How to reduce pigmentation on face after pregnancy?

Question

Delivered 3 months back and my cheeks and upper lip area have gone so dark yaar. It was there in pregnancy too but i thought it will fade on its own, ab bhi waisa hi hai. Did anything actually work for you all to lighten it?

I have PCOS so my hormones were already messed up, making the pigmentation worse. Honestly, don't rush into strong creams, just use a safe sunscreen and let your hormones settle.

Honestly, don't waste time on kitchen remedies. Just use a good physical sunscreen every single day and consult a dermatologist if it bothers you too much.

Humare yahan toh dahi aur chandan lagate hain face pe. It is very soothing and safe, bas thoda time lagta hai clear hone mein.

I just delivered last month and my cheeks are still quite dark. I am just using a mild moisturizer and sunscreen for now, letting my body recover first.

Actually, with all that heavy morning sickness, skincare was the last thing on my mind. Just rest for now, your skin will slowly get better once your hormones balance out.

Same here, my face had so many dark patches back then! But my kid is a toddler now and my skin is back to normal, so just have some patience.

My MIL suggested applying thoda raw milk and haldi on the face. It takes time but definitely helps lighten those dark patches slowly.

Since my husband is a doctor, I got good advice early on. Melasma is totally hormonal, so just focus on sun protection and it will fade post-delivery.
