Pregnancy mask: which sunglasses to protect yourself with?

To protect yourself from the pregnancy mask, choose sunglasses with high indices, transparent or, better, tinted. Because pigments protect the skin even better… Great, there are plenty of them this summer!

What is the pregnancy mask?

L’hyperpigmentation, of which the pregnancy mask is part, affects 1 in 3 women from the age of 15.

Phototypes V and VI (mat complexion, black skin), are the most affected, confirms Naïma Midoun, dermatologist in Paris.

How to protect yourself from the pregnancy mask?

La photoprotection and anti-dark spot cosmetic active ingredients are the only preventive and curative solution for pregnant women, who are prohibited from medical treatment.

From the first beautiful days, we protect ourselves daily with an SPF 50 +, a hat and glasses. The rest of the year, we apply an anti-stain formula in the evening and a day cream with SPF 30 in the morning.

If our BB cream or regular foundation has SPF, not worth the protection

of a solar product.

We prefer tinted products solar ranges. If they are also enriched with anti-stain active ingredients (Bioderma Vichy, La Roche-Posay), great!

Non-tinted sunglasses, for a natural look

If you don’t like tinted sunglasses, you opt for a neutral version, but enriched with anti-stain active ingredients. Eucerin, for example, offers a cream based on Thiamidol, an active ingredient capable of reducing the production of melanin, in order to rebalance the pigmentation of the skin. It is very well tolerated by pregnant women.

Tinted sunglasses, for unified skin

We replace our BB cream or foundation every morning with tinted sunglasses. Especially since today, we no longer differentiate in terms of make-up rendering between a normal BB or a sun BB.
