Melasma

Melasma is a blotchy brown darkening of the skin on the face. It is called the “mask of pregnancy” because it tends to occur during or after pregnancy. It gets worse with sunlight. The sun is hard to avoid, but a combination of over-the-counter options + daily sun protection can really help.
