Missing Your Pre-Pregnancy Skin Glow? You Can Get It Back!

The joy of being a new parent is accompanied by several hormonal effects on your body, especially your skin. You may have had radiant and clear skin before, but that may not continue during and after pregnancy. Dark patches, stretch marks, dry skin or spots are all common during this phase due to hormonal changes, stress levels, and tiredness.

However, most of these skin changes are harmless and do not always need medical attention but a little bit of care. While you have been doing a fantastic job of giving birth and raising a human, you need to take some time every day to focus on yourself. Before taking any remedial steps, know about the various skin problems you are likely to face.

Skin Problems During Pregnancy

  • Most expectant women are prone to the ‘mask of pregnancy’ due to hormonal havoc. Elevated progesterone and estrogen levels trigger melanocytes, causing dark spots on the skin (known as chloasma or melasma gravidarum).
  • Hyperpigmentation results in darkening of the skin especially in the less-exposed parts such as the groin and armpits.
  • Dark, puffy eyes could be the result of exhaustion as well as poor blood circulation.
  • Red, flaky patches on the face are part of skin issues during pregnancy.
  • Acne is very common because of increased secretions from oil glands, clogged pores, and serum build-up.
  • Post pregnancy, a few women may have a red rash around their mouth and chin or suffer from extremely dry skin.
  • The most prominent among the skin effects are stretch marks. They do not disappear completely but can lessen with persistent care. They just turn less noticeable in coming years.

These problems disappear some time after the delivery but what you need to do is nurture your delicate skin back to its original glow.
