The pregnancy mask is a
hyperpigmentation of the facial skin: brown patches of varying shades appear above the upper lip, around the eyes, on the forehead and on the cheekbones.
The melasma is not harmful to your health; it is a cosmetic problem that affects around 15% of pregnant women.
The cause: the hormonal upheaval and the rise in oestrogen between months 4 and 6 of pregnancy, which stimulates melanin production
The main trigger of the pregnancy mask is the sun! That is why you should use sun cream every day with SPF20, even if the sunshine does not seem strong and you are staying in town.
In the height of summer, on the ski slopes, at the seaside: opt for a sun protection factor of 50, and do not forget to wear a hat and sunglasses.
To reduce dark spots and even out your complexion: use our Retinol H10 & Liposiliol serum every day. Apply about 5-7 drops in the morning and/or evening, using the pipette, onto clean skin: face and neckline. Massage in gently and leave to absorb. Please note that no treatment for melasma can be started during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so you will need to wait a few months before tackling the problem… If the mask persists, you can consult a dermatologist to consider in-clinic peels.
