YOUR
SKIN
IN PREGNANCY
While many women glow during
pregnancy, other women may not be so
lucky and suffer instead from pigmentation,
patchiness and break-outs.
HEALTH
gets
set to find out how to deal with this…
Overview
Many changes in our skin during pregnancy are
triggered by an upsurge in female sex hormone levels;
estrogen and progesterone. Some women’s skin will
suddenly become dry or oily and even more common
skin reactions are acne breakouts and skin rashes
while some women can also develop pigmentation.
