FAQ: Chloasma - What is It?
Some parts of the skin become hyperpigmented during pregnancy. Chloasma is defined as dark splotchy areas of the face caused by overstimulated pigment cells, pregnancy hormones, and sunlight. Chloasma is very common and the dark brown splotchy areas on the face actually occur in 70 percent of pregnant women. Chloasma can show up with any skin type, but olive and darker complexions are especially at risk. Typically Chloasma fades after delivery
Chloasma is completely preventable by daily use of a broad-spectrum facial sunblock. However, when trying to prevent chloasma, you should be absolutely certain that any sunscreen or SPF you apply is proven to be safe to use during pregnancy. For example, many sunscreens or after-sun products use Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera (from the aloe vera plant) is not regarded as a safe ingredient to use during pregnancy because it is linked to increased frequency of embryonic death and birth defects.
Expecting moms should make sure that any topical skincare product they use – from sunscreen to moisturizers – is safe to use during pregnancy. Belli skincare, the #1 OB-GYN Recommended skincare brand offers breakthrough formulations to safely address chloasma and dark splotches on face caused by hormones.
Belli offers the Anti-Chloasma Facial Sunscreen SPF 25, a combination sunscreen and facial hydrator that leaves you feeling comfortable and protected throughout the day. Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide guard against UVA rays, UVB rays, and chloasma. The natural humectant Glycerine retains moisture in the intercellular matrix, and makes the skin more resistant to drying.
This product is lightly tinted to blend in with all skin types. It is oil free, and may be worn alone or underneath makeup. To use, smooth onto skin several times daily to protect from sun's rays. Apply liberally before sun exposure and as needed.
