Zoom on... the pregnancy mask

You have noticed strange and very localized spots on your face? Don't panic, it is most certainly a pregnancy mask.

• It usually appears during the second part of pregnancy, between the fourth and sixth months.
• It appears as brown or grayish spots and affects the forehead, the cheekbones, and the area around the lips, in particular.
• It is a hyperpigmentation of the skin due to the hormonal variations to which your body is subjected during pregnancy.

But rest assured, the mask of pregnancy is not serious and usually disappears after delivery.
