I checked, nothing I use has those ingredients. Phew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-334570 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 01:16:57 +0000 Kemma 334570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some issues with hyper-pigmentation prior to begin pregnant and I'm pretty sure that the dark patches of skin on my face have got worse during pregnancy.</p> <p>On a positive note though my acne has cleared up since I hit 40 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-334067 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:37:08 +0000 JerricaBenton 334067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I was just reading about pregnancy safe sunscreens and I saw something about avoiding any facial products with soy or bergamot oil in it. They can aggravate chloasma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-334064 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:35:34 +0000 ladyfingers 334064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Thanks! I use an SPF moisturizer and avoid the sun like the plague to the point where I need to take Vitamin D supplements lol. I have very pale skin and burn easily and go from burn to peel... so I've got that part covered at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-334012 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:18:22 +0000 hilsy85 334012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've heard that weaing sunscreen regularly and avoiding sun exposure can help. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-334001 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:15:57 +0000 tororojo 334001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah...I drink a lot of water, but I had worked myself up to a Dr. Pepper a day right before I came down with the stone. My doc said they aren't necessarily related, but I'm no longer willing to chance it! That's good though, I needed to quit drinking so much soda anyway and now it requires much less willpower. I hope you don't get any! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-333992 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:12:51 +0000 ladyfingers 333992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: True! I panicked hardcore when my midwife told me that pregnant women are more prone to kidney stones. I was like hell no, I am NOT going through that again! Then again, when I got mine I was drinking Diet Coke and coffee all the time. No water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-333981 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:09:23 +0000 tororojo 333981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I figure I can't be too sad; there's a baby coming, woo hoo! And the kidney stone is gone. And I have lots of drugs I can take if another one shows up. ;) But the drugs don't really work. :( But at least there are epidurals for when the baby comes! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-333956 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 16:01:18 +0000 ladyfingers 333956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-333893 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:37:24 +0000 tororojo 333893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. But I didn't think I would get skin tags either and that happened. Or kidney stones. Waaaaahhhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-else-have-chloasma#post-333847 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:15:13 +0000 ladyfingers 333847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was touching up my makeup this afternoon and found a big honking brown spot near my jaw line! I'm assuming this is chloasma. I'll pretty much die if I get it all over, the untreatable acne is bad enough!</p> <p>Anybody else get the mask of pregnancy? </p>
