Postpartum Skin Isn’t Perfect—But It’s Worth Loving Anyway

No one told you your skin would change again after delivery.

You made it through the pregnancy glow—or maybe battled through hormonal acne—and now here you are: facing dry patches, dark circles, sudden breakouts, or that faint line running down your belly that no one warned you about.

It’s confusing. It’s frustrating.
And most of all, it feels like one more unexpected thing in the postpartum mix.

But mama, your skin is simply adjusting—just like you are.

So why does postpartum skin change so much?

The answer, as with so much after birth, lies in the hormonal rollercoaster. Right after delivery, estrogen and progesterone levels plummet. Add in sleep deprivation, breastfeeding demands, and the emotional overwhelm of early motherhood, and it’s no surprise your skin is calling for help.

Some moms notice acne flare-ups worse than in their teenage years. Others see melasma—those darker patches across the face—intensify. Skin may feel dry, dull, or sensitive, and for many Indian moms, hyperpigmentation around the neck, underarms, or tummy can linger long after childbirth.

The good news? Most of these changes are temporary.
But that doesn’t mean you have to simply wait them out.

You don’t need a 10-step skincare routine or harsh chemical actives.
What your skin needs right now is the same thing your heart does—gentle, nourishing care.

Start with the basics:

• A mild, hydrating cleanser

• A simple moisturizer with aloe, coconut oil, or almond oil

• Staying hydrated (even if it means sips between feeds and naps)

• Daily sun protection, even indoors—especially if you’re noticing pigmentation

And perhaps most importantly—be kind when you look in the mirror.

At Putchi, we don’t promise perfect skin.
We promise comfort in your own skin.

Give it care.
And remember—you’re still glowing, even on the hard days.
