2+ Moms: How soon after...

Will my skin go back to normal? I am so tired of having breakouts on my back and chest!

  • There were a couple other post partum questions I had but pregnancy brain is striking right now and I cant think of them. So if anyone else has any, please add them!

  • I can't totally remember, but I do remember feeling much more myself and "normal" all around at 4 months which also happened to be when I stopped pumping and they were sleeping through the night.

  • My skin actually gets better with pregnancy, minus the melasma. 

    But my girlfriends have all had luck with it going away in 2 months or less.  Only one girlfriend had her breakouts longer but she had a micro preemie and I think the stress in that situation was the reason it stayed longer.

  • Mine is the complete opposite...after birth my face turns back into a pizza...now its nice, fat, juicy and clear...lol. I do know that it takes about 3 months afterwards for your hair to start falling out, so maybe the skin change will be a similar time frame, due to hormones?

  • I'm the opposite too.  My face clears up during pregnancy.    I would think once the hormones settle down after birth your face should go back to pre-pregnancy.  I know mine gets gross again after I give birth.
