Anyone's Skin Clearing Up?

Has anyone else had a good reaction with their skin during pregnancy?

 

I've always had irritation and redness on my arms growing up. And now my elbows are forearms are so much softer! I'm hoping this is a reaction from the prenatal pills because I can keep taking something ... like fish oil... once she arrives.

 

Any advice for those who have knowledge on vitamins, etc? Or does anyone have similar reactions?

 

(For those who are breaking out instead, I'm getting my fair share of pimples on my face. But it's a nice tradeoff for now. ha!)

Re: Anyone's Skin Clearing Up?

  • My face is definitely clearing up - which is a nice relief since I've had problem skin for a couple of years now, but my chest and back still look like a war zone!! I've been using a natural facial cleanser instead of my regular facial cleanser so I don't know if its that, the vitamins or just the hormones.  I'm hoping that my chest and back take a cue from my face soon though! LOL!

    Yay for you! 

    I'm hoping it's not the hormones, but instead something I can continue doing after my wittle bundle arrives :)

  • My skin is normally a nightmare but during this pregnancy it has never looked better.  I am going to be so sad if it goes back to being terrible.

  • Now that you mention it, yes my face has cleared up a bit. *knock on wood*  But I'm not sure if that is due to pregnancy hormones or the fact that I started washing my face twice a day and stopped wearing foundation.  Either way I'll take it.  I was breaking out pretty bad for awhile.
