Why face looks dull in pregnancy?

This is called ‘chloasma’. It is also sometimes known as ‘melasma’ or the ‘mask of pregnancy’. Chloasma is thought to be due to stimulation of pigment-producing cells by female sex hormones so that they produce more melanin pigments (dark coloured pigments) when the skin is exposed to sun.
