My skin has gone for a toss since i got pregnant, breakouts all over the cheeks. Im 11 weeks. Want to keep it gentle and safe, what worked for u mommas?
Personally, I just stopped using all my heavy makeup and chemical serums. I stuck to a simple routine of washing my face twice a day and applying rose water. It worked well enough for me without any risk.
With twins, I was expecting a double pregnancy glow but got double acne instead, haha! I just drank lots of water and ignored the mirror. Honestly, postpartum, your skin mostly goes back to normal anyway.
Ho na, early pregnancy skin can get so dry and patchy sometimes. I just used simple aloe vera gel and coconut oil at night. It's safe and kept my skin thoda soft.
I felt so conscious about my dull skin and pigmentation during my pregnancy. But my mother told me it's just the pregnancy glow hiding behind hormones, and it completely cleared up post-delivery. Just stay hydrated and don't worry, you are beautiful.
Listen, pregnancy hormones can play sweet havoc with your skin, so don't stress about acne right now. Just use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and a safe moisturizer. Avoid any strong chemical creams without asking your doctor, okay?
A lot of skin health comes from what we eat, but be careful. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to avoid sugary juices which people often recommend for glowing skin. Focus on eating fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and drinking plain water.
During pregnancy, many skincare ingredients like retinoids and salicylic acid are strictly unsafe for the baby. It is best to stick to basic hydration and consult a dermatologist or your gynac before using any active skin treatments.
I am in my 6th month and my face has completely broken out too! Is anyone else using raw milk or besan packs? Do these natural remedies actually help with pregnancy acne?
