Acne during pregnancy? HELP!

Shocklee16 · Dec 6th, 2009, 21:28 PM

Ever since finding out I was pregnant I have had the worst skin problems. I never used to break out as bad as I tend too now...anyone have any personal tips you use to get rid of your facial blemishes. I feel so ugly with my face always breaking out. Ugh, its just disgusting.

aaargh ive had that problem with my shoulders while being pregnant. Its eased up abit now though. i didnt really do anything different i just make sure i shower daily and use my loofer and always use a nice gentle face cleanser daily

Maybe nothing too harsh though because it might dry out your skin xx

awww.. i feel for you! I have been going through the same thing and I even had to changed facial wash cleansers. I am trying to use something that is stronger on acne and pimples and always use mositurizer. Good luck.

Thanks! I also heard that using a white tooth paste and putting that on a pimple over night really helps...but since I only have different colored tooth paste thats no help too me. Lol. Thanks girls!

Hi, I understand what you mean. My face just wont clear up.....

, it drives me crazy. I have just found that putting tea tree oil on the blemishes at night really helps clear them up, just a suggestion that works for me (I have only just started using it in the last couple of days and i can already see the difference).

Wow, really? Where do you come across tea tree oil?

I find if I use Tea Tree Oil (You can find it in The Body Shop) use a q-tip and put it on the zit/zits, it dries them up and they tend to go away within a few days!

Works wonders for me...

I use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide (aka Neutrogena On-the-Spot). It's worked great for me.

my whole face has just gone crazy! ive got pimples on my forehead and chin, and my skin has gone really greasy, but the skin around my nose has gone sooo dry! i guess thats what they mean when they same 'combination skin!' lol its sooo frustrating, coz im having to use different products for different ares of my face, on the plus side, ive managed to stop my hair falling out now! (off topic i know, but combined with the spots i was so miserable)
