"I have what some folks refer to as the 'mask of pregnancy' -dark splotches on my cheeks, forehead and upper lip. I am really insecure about it! :cry: Does anyone else suffer from this? If so, do you have any tips that you could share on how to minimize it? I swear I've scrubbed my face over 50 times this week!! lol....
unfortunately there isnt much you can do about it. Most of mine have faded now but my breasts are still very dark and patchy/blpotchy.
Just another one of the pregnany joys
make up is my best friend!
:lol: make-up is my best friend too! I only have 3 more weeks to go, so perhaps i should just wait till i have bubs and see if it fades?
I've got a couple of blotches starting on the top of one of my cheeks, but honestly, am not bothered about it! I understand it goes back to normal after baby is born!
My friend had very dark pigment on her top lip and her cheeks. So bad that a little kid asked her why she had a moustache?! But i am pleased to let you know it has all but faded away now. It takes a few months, but does dissapear.
As sunlight makes it worse, wearing sun cream every day might help.
