Chloasma embarrassment!
s
Posted 07-09-15
i have always had chloasma with pregnancy, but this is my first dead summer pregnancy, and apparently sunlight is a huge trigger. Didn't know that until AFTER I went to the beach for a whole week and now it looks awful!! I have it on the very common, but very embarrassing upper lip, and also below the eyes, and even my 5 year old said "mom! You grew a mustache!" I know some of you ladies are makeup experts, and I RARELY wear any. Help me please!!! (This photo I am wearing a concealer/tone evener)

Posted 07-09-15Maybe try a lighter concealer? Sorry you are embarrassed over it. I kind of don't care at this point.. Mine is on forehead, above eyebrows and sides of my face, and then what looks like a bib around my neck. Good times! Even with makeup, you can see it.- sSammisue82 Original PosterPosted 07-09-15I want to be over it... But I am just so self conscious about it. My giant belly... Nope. Huge arms and bootie... Nope. But the pseudo-Stache... Yep!!

Posted 07-09-15Order arbonne skin tanner. Apply it everywhere BUT your darkest skin areas. It will take a few applications (2-3 days) to start showing a good color. Then find a concealer that matches your new color to sort of blend the area! I would probably use a sheen blush just to pull the attention away from the areas your most worried about.- Posted 07-09-15By the way, you are simply gorgeous..

Posted 07-09-15A good liquid foundation might be enough to cover it. I use clinique even better foundation, its made to help even skin tone and lighten dark spots.
I had chloasma pretty bad last pregnancy, under my eyes and around my mouth. This pregnancy it just looks like i used brown lip liner in a hurry and so far thats the only place. My DH told me i had chocolate on my face the other day, i was like "Nooooo, its just my face these days". Hes like"no its just a little smear of chocolate". I told him for the sake of argument just try to wipe it off. He was amazed that it didnt come off. I dont know how he made it this long without noticing.
