I am a first time mommy and we are so very excited!!  I am only six weeks but my skin is just awful, I have been walking, drinking lots of water, lemon water, eating okay ish Ive been so so nauseated so lots of bread :/ I am wanting to try chlorophyll in my water to see if that helps and was wondering if any other mommies had any success with this natural remedy? I am a high risk pregnancy as I have swelling in my brain and so am looking for natural things only. My doctors did approve the Chlorophyll :) I really want to not feel so self conscious as I am use to going makeup free any help or advice would be so greatly appreciated !!!
Thanks! :)

    Welcome and congrats! I had the same issue throughout my last pregnancy and now this one too. I have been using the Belli brand face wash and spot treatment. It's safe for pregnancy. Not sure how "natural" you're thinking? Good luck!

    This stuff is my jam. No parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. But you'll have to look at the rest of the ingredients and see if it meets your natural need.

    I used to use Differn for hormonal cystic acne, but after a year, I decided to see what would happen if I quit using it. I switch to REN cleansers and face washes, and for the last 6 months of using these, I haven't gotten any of the same cystic acne I used to get.

    I started breaking out bad on my face and chest. I am using charcoal soap now daily and it has cleared up everything. I buy mine at Lush. It works wonders! Lush sells all natural hand made products like Soap, shampoo, deodorant...the whole nine yards.

    Straight up pure organic coconut oil. I know that sounds weird but as a cosmetic/skincare specialist for over 13 years it works great. It's not oil that clogs the pores and anything harsh will over dry your skin causing you to produce more oil and continue to breakout needing the ance solutions. I used coconut oil on my son when he was born and had some acne and cradle cap and it was gone in days!

    If you like essential oils look to make sure which ones are safe but lavender added to coconut oil will calm redness, lemon will act to clean out pores, this youncould actually put into cold water or witch hazel to dulute and make your own toner. Rosemary also calming.

    Just some ideas

    What do you do with the coconut oil? Just rub it in after washing your face?? I want to try this just not sure what to do with it. I have pimples on my chin since about 5 weeks (7 weeks now) that won't shift and extremely dry red skin on my cheeks that stings, almost burns, when I use anything on it. I always had fairly clear skin up until now and it's making me terribly self conscious.

    I use a cotton ball to run a apple cider vinegar and water mixture over my face, rinse with water, then put on coconut oil (I actually use that all over my body...I use it one my son too). It works really well and keeps skin nice and soft without clogging pores.

    I had it really bad my first pregnancy. Painful cystic acne that left scars I still have. The only thing that helped me was a prescription for Finacea. It's safe while pregnant. Luckily I haven't had it with either subsequent pregnancy.
