My skin has gone for a toss since i got pregnant, so many pimples on my forehead and chin. Im in second trimester now. Scared to use my old products because of all the ingredient warnings. What did you ladies use that was safe?
I felt so frustrated with breakouts on my whole jaw, it made me self conscious. What helped was a mild cleanser and not touching my face. My gynac told me to avoid strong acne products. It calmed down a lot after delivery honestly.
Amma told me to use plain besan and curd as a gentle face pack and it was soothing, nothing harsh. Keep face clean and eat fresh. But for any cream, ask your gynac first, some ingredients are a no in pregnancy.
I stuck to natural stuff, mild cleanser, aloe, lots of water and it stayed manageable. The main rule, avoid retinol and salicylic strong products in pregnancy. If acne gets really bad or cystic, let a doctor suggest a pregnancy safe option.
Pregnancy pimples are so common, hormones go crazy. Keep it simple, gentle face wash twice, dont over scrub, drink lots of water. But please dont use any acne cream or tablet on your own, many arent safe in pregnancy. Ask your doctor for a safe option.
