Patient's question:
I heard from a friend that whitening skincare products contain lead. Please ask if pregnant women can use them? Thank youDoctor's answer:
During pregnancy, you can use daily skincare products such as lotions and toners. For whitening products, it's best to avoid them as some may contain high levels of heavy metal ions and other chemical ingredients. You can also choose skincare products specifically designed for pregnant women, which are generally safer. Opting for hydrating and moisturizing products is a good choice. It's advisable to avoid wearing makeup during pregnancy. Regular prenatal check-ups later on can help monitor the baby's growth and development.
