Hello again

I am quite new on this but Im just about to star DIYing my own HQ and KA lotions to lightening up 3 to 4 shades and then maintain it, I did receive a lot of help from some sct users in this forum

I know that if I rotate HQ and KA lotion to lightening it won't damage my skin but what about if I get pregnant???

How to keep your goal?

Do we need a different regime?

In case the DIY which ingredients to use

And in branded cases which brand are suitable in this situations

Thanks in advance

My skin got extremely dark when pregnant, darker than it ever was before! I wouldn't use HQ during pregnancy. I am planning to go beyond my skin lightening goal before the next time I get pregnant and hopefully I won't get so dark again. Maybe before you get pregnant or are trying, try to get even lighter.

I too am trying to figure something out for the next time, maybe a strong natural lightener mix b/c that super darkness can't happen again. 9 months of hormones and no lighteners - I am worried about completely reversing hard expensive work.

If you skin build it's probably not a big deal, I suppose it depends how stretchmark sensitive a person is. I didn't get stretchmarks until after the baby was born though I wasn't using products. I say it's not a big deal though because the stretchmarks I did get are fading really well after I started lightening after a few months. They might almost disappear altogether at this rate.
