Differences in the Use of Cosmetic Products Depending on Pregnancy Status

Abstract

Method: This cross-sectional study which was performed between May 2017 and January 2018 at a family medicine, dermatology, and obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic, evaluated differences in the use of nine cosmetic procedures, and 38 different cosmetic and personal care products depending on pregnancy status. Results: The pregnant group and the non-pregnant comparison group both consisted of 219 women. The two most frequently used products in the pregnant group were toothpaste and shampoo (99.1% and 98.1% respectively). The frequencies of use of all the examined products were lower in pregnant women than in non-pregnant women, except for hair gel, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and vaginal cleansing agents. Compared to a pregnant group, being non-pregnant increases the risk of using ten or more cosmetic products 5.8 times fold. Our findings indicated that pregnant women’s use of products declined, except for general hygiene products. Discussion and conclusion:Knowing which products are used most often and which products pregnant women intend to continue to use can guide physicians in terms of advising pregnant women and investigating product exposure.
