My MIL keeps saying skin changes during pregnancy, some get fairer some get duller. Im 4 months now and honestly cant tell if mine is changing or im imagining. Did u notice any difference in ur complexion?
Skin color can definitely change or get darker in some areas, which is very normal. I used a simple homemade besan and curd pack to keep my skin soft and fresh. If you develop any painful skin rashes or severe itching, do check with your doctor immediately.
Yes, skin darkening or glow is very common due to intense hormonal shifts. Having gone through IVF, my skin changed a lot with all the hormone shots, but I learned to love the changes. Please be gentle with yourself, you are beautiful.
During my skin care consultation at the hospital, the dermatologist told me that hyperpigmentation and the "pregnancy glow" are both completely hormonal. They suggested safe, pregnancy-approved sunscreens. Always ask your hospital's dermat before trying new creams.
I am in my second trimester and noticed my skin looking a bit dull and dark around my armpits and neck. It makes me a little self-conscious sometimes. Is this normal or is it happening only to me?
Mine actually got a bit darker around my neck and face, and I'm still trying to get used to it! I am in my 7th month now and hoping it goes away after birth. Did any of you experience this and get your original complexion back?
My skin complexion definitely became darker, especially around my collarbone and face. I didn't use any chemical whitening creams to be safe, and it slowly faded after delivery. Just let your body do its thing naturally.
