My skin hates me! Arg!

Hey there! So since I've been pregnant I've noticed that my skin has completely turned against me. I haven't had acne breakouts this bad since puberty, and it's completely out of control. I know it's just a hormonal thing and will likely clear up after delivery, but I was just wondering if there are any skin cleansers you ladies would recommend. Or any skin care tips to help clear me up in the meantime. 

 Please please! Anything would be better than this!

 Thanks.

I have had an awful time with my skin! Everyone is so different, but here's what has worked for me... almost completely clear now (finally). The key for me, even though everyone talks about the excess oil, it to not let my skin get too dry. 

Morning: Glycolic acid wash (Glytone for oily skin); tea tree oil wipe; mixture of Aveda sensitive moisturizer with a few drops of pure jojoba oil. I use clinique tinted moisturizer/light foundation on top of this when I go to work.

Evening: Aveda gel cleanser for normal/oily skin; Azelex (azeleic acid) mixed with a few drops of jojoba oil

I use a gentle scrub twice a week.

The jojoba oil may make you break out a bit more at first as your pores clear out but I swear it helped me more than anything! The tea tree oil wipes (I got mine at Trader Joes) are great too. My skin is glowing now. Good luck!
