Bharti Singh Discusses Postpartum Pigmentation and Remedies
After having a baby, some women notice dark patches on their skin.
This is often because of hormones that change during pregnancy.
Sunlight, skin issues, not getting enough vitamins, and stress can make it worse.
While some people suggest using rose water, lemon juice, and glycerin, it's important to be careful since lemon can irritate skin.
It is best to use sunscreen, gentle skin products, and eat healthy foods.
If you are experiencing these changes it is best to be patient since improvement can take time.
Bharti Singh discussed her experience with facial pigmentation after giving birth in 2022.
Dr. Karuna Malhotra explains melasma, triggered by hormones during pregnancy, is a common cause of pigmentation.
Contributing factors include sun exposure, skin irritation, nutritional deficiencies, and stress.
Home remedies like rose water, lemon juice, and glycerin may help, but with caution due to skin sensitivity.
Safe alternatives include sunscreen, vitamin C serums, gentle exfoliation, and a nutrient-rich diet.
