without a fragrance with hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramids.
Use natural body oils: Natural oils like almonds or jojoba oil relieves itching and dry skin, especially when the stomach size is increasing.

When the skin has special problems, then adopt these remedies:

1 melasma:

This problem is often cured on its own after pregnancy, but it is necessary to prevent sunshine daily so that the situation does not worsen. Use gentle actives like vitamin C or Ajelic acid to give a light glow to the skin. But consult your dermatologist before starting any new skin product during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

2 pimples:

Hormonal changes can cause breakouts i.e. pimples. In this case, use light and pregnant-saffy acne products, which contain small amounts of salicylic acid (to apply on spots) or benzoyal peroxide. Oral retinoids and high amounts of acids should be avoided. It would be best to seek your skin doctor’s advice.

3 Stretch Marx:

Although genetic causes are prominent in this, keeping the skin hydrated keeps its elasticity. Using regular moisturizer and body oils can help it.

Must pay attention to the ingredients

It is necessary to avoid some skincare elements during pregnancy and breastfeeding as they can be harmful.

Retinoids (eg Retinol or Retinoic Acid): Avoid them completely because they are considered to be harmful to the fetus.
Hydroquinone: It is a skin lightening agent, but there is not enough evidence of its safe safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so stay away from it or use only in a very limited amount.
Chemical Exfoliates: Avoid high amounts of salicylic acid or other AHA/bha. If needed, resort to light physical exfoliation.
Choose fragrant product: Fragrance products on sensitive skin can cause irritation and itching, so it is better that you prioritize without fragrance.

Useful suggestions for skin care after delivery

The time after delivery is also a round of change for the body. During this time, the body gradually returns to the condition before pregnancy, but hormonal fluctuations remain. The skin problems during pregnancy can continue at this time and new problems can also emerge due to lack of sleep and stress.

Continue 1 beauty care: During this time also use light cleanser and moisturizer regularly, as the skin can still remain sensitive.

2 deal with hyperpigmentation: If spots such as melasma persist even after delivery, you can gradually start effective treatment with the advice of your dermatologist. These may include topical retinoids (after stopping breastfeeding), hydroquinone (cautious and expert advice), ajelic acid and vitamin C serum.

3 Note the repair of the skin surface: Pregnancy and post -delivery stress can weaken the skin barrier of the skin. Use products with ceramids, niacinamide and fatty acids to strengthen it.

4 problems related to hair loss: This is a different subject from skincare, but it is normal to fall for some time after delivery due to hormonal changes. In this case, take a balanced diet and use light hair care products. If the hair is falling excessively or continues for a very long time, consult a dermatologist.

5 Prefer sleep (as much as possible!): This is not easy with a newborn, but enough relaxation is very important for your health and freshness of the skin. Include such a skincare routine in your routine that you can play despite less sleep.

Understand the strength of nutrition: water, omega-3 and nuts effect for healthy skin

What you eat, it directly affects the glow and health of your skin. At a time when the challenges of maternity are part of your routine, it becomes even more important to include the necessary nutrients in the diet. Nutrition-rich elements such as water, omega-3 fatty acids and nuts help in improving the skin from within.

Hydration is necessary from inside:

It is necessary to drink plenty of water to keep the skin flexible and to protect it from dryness.
Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water throughout the day.
Eat rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, strawberry and salary, which help in hydrating the body naturally.

Benefits of omega-3 fatty acids:

The omega-3 has anti-inflammatory properties, which strengthens the surface of the skin and reduce dryness and make the skin soft. Include fatty fish like Salman, McAil and Tuna in your diet-these are the best sources of omega-3.

Include flaxseed seeds, chia seeds and walnuts in vegetarian options. These include an omega-3 called ALA, which the body can turn into EPA and DHA.

The skin gets strength from nuts:

Almond: Rich in vitamin E, which protects the skin from damage from free radicals.
Walnuts: They contain both omega-3 and antioxidants.
Brazil nuts: There are good sources of selenium, which is beneficial for skin health.
