Skin darkening during pregnancy
I am sixth months pregnant. My problem is my facial skin. Previously my face used to be glowing and clear of all the pimples and acne (during first 4 months of pregnancy). But now I can see my face is very dull and darkened too. This effects is amplified due to summers too. I am a working woman. Thus cant avoid sun and dont have hours and hours to take care of my skin. Please suggest me something.
Thank you!

During pregnancy a lot of hormonal changes occur, because of which women experience some skin charges.
Pigmentation which you are facing now could be because of sunlight. No țreatment to improve skin colour will work if you are out in sunlight. Kindly avoid going out In sunlight from 10 AM to 3.30 PM. Cover yourself before going out in sunlight.
Next Steps
Use a sunscreen which suits your skin type.
