Washington [US], As Mandy Moore eagerly awaits the arrival of her third child, the actress and singer has candidly shared her experience with pregnancy-induced melasma, a condition that causes discoloration of the skin. This causes changes in temperature which increases especially during the summer months.

In a heartfelt Instagram Story, the 'This Is Us' star lamented, "Pregnancy melasma is the pits. I heard @lymalife can help."

The message was accompanied by a photo of Mandy using the Lima Laser, a skin care device known for its cosmetic benefits, on her temples.

She looked relaxed in a terry cloth headband and striped tank top and embraced a moment of self-care amid the challenges of pregnancy.

Melasma, often called the “mask of pregnancy,” appears as light brown or blue-gray spots on the skin, resembling freckles.

Unfortunately, the condition can intensify under the sun's rays, as experts at the Cleveland Clinic point out, according to E! news.

Despite battling melasma, Mandy Moore has expressed her immense joy at expanding her family with husband Taylor Goldsmith.

In a heartfelt Instagram post on May 31, they announced the upcoming arrival of their daughter with a touching photo of their sons, Gus and Ozzie, hinting at their excitement over their growing family.

"Sometimes life imitates art," Mandy shared, "The third of our own Big Three is coming soon. Can't wait for these boys to have a little sister."

Wanting a daughter was a long-standing desire of hers, as she told E! News in 2023, "Truth be told, I haven't closed the door on having a big family. I'm like, Oh my God, I really want a girl."
