Skin Changes During Pregnancy

Pregnancy ke time estrogen aur progesterone hormones kaafi high hote hain, jo skin ke oil, hydration aur pigmentation ko influence karte hain.

Common Skin Issues in Pregnancy

  1. Pregnancy Glow
    Hormones aur blood circulation skin ko naturally radiant bana dete hain. Lekin ye glow har woman ko same level par nahi milta aur temporary hota hai.

  2. Pigmentation & Melasma
    Melanin production increase ho jaata hai, jisse dark spots aur uneven tone aa sakta hai, especially cheeks aur upper lips par.

  3. Acne & Oily Skin
    Oil glands overactive ho jaate hain, jisse pimples aur blackheads develop ho sakte hain.

  4. Dryness & Sensitivity
    Kuch women ki skin tight, dry aur itchy ho jaati hai. Pehle suit karne wale products irritation cause kar sakte hain.
