Skin care during postpartum period

In this video, I discuss Post Partum Skincare and give recommendations on how to manage dry, dull and acne-prone skin.
Dry and dull skin due to pseudo menopause
Estrogen is low and affects collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid which leads to dry skin
Also, have dry skin due to breastfeeding
Skin doesn't shed much when estrogen is low
Acne occurs after pregnancy
Fluctuating hormones can cause increased oil production, leading to clogged pores and thus acne.
Mask of pregnancy. (wait till after breastfeeding to address this. Use sunscreen in the meantime)
Cleanser
Hydrating cleanser for those who are dry
Exfoliating cleanser 2x a week for those with dull skin. Also helps those with acne (SA cleanser)
Moisturizer
Choose hydrating ingredients like HA, Ceramides, and Glycerin in your moisturizer
Sunscreen
It's a Very important step to avoid worsening aging from UV damage. The process of pregnancy already leads to premature aging in the skin so it is important to prevent more signs of aging from happening
Also important to use sunscreen to prevent worsening hyperpigmentation and aging
Look for sunscreen that are mineral-based or have good spf coverage especially sunscreen that prevents UVA damage. Explain the difference between UVA and UVB on black skin.
