Oral contraception is one of the commonly used contraceptive methods for women of childbearing age, and many unmarried and temporarily not considering childbirth women use this measure to avoid pregnancy.

Among them, reports have shown that oral contraceptives can affect the body's material metabolism and nutrient absorption, and can change the body's demand for vitamins and minerals.

The most obvious manifestation is dry skin, which is prone to aging, especially on the face skin, which is prone to pigmentation and melasma. Some women also gain weight.
