Suddenly my whole chin and jawline has broken out since i got pregnant, never had this much acne before. Im scared to use my usual face products now in case its not safe for baby. What did you all use that actually worked? pls share.
No time for fancy routines here. I just kept oil off my face with a basic face wash and changed pillow covers often. Pimples calmed down on their own. Don't pick at them, that leaves marks.
My mother said dont put too many things on the face, keep it clean and eat fresh fruits. Simple worked for me. For anything more, just confirm with your doctor what cream is okay.
Pregnancy glow they said. Nobody warned me about pregnancy pimples lol. I just made peace with it and used a gentle wash, they vanished after baby came. Skin drama is temporary, hang in there.
With my PCOS I always had pimple issues so pregnancy made it worse honestly. I stayed away from any strong acne creams coz some arent safe in pregnancy. Asked my gynac before using anything, pls do the same.
Pregnancy acne is super common, blame the hormones. The main thing is avoid retinol and salicylic acid products as some are not advised now. A dermat or your gynac can suggest a safe cleanser, that's the safest route.
Ohh I felt so bad about my skin in pregnancy, breakouts everywhere especially chin. I just kept it simple, washed face twice with a mild cleanser and stopped touching it. Hormones settle after delivery, mine did.
Beta in our time we just used besan and a little curd as a face pack, very gentle. Drink lots of water also. But for the creams from chemist, always check with doctor first, skin during pregnancy is sensitive.
