Since 3rd month my face has gone full breakout mode, never had this much acne before yaar. I stopped my old products coz scared to use anything now. Any gentle things that worked for u all?
I totally understand how frustrating it is to look in the mirror and see breakouts when everyone talks about a 'pregnancy glow'. Please be gentle with yourself, your body is doing something beautiful. Drink lots of water and remember you are gorgeous just the way you are.
My mom suggested applying a simple besan and dahi pack on my face twice a week instead of chemical creams. It really helped with the pregnancy dullness and is completely safe. Check with your elders for simple ghar ke nuskhe!
My skin was a mess during my second trimester, but looking back now that my baby is a toddler, it was all temporary hormonal changes. Most of it cleared up on its own postpartum. Just stick to a mild, soap-free cleanser and a safe moisturizer.
Many skin treatments and active ingredients like salicylic acid are unsafe during pregnancy. I directly consulted the dermatologist at my hospital, and they gave me a safe, pregnancy-friendly skincare routine. Definitely ask your doctor before applying anything.
Drink at least 3 liters of water daily to flush out toxins, it really helps the skin. Also, avoid retinoids or heavy chemical peels completely right now. A simple routine of aloe vera gel and coconut oil works wonders for many moms.
I panicked so much when I got dark patches on my neck and face! I kept thinking it would stay forever, but my gynac said it's just pigmentation from hormones. Try not to stress about it too much, it honestly gets better after delivery.
Chemical products bilkul band kar do abhi ke liye. Keep your skin hydrated and eat fresh fruits. Ye pregnancy glow sabke liye nahi hota, hormones ki wajah se acne normal hai, delivery ke baad sab theek ho jayega.
