Skin breakouts driving me NUTS.

Anyone else? I am breaking out not only on my forehead but on my chest and neck. Yuk.

I am willing to try anything that helps and is safe of course?

Thanks!!

    I'm right there with you. I take biotin to help. It was cleared by my Dr and it always helped before I was pregnant.

    My skin is awful!!!  Breakouts, red splotchiness, and soooo itchy.  I have tried so many different things!  Will it ever get better??

    I need a serious spot treatment or something! Between the breakouts and the "mask of pregnancy" AKA melasma I look like a hot mess.

    My skin is really oily and bad too. Using my Clarisonic seems to help keep the breakouts down though. I was gone for 4 days and didn't have it, and I can definitely see a difference.

    I use a Clarisonic as well and it helps. My skin is pretty oily too. I use the Danne Montague King  Deep Pore Cleanser in the evening and the PCA regular face wash in the morning. Staying on top of it helps. Danne also has "Melanoplex Drops" that are safe to use during pregnancy for the discoloration of the skin and it helps some. Sadly, I still have a blotch on the side of my forehead from when I was pregnant with DD 7 years ago!

    I've been using baking soda as a spot treatment. Mix it with a little water to make a paste, and leave on for 15 minutes.

    I've been using the Belli spot treatment...and makeup to cover up the lovely pregnancy mask.
    I may have to try Belli treatment (and baking soda) for my breakouts. Oh, and maybe switch to a cheaper makeup for the cover-up ;)

    On the makeup front, I have discovered an absolutely awesome product--it's called Palladio, it's a wet/dry foundation compact and the coverage is just amazing (without being too heavy). You should be able to pick it up at specialty beauty stores. It runs about $11-ish here, but lasts me about 2 months (of course it will depend on how much you use).
    I have a....lets just say *little* bit of a make up addiction. Believe it or not, I have actually tried Palladio! I can't stand the feeling of having make-up on my face so most powders or mineral make ups are out (I used BE for years). Now I use BB cream and I LOOOOOVE it.

    Fair enough :) For me, BE just didn't work--I swear it accentuated every little fine line on my face (and I really don't have that many) and just made me look old. Then again maybe I was applying it wrong, I'm not exactly wonderful with makeup.
    Me too!!!! And I wasn't even old (then, lol). Now I use Dior BB cream and apply with a beauty blender and I looooooove it. Once you find something that works, it is no fun to switch!
