Skin darker during pregnancy
It’s my first baby and I’m noticing my skin is getting darker (neck, cheeks inner theighs). Im African American, im not freaking out but wondering if my color will return after birth.? Also if any one have suggestions on natural brightening creams or lotions. I was going to invest in GloMelanin

I’m a esthetician you should be fine and it usually returns to normal after birth might take weeks might take months , what your dealing with is called melasma i would recommend using something that includes vitamin C it is a good brightening agent and can help hyper pigmentation but I’d also recommend starting care after birth since your having the issue due to your pregnancy hormones it may not subside while your carrying.
I'm white but I've gotten darker as well in all these areas including where my feet make contact with load bearing. Nit too mention the areolas. I'd say my face and areolas have shown the darkest so far and I'm 28.5 weeks preggy. 🥰 I think besides Melissa it can have something to do with skin uv sensitivity and increased bloodflow
Yes my skin got darker, and my skin dries up quick and I feel like I look like a dried up 😞
