2nd Trimester

skin changes

I'm 14 weeks.  I'm not sure if this is due to the weather changes, or pregnancy, or both, but my face is drying out so badly that the skin is flaking, yet I'm still breaking out like a teenager.  My regular face wash and moisturizer isn't cutting it, and I can no longer use the acne products. Anyone else experience this?  Any products you can recommend? 

Re: skin changes

  • I was having this issue and my scalp was also flaking. I went for a facial and she said myself and my skin were dehydrated. She said drink more water and wash only 2x a day and use an oil free moisturizer.

  • I have no suggestions but feel your pain. My skin is dry but breaking out and I'm getting dandruff! FML.

  • I like the Bella B products, too.  But my skin is also very dry.  And I started getting dandruff for the first time in my life!  Try Lush (you can shop online) or go to a store and have them do a consultation on your skin type.  I went in when my skin was at it's worse, and the products that I tried and bought have really helped me a ton.  A minor zit here and there...nothing like my breakouts were before.

    I know my breakouts have a lot to do with how my diet has changed, but also the hormones.  When my break outs get bad, I try to cut back on sugar and dairy.  It helps my skin clear up.  Some of my fav Lush products:

    Fresh Farmacy face soap

    Herbalism clay soap

    Grease Lightening tea tree oil acne spot treatment

    Enzymion face moisturizer

    Therapy moisturizer bar

    Celestial face moisturizer (at night)

    Rose Argan Body Conditioner

    Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo

    R&B leave-in conditioner
