I NEVER HAD ECZEMA BEFORE I WAS PREGNANT!

Where does this eczema flare-up come from?

If its name is a little impressive, polymorphic rash of pregnancy, this type of eczema is completely benign: without risk for the mother or her baby, it is nevertheless restrictive and it is necessary to fight against the symptoms to survive the end of pregnancy More comfortable. How to recognize it? What products to use? We tell you more in this article!

POLYMORPH PREGNANCY ERUPTION: HOW TO RECOGNIZE IT?

It generally appears before the third trimester, around the 34th week.

ITCHING :

It all starts with itching which precedes the skin lesions by 1 to 2 weeks. This itching is usually intense and can disturb sleep.

THE ERUPTION:

The lesions traditionally start on the stomach before sometimes spreading to the back, neck, arms or legs. The rash is recognizable because slightly thick pink or red spots called papules appear. The papules, when joining together, can form larger plaques. Other types of skin lesions are possible: vesicles (small blisters without fluid) and pustules (small blisters filled with cloudy fluid).

WHAT PRODUCTS TO USE? :

DERMOCORTICOIDS:

Used in particular when the symptoms are severe, they present no risk for the mother and the future baby. However, they must be prescribed by a doctor. If the application is daily, the treatment generally cannot exceed 3 weeks. Finally, since corticosteroids weaken the skin, their application increases the risk of stretch marks. It is therefore necessary, as far as possible, to avoid using them on areas such as the stomach, thighs or buttocks.

MOISTURIZING AND SOOTHING CREAMS:

Creams and balms intended for atopic-prone skin are also an excellent way to limit itching by soothing the skin.

As always during this period of life, it is essential to be vigilant about the composition of the creams used. Indeed, the ingredients contained in the creams that we apply on a daily basis can have several harmful consequences on the health and proper development of your baby:

Possible endocrine disruptors hinder the functioning of the body at the hormonal level. However, hormone secretion is essential during pregnancy
By entering the body, certain products can expose your baby to potentially toxic substances.

MOISTURIZING GEL PLUS HS: HYDRATES & SOOTHES OVER LONG TIME

YUKA Score 100% Excellent · Made In France

~~Parfum~~

Les parfums sont utilisés pour rendre les produits plus agréables à utiliser. N'ayant pas d'autre utilité que d'être des arguments marketing, ils favorisent les risques de réaction pour les peaux sensibles et prennent la place d'ingrédients qui, eux, pourraient avoir un réel bénéfice pour la peau

~~Paraben~~

Les parabens sont des conservateurs très répandus dans l'industrie des cosmétiques. Faisant partie des perturbateurs endocriniens, ils sont régulièrement pointés du doigt pour représenter un risque pour la santé et pour accélérer le vieillissement de la peau quand elle est exposée au soleil.

~~Silicones~~

Les silicones font partie de la gamme des ingrédients occlusifs, c'est-à-dire qu'ils forment une pélicule à la surface de la peau, l'empochant notamment de respirer. Issu de la pétrochimie, ils participent également à la pollution de la planète.

~~Perturbateurs endocriniens~~

Les perturbateurs endocriniens sont des substances qui altèrent le fonctionnement du système endocrinien, c'est-à-dire la production et l'action des hormones essentielles au métabolisme. L'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) fait depuis plusieurs années des mises en garde sur ces ingrédients, pointant "un risque accru de survenue de problèmes de santé".

~~Alcool~~

Il existe une idée reçue dans les cosmétiques : tous les alcools seraient néfastes pour la peau. Si l'éthanol et l'isopropanol dessèchent la peau, désagrègent son film protecteur et augmentent les risques de réaction cutanée, les alcools gras n'ont eux aucun inconvénient pour la peau et la santé. Nous avons donc retiré les 2 premiers de nos listes d'ingrédients.

~~Huiles essentielles~~

D'origine naturelle, les huiles essentielles sont connues pour représenter un risque important de réaction cutanée pour les peaux sensibles. Elles sont aussi à proscrire absolument lors d'une grossesse.
