Can you find the natural handmade soap in Qatar???

It helps my daugther's skin. Maybe you need to try the natural soaps.

Sajna, should you be fasting in your 2nd mont of pregnancy? I don't believe thats very healthy, also its not required by Islam that a pregnant woman fast, as far as I am aware.

You need to eat for norishment for the baby.

As you are pregnant you should be careful in taking advices.

the best way is to consult a dermatologist. can suggest you to take appointment which is quite fast at Doha Clinic at Al-Nasser area.

Best of Luck.

Always use a high factor sunscreen on your face as pigmentation is exacerbated by sun exposure during pregnancy. There are some products that can bleach the "butterfly mask of pregnancy" but it very much depends upon your skin type. A good dermatologist can advise.

since you are pregnant, you are not advised to take any medication for that.. but you could use moisturizers to keep your skin smooth and hydrated.. when washing your face, dont use regular bath soap, use a mild soap preferably with moisturizers as well.. you can use Dove for washing your face.
