Why Mums Encounter Facial Skin Problems During Pregnancy

Active steps need to be taken to care for your appearance when you’re pregnant! Stressing out over it won’t help you or your baby. Most pregnant mums eventually reach a stage where we wake up in the morning and our facial skin just looks terrible. (If you’re still getting a pregnancy glow, congratulations you’re one of the lucky ones!) On some bad days, you might even think that it’s too difficult to take care of your facial skin during pregnancy.

Do try to avoid having that mindset! While facial skin problems affect almost everyone, taking good care of your facial skin will help you relax and feel more confident about your pregnancy.

Read on to find out more about why most pregnant women encounter facial skin problems, and learn about a great solution that we have for you.

1. Hormonal changes are affecting your facial skin

Pregnancy is a period when loads of hormonal changes occur. These hormones don’t just limit their effect to morning sickness or bad breath, unfortunately. They can affect your skin too!

Hormones can modify your skin pigmentation. It’s actually so common that between 60% – 90% of mums experience some change in the colour of their skin!

Try not to panic or worry about it. Hormone changes are normal, and this is just part of a mother’s journey 🙂

2. It could be melasma

Melasma – also known as pregnancy mask – is a pigmentation condition which causes discoloured patches of skin to appear on your face. You’ll normally encounter melasma around your nose, forehead and cheeks.

Unfortunately, doctors don’t seem to know the exact cause of melasma during pregnancy. However, most sources point to hormones, sun exposure and using unsafe skincare products as the root cause of melasma.

You can’t dodge hormones, but you can change your habits! Firstly, make sure that you use skincare products that are safe for your sensitive skin. Secondly, you’ll want to avoid intense sun exposure. When you’re going outdoors, apply a light mineral sunscreen to protect your face.

3. Your facial skin isn’t getting enough love and care

Pregnancy is really tiring, and most of us forget to care about our facial skin at some point. If you’re currently in the first trimester, you might even avoid using skincare products because the scent might be too much to handle.

While pregnancy takes a toll on your energy, too much neglect can leave your skin dull. That’s why it’s important to give it some tender loving care from time to time!

Don’t let facial skin problems ruin your mood. Try to adopt a positive attitude! Your pregnancy should be filled with warmth and happy memories.
