1st Trimester

I feel like a pimple face....

I know it is probley my hormones but I use a biore face cleansing system that has always kept me clear.... I get a new pimple everyday... is there anything extra that I can do to try to avoid this? or am I stuck with pimples?  anyone else have this problem too...?

Re: I feel like a pimple face....

  • Just call me "pizza face" :) So far, if I don't wash my face twice a day and don't drink lots and lots of water and  eat chocolate, my face breaks out........I hate having high maintenance pregnant skin!

  • It is SO not just you... trust me.... ? ?my derm. tells me to exfoliate as much as possible (daily) and that usually helps me ? ?
  • I have the little annoying ones not that aren't noticable but still annoying. I just starting washing my face with a rice and honey face wash something natural and it does the trick some what... We all are probably just stuck with a "pimple face" because of the raging hormones.

    I have not tried that... I will have to get something....

  • Ditto!  It is sooo frustrating!  I have a million tiny ones that you can really only feel on my forehead and they are driving me crazy!  I also get the occasional larger one that pops up every now and then.  Makes it a little embarassing when you are visiting family and friends over the holidays and they don't "know" yet.  Hopefully it will clear up soon........?????

  • I told my uncle I was pregnant and he said " I know because of all the spots on your face"  "You mean my zits!?  Thanks..."
  • Ugh me too! I was using benzoyl peroxide (before BFP and a little after) but after all of the different stuff I have read I recently stopped. Now I'm just alternating between St. Ives Apricot Scrub and Dove Facial soap twice a day. It is not really doing the trick though...
  • Ugh, unfortunately you can join the group.  This happened to me with my first pregnancy too and by the second trimester my face was clear again.

    Good luck!

  • My saying for the past few months?  I feel like a pubescent teenager who just ate a Hershey bar.  I'll take all the glorious side effects that come with this pregnancy, but I do miss my clear skin!

  • yes same here- it hurts to touch my face and i have never had acne before-it's allllll along my jawline :(   i would get a few pimples around period time but nothing crazy- this is crazy- during christmas dinner (before we broke the news) my SIL comes up to me and was like what's wrong with your face? are you getting rosacea? she meant it in a caring way, but now i know it's that noticiable haha- she found out soon enough!
  • i swear on proactiv solution - it's been keeping my complexion immaculate - and they don't test on animals, either! :)
  • My face is horrible!!! My chin and jaw line especially... I had a facial last week and the girl told me that it's all hormonal of course and that it usually means you're having a boy because the rising testosterone is competing with estrogen??? I have never heard this before... that's just crazy right?
