A good way to remove the spots that appear on the face during pregnancy can be done using a homemade mask prepared with tomatoes and yogurt, as these ingredients contain substances that naturally lighten the skin. In addition, you can also spray your face daily with lemon and cucumber juice or a solution of milk and turmeric.
Dark spots on the skin during pregnancy arise due to hormonal changes and may be associated with exposure to the sun without sunscreen. They usually appear after 25 weeks of gestation and can remain for months, even after the baby is born, so it is important to prevent them from becoming even darker.
