Oh my ZITS!

My face (in particular my forehead and jaw line)... Is OUT of control. I don't even know what to do. Any face wash that I would normally run and pick up would have salicylic acid, which I'm told I shouldn't use. GAH! I'm drinking way more water than normal... Any ideas or helpful hints? My forehead literally hurts... Sigh... I'm almost 30 and look like I'm just entering puberty. 

Re: Oh my ZITS!

  • I'm right there with you!  What's worse....I NEVER break out!  It's my only lasting negative side effect so far, so I probably shouldn't complain, but...ewww. :(

  • I am the same way. I have always been lucky and had very clear skin so this is new to me. Ugh. I hate it!! I am hesitant to start using any new product because I have sensitive skin too. Not sure what to do.

  • I'm right there with you guys! My jawline is awful and painful! I have horribly dry skin and normally that's what causes my breakouts but it seems like my normal moisturizer is reacting weird with my face and making it greasy now which of course is just making the acne worse. I'm going to talk to my midwife at my appointment on Wednesday and see what she suggests :)

  • mine is my jaw line and my breasts! I get a couple small zits right between my breasts! 

    and someone told me my skin would clear up in PG... probably the same people who told me MS would go away...

  • I have used garlic in the past for breakouts. When you start feeling them fill up and become the bump I cut a piece of garlic and rub it on at night. Works for me.
  • Cethaphil face wash is a nice mild cleanser that I use.  I think it helps.  I don't have acne like I did last pregnancy, but am getting pimples more than usual.  It seems to be working.

  • I haven't had bad break outs, at least not yet, but my sister did. She actually used essential oils on her face, I think melaleuca is the one for acne and it cleared it up pretty quick!!
  • I feel like its my entire body! My back chest and all over my face. And on top of it they are the ones that want to last forever :/ hopefully they go away soon!
  • Same here! I swear I have a new zit every morning! It's awful!
