Pregnancy Mask

Hiya, I got what they call a pregnancy mask with my first, but i wasn't that bad. I am now 31 weeks, and since coming back from my hols, my face is one brown mask!! The only area that isn't affected is around my eyes ( looks like I have been wearing shades). Wouldn't mind if it was all over, as it would look like a great tan, but someone said I looked blotchy the other day, and it upset me that other people are noticing. I know it will gradualy go after I have the baby, but starting to feel paranoid. Have tried covering it with make up, but it looks like I have tried a dodgy fake tan!!
I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas on how to either cover it up, or get rid of it?

I got it quite badly with DS2. Obviously your holiday has made it worse. I can't remember doing anything to try and hide mine, but wore make up every day anyway which would have evened it out somewhat.

Hi i had it really bad in my last pregnancy and have it again in this one.
It faded after pregnancy but always re appeared a bit in good weather.
I've been recommended Dermablend make up which i'm going to give a go.
I have it under my eyes, people mistake for me looking tired (always saying to me 'are you ok, you look very tired'...v annoying lol), and on my chin and on my forehead.
People comment on it daily and it's getting me down because i'm doing my best to cover it with make up.

I've googled Dermablend though and there's quite a few UK sites that sell it for around £13.
I'm going to give it a go as everything i've read about beauty treatments confirms that unless it goes itself i'm unlikely to be able to get rid of it.

Hopefully yours will just fade away again after the baby arrives

I have it around my mouth and chin, the skin is darker and dry there.

I've just been using foundation to even it out, but don't know what to do about the dryness.
