1st Trimester

Acne

I am 8 weeks pregnant and my face has been breaking out, not terrible, but it usually stays clear. I have read you are not supposed to use any acne products. Any suggestions on what I could try to calm the acne down that isn't acne related?

  • Maybe tee tree oil? And a lot of face washing.

    I have always had problem skin and was really bummed when I learned I should stay away from my topical ance meds/face wash. I just ordered this combo: https://www.beautedemaman.com/products-page/pregnancy-products/acne-in-pregnancy-combo/

    This is only the second day I've used it, but I swear it's already made a difference (for the better) in my skin. The lotion has tea tree oil and seems to have a really drying affect, but doesn't make my skin feel super dry. 

    But..the lotion smells really strong and herbal. It's going to take some getting used to. I'll check back in a few weeks from now and let you know how I'm getting along!

  • Ugh. Mine too. I've neverrrr had skin problems before either! It's so frustrating. I've been using st.Ives apricot scrub but I planned on going out today and picking up some bare minerals face stuff. I had heard it was pretty good!
