Im 14 weeks and my skin has gone crazy, never had this much acne even in my teens. Scared to use my old face creams now since pregnancy. What are you all using thats safe? pls share
With my PCOS my skin was always tricky so I expected the acne. I didnt experiment with strong products this time, just kept it gentle. Whatever you add, please run it by your gynac first na.
There are pregnancy-safe options but they really depend on your skin, so a dermat or your gynac is the best person to suggest. I avoided guessing on my own. Better safe with the products you put on daily.
I felt so bad about my skin in the second trimester, breakouts everywhere. What helped me was just keeping it simple, gentle face wash twice a day and lots of water. It calmed down on its own after delivery honestly.
Honestly I had no time for elaborate routines. Mild wash morning and night, drank water, slept when I could. Kept it minimal and that was enough actually.
Beta, simple multani mitti or a little chandan paste sometimes helps for normal pimples, my generation used that. But dont put too many things, and if it gets very bad or painful then show the doctor only.
My doc told me a lot of acne meds are not safe in pregnancy, especially retinoids and certain antibiotics. She said stick to a mild cleanser and ask before using anything new. I stopped my old face serum on her advice and it was fine.
