Can I wash my face and take care of my skin while I am in confinement?

If there are older people at home during the confinement period after giving birth, most of them will tell the woman not to do this or that, because in their eyes, many things are very harmful to her body. Everyone has to wash their face every morning and evening, but for women who have just given birth, since there are many taboos during the confinement period, will they consider washing their face and taking care of their skin?

First of all, women can certainly wash their faces during the confinement period. Because washing your face not only affects your personal image, but also has a huge impact on your health. If you do not wash your face for a long time, bacteria will accumulate on your face, which will not only affect your personal health, but may also be transmitted to the newborn through contact with the newborn's face, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, even during the confinement period, you must make sure to wash your face at least once a day.

Secondly, wash your face with hot water. Because women are in a weak and cold state after giving birth. At this time, you must avoid contact with cold water, because cold water is likely to cause uterine contraction, which is not conducive to the discharge of postpartum lochia, and may even affect the endocrine system, causing endocrine disorders and menopause in women. Therefore, when women wash their faces, they must use hot water and must not be careless and use cold water to wash their faces.

Finally, try not to use skin care products after washing your face. Maybe you like to use cosmetics and skin care products now, but try not to use them during the confinement period. Because during the confinement period, not only is the body in a state of qi and blood deficiency, but the skin's resistance is also very poor. Therefore, after washing your face with clean water, try not to use cosmetics or skin care products, otherwise it is likely to irritate the facial skin and cause adverse symptoms such as acne and pimples on the skin surface.

The above is the introduction to "Can you wash your face during confinement?" From the above, we can see that women can wash their faces during the confinement period, but they must use hot water when washing their faces, and do not use skin care products after washing their faces. In fact, whether you are washing your face or feet, or taking a bath or washing clothes, whenever you need water during the confinement period, you should use hot water. Remember not to use cold water, otherwise it is likely to cause uterine cold and endocrine disorders.
