Item description

Facial pigmentation is a common skin concern among pregnant women. Melasma or chloasma, also known as the "mask of pregnancy," is a type of hyperpigmentation that occurs on the face, particularly on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip. It affects approximately 50-70% of pregnant women and is more common in those with darker skin tones.The exact cause of melasma/chloasma is unknown, but it is believed to be related to hormonal changes during pregnancy, as well as sun exposure and genetics. Women who have a family history of melasma or who have previously experienced it during pregnancy are at a higher risk of developing it again.
