FAQ: Mask Of Pregnancy Removal
Before you begin researching mask of pregnancy removal options, you should know that mask of pregnancy (or chloasma) will fade in most women after delivery. It typically only persists in less than a third of cases. Your dermatologist can recommend several topical treatments for mask of pregnancy removal after you've delivered and are no longer nursing such as hydroquinone, tretinoids, and chemical peels, but prevention with daily sunscreen use is still your best bet.
The pregnancy hormones estrogen and progesterone are thought to make the pigment-producing skin cells (the melanocytes) react more strongly to sunlight. This causes dark brown splotchy areas on the chin, cheeks, nose and forehead known as chloasma, melasma or "the mask of pregnancy".
Mask of pregnancy removal or treatment is most effective through sun avoidance and daily use of a facial sunscreen SPF 25 or higher. Remember to wear sunscreen even on cloudy days and indoors, because UV rays can penetrate both. Reapply sunscreen frequently. If you're planning to be outside in the sun for a long time, you may want to also wear a wide-brimmed hat.
When choosing a sunscreen to protect your skin from the mask of pregnancy, the ingredients titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are preferred. They have higher SPF, need to be applied less often, and have no links to birth defects in medical research studies.
Both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are featured in Belli’s Anti-Chloasma Facial Sunscreen SPF 25 -- a lightweight, oil-free, tinted sunscreen that blends naturally into skin, and can be worn underneath makeup.
Anti-Chloasma Facial Sunscreen SPF 25 is 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 the dark brown splotchy areas on the face that occur from mask of pregnancy. 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.
