ACNE!!

My face is like a map! Lol. I bought a new foundation and I hope it covers most of my acne but anyways has anyone experience breaking out so much early in pregnancy. I have oily skin but I never broke out so much like maybe a pimple here and there but now I have a lot of tiny bumps(mostly on forehead), dark spots all around but mostly in cheek area. If anybody had bad acne during pregnancy what facial cleaner you used that cleared up your skin.

I use cetaphil, I have incredibly oily skin, and pregnancy has made my face a frying pan. You do need a moisturizer, because your face created that oil thinking it lacks moisture. Try not to touch too much and clean your brushes when you put on foundation. If you use sponges, I suggest switching to very clean fingers. Sponges keep bacteria. No foundation is best because it does clog your pores and suffocate them but if you have to try not to pack it on heavily. Make sure you wash all of it off before bed and keep your pillow cases clean, that contributes. Hope this helps

I have an amazing skin scrub recipe ladies!!! Ive never had but one or two pimples on my nose or chin.. always had great skin.. thanks two double hormones for these two boys i now have what u do.. tiny bumps on my forehead and nose and backne! Yuuuck! Ok so take about half a cup of regular or brown sugar and add in fresh lemon juice until you create a paste, make it thick paste too so u only need a little lemon juice. The sugar scrubs your skin and the lemon juice is a natural astringent that helps with evening your skin tone. Then add to it just a few drops of olive oil.. your skin needs this to rehydrate after the lemon juice.. but make sure its olive oil not veg oil! Lol i scrub my whole body with it.. stretch marked areas as well! Its not killed ALL of my acne but the difference is drastic! Try this out but only do it every other day.. too much will scrub your skin too much! I just keep it in a sealed container on the back of the tub. I usually dump the excess liquid that forms on top but i hope this works as well for you as it has for me!:)

I use Clearasil oil wipes. I clean my face throughout the day. It feels so much better, and you can see all the junk that's been removed. It's helped me out a lot. I don't have any pimples, but I've noticed that my skin has gotten oily.

Yes I did! I found the only thing that worked for me was Mary Kay botanical effects face wash and lotion.. You can get the oily skin one. It's also all natural!

If you can, go a week with no foundation. I use the clearasil deep clean astringent stuff and it works.pretty.good. and most importantly, DONT TOUCH YOUR FACE, even when you wash it, try not to rouch it for more then like 10 seconds.
