Pregnancy was one of the highlights of my life. The massive weight gain, the night sweats, the urge to eat a turkey sandwich and Doritos at 9am, the odd discolorations on various parts of my body, etc. Okay, like most women, I experienced some not so great moments during my pregnancy. Thankfully, most of it fades in time but, for me, some of those skin discolorations didn't fade with everything else. Enter, NIVEA Natural Tone: Body Lotion for an Even Skin Tone. Folks from NIVEA, if you are reading this, thank you! I was extremely lucky and tried this product on a whim when my Palmer's, cocoa butter formula ran dry. I had these dark patches of skin on my hips post pregnancy that bugged me. But, after using this product for about a month, the patches faded dramatically and most completely disappeared.
Cons to Consider: This product comes with an SPF 4 which, I admit, is pretty skimpy. However, for those unsightly places where pregnancy discoloration may occur i.e., nipples, hips, behind the neck, and below the belly button SPF isn't really a big deal. Who needs SPF where the sun don't shine? Also, as far as moisturizing goes, this is not a great product for those of us with thirsty skin. Load up on this stuff to treat your discolorations but, use another product for your moisturizing needs. Let me know what you think!
