zoe getting darker during pregnancy is normal for colored women, if you had given it some time your normal colour would have returned in a few months, but you should seek medical advice at this time

so sexy

yes I totally agree

I got very dark with my pregnancies too, esp. facially (melasma/cholasma)...also the line on the stomach.

The best thing is to see a dr. Maybe s/he can determine if you've lightened your face to your natural untanned skin shade (have a look at childhood photos) or somehow gone beyond it.

best of luck!

so would it be safe to use a natural skin lightener to maintain a lighter complexion a few times a week while pregnant? Is it possible that the doctor would say it is ok if you bring the products for them to look at? I'm thinking ahead, but want to be safe for both child and me when the time comes.

The same thing happened to me during pregnancy so, I know how you feel.

I wouldn't use anything bleaching during pregnancy. Just sunscreen, hats, shade-seeking & exfoliating lotions maybe. I'd double-check any products w/ my ob-gyn or derm dr.

I really aggravated my melasma w/ too much sun. Even though it's improving, I can still see a faint mask in certain lights.

oh, ok. I guess it's better safe than sorry..
