Holy greasy self.

in June 2016 Moms
Almost 11 weeks and am a big greasy pimply blob. Is anyone else going through this? I normally have dry skin. Please commiserate with me if you are dealing with this :)

    Yup. So much so. My hair always looks like its dripping in oil and my face has reverted to my teenage years. It's awful.

    I'm opposite. I normally have to control my slightly oily skin, but my skin is so dried out right now!

    I'm also the opposite. Ibusually have normal to slightly oily skin and every time I'm pregnant my skin dries out terribly. I have to put lotion on my face like 3 timesaver I get out of the shower before it isn't itchy from dryness.

    I was just complaining to DH about this!  I told him I felt like a bloated greasy mess and apologized for being gross.  He rolled his eyes.  At least I'm not alone?  FX that this is one of those things that goes away soon...

    I had this with my first pregnancy. Huge greasy blobs in the hair, they would appear even right after I washed my hair. I used dove shampoo and that helped alot. So far almost 11 weeks and I haven't noticed a change in my hair yet.

    Yes, yes and yes. Everything's greasy, but I've recently given up on eyeliner since it can't stick to the oil slick that my eyelids have become (what?). It's disgusting.

    Yes!!! So gross! My face is covered in pimples, I feel like a greasy teenager. But, everywhere else my skin is super dry. I also apologized to my husband for being so disgusting... He of course laughed, but I was totally 100% serious....

    My hair gets greasy less than a day after washing, and while my face seems as dry as usual I've been breaking out on my forehead and one cheek. :( Hope this is just a first trimester thing.

    Yeah, I've got a breakout on my chin right now. My hair is also super greasy. My doctor said I was okay to use a facewash with salicylic acid since the concentration amount is so low and that is helping -- ask your doctor if he recommends anything.

    I'm in the same boat! I am breaking out like crazy in very large, painful pimples on my chin. I feel like an unattractive mess! I'm really hoping it eases up in the 2nd trimester!

    I'm on the dry side. My skin is dry and dull. My hair is dry and lifeless.

    I used to skip a day of washing my hair. Lately I feel like I need to wash it 3 times a day to look fresh. My face is so gross too..

    I seriously thought I was the only one who turned back into an oil-slicky teenager. Even though it sucks, it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

    Today I found a pimple growing on top of another. Didn't even know that shit was possible.

    I'm also breaking out like a teenager, but only on the left half of my face. But that half is BAD and very zit-y. Weird. I'm ready for my pregnancy glow to get here!!

    Yes, it's so bad! I feel like a 12 year old girl! My face is awful and my hair.. Forget it! It's frizzy when I first wash it, which is abnormal for me, then about an hour later I turn into a greaseball. This didn't happen with my first (aside from the breakouts) so I guess I wasn't expecting it!

    I'm so gross. I feel so un-pretty. I also need to pluck my eyebrows and shave my mustache, but who cares, really? image

    I wish my face was either JUST oily or JUST dry.... I'm all sorts of splotchy and its driving me insane!! My chin is like a zit fest, while one corner of my mouth one eyelid, the right side of the bridge of my nose and a spot on my left cheek are dry and beyond itchy. Lets not even mention the hair, let alone the fact that I now find myself shaving my armpits every other day. Ugh. 

    I keep apologizing to DH for being gross, but he's being a good sport about it. If he notices that I'm a bit down about one thing or another, he tries to help find a way to fix it. The other night, he even offered to draw a bath for me and wash my hair so I wouldn't have to. HAH!!! I wouldn't punish anyone but the hairdresser or myself to tackle my hair. Its so long and way too thick, and Im in desperate need of a MAJOR haircut.

    I had the glow! It lasted one day in week 3...
    Never saw it again. Didn't even know I was pregnant then, but 5 of my coworkers commented how wonderful I looked that day.

    I have DANDRUFF for the first time. Dandruff! My husband is a barber and I really want him to give me a scalp treatment but I also don't want him to see just how grotesque I am.

    I had breakout issues but changed my routine a bit! I use eminence and switched to the mineral cleanser and bright skin serum. Lifesaving products. For. Real.

    I almost didn't find this thread!!! I almost created a duplicate! Holy grease ball batman! My hair is prematurely turning grey, and normally on the dry side because of it. I color it so try to shampoo every other day. But nope! Not with this baby!! As if it's hard enough to function normally without having to wash my damn hair everyday! And my face??? I didn't have this bad of complexion in high school!!!! Here I am grown ass adult and look like hell.
