Sensitive Skin during Pregnancy

My skin got sensitive during pregnancy and I also have dark spots on my face and hyperpigmentation in different areas of my body. Did anyone have the same problem? How did you treat it?

Skin sensitivity and hyperpigmentation are common during pregnancy. I also had it. My doctor told me it’s due to pregnancy hormones. It worsened if I stayed in the sun for too long so I was advised by my doctor to avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF.

I had very dry skin during pregnancy, it was also because I didn't take extra care. Then later I applied pregnancy-safe moisturizers after consulting with my dermatologist who said that having sensitive skin during pregnancy is normal. But you have to take care of your skin during pregnancy, do everything gently and consult with your dermatologist before applying any products.
