At 17 weeks, I'm getting pretty annoyed at my bacne. Anyone else getting this too? I break out in random spots and they hurt not to mention itchy skin. I try not scratch but it's becoming unbareable! Any recommendations?
I was completely in the same boat. I got horrible bacne and I broke out on my face too. It was particularly bad under my bra straps. I started using forever living aloe Vera gelly, it's just 100% pure aloe, on my face and back, and it's done wonders. My skin was calmed and clear within a few days. Aloe is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory so it's a great way to combat the zits!
Yep And chest, shoulders, neck, and face. Everywhere that's hormonal. Not fun! I've been using a face-wash called "Belli" and it seems to be working well to clear it thus far. It's pregnancy safe.
I had it in the beginning of my pregnancy and exfoliated my back with a loofah and St. Ives Even & Bright cleanser (grapefruit-based). I also made sure to keep my skin dry and would change out of any sweaty and tight clothes ASAP after I exercised. It has since completely gone away by the beginning of the second trimester (now 25+1). The aloe PP's mentioned seems like I great idea too! I've always kept an actual plant to use on minor burns and have used refrigerated aloe gel so soothe sunburns in the past but this suggestion is new to me but makes complete sense! If mine returns I will definitely give that a try.
