My poor skin :(

< This is just a vent >

Started this whole ttc journey with sensitive skin, and rarely broke out. With my first BFP, I had some serious breaking out - it was nuts. Then, m/c happened in Dec., and my skin stayed oily/gross and kept breaking out. Well, last week I finally broke down and bought a toner and a benzoyl peroxide creme to get things back in order - which is something I would have never done before, as I used to get huge red splotches from anything stronger than witch hazel. Well, I don't know WTF is going on now, but my skin has literally, overnight, gone back to dry and super sensitive. UGG.

Thank you, that is all.

You know where this post would have fit in really well? WTF Wednesday. Not trying to be snarky, I just wasn't sure whether you saw it or not. (ETA: Now I see that you posted there after writing this.)

Sorry your skin is freaking out. My skin freaked out during my miscarriage and still kind of is. But mine is only on my back, neck, chest, not my face. Weird.

Yup, me too. Even since I got pregnant (and m/c) I have been breaking out bad. Face, back, neck. GROSS! Neck is finally getting better, back if getting there, but my face is still horrible.

Hope your clears up.

I've been getting terrible acne since off the OCP but have found those Yes to Cucumber wipes and they've been working out for me. I have super combination skin. These wipes do a good job and are less drying than washing your face 1-2 times a day.

Im dealing with the same thing. I m/c in November and my skin is all jacked up now. I've been using Youth Code cleanser, Neutrogena toner, and Dermalogica Adult acne kit. It's been clearing up a little but i still get the deep cystic type.

i used to love my skin but it has been a mess lately too. i recently got a free sample of the clinique repairwear laser serum and i think it has helped a lot. if you go to the counter they will give you a free 2-week sample.

OCM: Oil Cleansing Method. My skin started acting like a little b*tch about 3 months after I went off BCP. I posted about it here and several women recommended OCM (I'd link to it, but there's little to no chance of me finding a thread from over a year ago). I tried it and my skin got a lot better. It wasn't perfect, but it was better. Now I do a combination of OCM at night and Philosophy in the morning. DH says it's nice to have my face back.... I agree!

Ughhh, me too. I've been breaking out a lot more than I ever have before. My skin used to be absolutely flawless, and now there are little breakouts everywhere. I really hate it. I'm getting used to it, but it still flucking sucks.
