My skin has gone crazy since the second trimester started, breaking out everywhere. Im scared to use my old face products now in case theyre not safe. What did u all do for the pimples?
My derm said many acne meds arent safe in pregnancy, so she kept me on a gentle routine only, cleanser, oil free moisturiser and sunscreen. No retinoids, no salicylic acid. Said it usually clears after delivery once hormones settle. Always tell any doctor ur pregnant before they prescribe.
Beta dont worry too much, ye pregnancy ki garmi aur hormones se hota hai. Saada sa face wash use karo, thanda paani, aur cheher ko baar baar haath mat lagao. Koi tez cream lagane se pehle doctor se pooch lena.
Pregnancy acne is hormones, super common. Keep it simple, gentle face wash twice a day, dont pick, light moisturiser. Avoid retinol and salicylic strong stuff during pregnancy, check with ur doc before any acne cream.
I had bad acne in my third trimester and it honestly cleared up on its own a few weeks after delivery. During pregnancy I just kept my skin clean and didnt experiment. Hormones do their thing, hang in there.
I just stuck to washing face with a mild cleanser and a bit of besan with curd sometimes, kept it gentle. Avoided harsh products totally. If it gets really bad or cystic though, see a dermat who knows ur pregnant, dont use random creams.
