Accepted Answer

Hello....This is common with most mommies post delivery but not to worry you will regain the glow after few months....
Wash away excess oil to prevent acne on your face. Cleanse your face twice a day with a mild cleanser, which wash away dirt, oil and other harmful chemicals that could lead to breakouts on your skin.

Get plenty of sleep, and make sure you do hit the bed whenever you're little one is sleeping. Proper sleep will give you a healthier skin. If you have dry skin, use a water-based moisturiser after washing your face.

Drink at least eight glasses of water a day. This will help you support the liver and also in monitoring and stabilising your hormones.

Making a few changes in your diet is a good step. Just because you are not pregnant anymore doesn't mean you'll increase you intake of junk food. Eat dark green, leafy vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, spinach, beetroot, and carrots. These types of veggies are rich in vitamins and full of anti-oxidants, which will keep your skin healthy.

The best way to remain fit and get a glowing skin is to start doing yoga. One of the simplest and easiest ways to get your glow back is to breathe properly. Try yoga poses like Pranayam, Anulom Vilom and others. It will help increase the blood circulation.

Being happy and keeping away from all the negativity around you is equally important because being happy shows how you feel from the inside and you can live a tension-free life.

Stop gorging on all that sugary stuff, you've had enough of pregnancy craving and it's time to keep a tab on your diet.

Eat clean, although you can enjoy cheat days but make sure that you are not taking extra calories than you need for a healthy body and mind.

A healthy and delicious way to get your glow back is by drinking detox water. Ajwain or carom seeds water is often suggested to women who've just had a baby as it helps in cleaning out toxins from the uterus and it also aids in digestion

Answer

my whole body has become a shade darker after delivery please suggest anything m really worried

Answer

During pregnancy high progesterone levels can cause skin to become excessively oily, thus resulting in acne breakouts. Post pregnancy, due to changes in hormone levels, you may break out in acne, even if your skin was clear throughout your pregnancy.

2. Pigmentation:

Pigmentation or melasma is the dark patch or spots on your skin. These are caused due to high levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy. Dark patches on your body or the line that runs below your belly will fade away on its own post-delivery.

3. Dark Circles And Puffy Eyes:

These are caused due to changes in hormone levels and the lack of sleep after a having a baby. Your eyes tend to show the tiredness your body experiences in the form of puffed up eyes or dark circles.

4. Stretch Marks:

Stretch marks tend to be one of the most stubborn ones to get rid of. As the name goes, it is caused due to the stretching of the skin. Due to the sudden contraction of the skin post birth, the skin develops small tears, causing it to get cringed in certain areas. These are usually found in the breast, stomach, buttocks, thighs, and behind the knee areas.
