Acne acne acne!!!

Hi ladies! Just wondering if any of you guys are experiencing acne... like everywhere! My chest, neck and back/shoulders are insanely broken out! Any recommendations on acne body washes or something I can do? I didn’t have acne this bad when I was a teenager!

    No suggestions on body wash but I’d suggest reading the pinned posts and trying this in the symptoms thread.

    Neutrogena makes a Body Clear body wash that might help

    @mama0226 The active ingredient in that body wash is Salicylic Acid, which isn’t considered safe during pregnancy. It probably won’t do much harm since it’s applied topically, but I wouldn’t use it unless really necessary.

    Also salicyclic acid face wash is fine as long as you’re not eating it - per my amazing OB that delivered DD in 2014.

    Thanks for the feedback ladies! I might have to look into that acne body wash. I just started trying tea tree oil today... I need to do something! I feel so gross

    I use the Belli brand for facial scrub, wash, and spot treatment. It’s a brand specifically made for pregnant women, can be bought off Amazon, and is “OBGYN recommended.” They also have a body wash available. I’ve always had pretty iffy skin, and I was bracing myself for the worst case scenario when I found out I was pregnant. I used a lot of various products before, and wanted to tone that down and have some peace of mind while pregnant. I did break out quite a bit around my chin during weeks 10-12, but now thankfully it’s going away in week 13. Considering my tendency to break out anyway, I thought it was going to be wayyy worse. The Belli products helped! Good luck!

    Your acne might be hormonal. You could try consulting with an acne naturopath. They can help identify the underlying causes of your breakouts and develop a personalised treatment plan.
