Oh my god, I am facing this right now in my fifth month! My face is full of tiny pimples and it's so frustrating. Does it get better after delivery, or are there any safe face washes you guys are using right now?
I completely understand how stressful this is, because looking in the mirror and seeing acne when you are already feeling so bloated can really pull you down. I used to cry about my skin during my first trimester. Please don't let it upset you, you are beautiful and this is just a temporary change.
It is absolutely normal, don't worry about it. In our house, my saas used to say that acne means it's due to body heat and hormones changing. She made me apply a simple besan and dahi pack, and honestly, that helped a lot without using any chemicals.
I just delivered last month and trust me, my skin was a mess during the second trimester. I had breakouts all over my cheeks. But right after baby came, my skin started clearing up on its own. It's just a phase, it will pass!
It's totally normal, so please don't run to expensive dermatologists and waste money on costly creams. All these skin changes are just pregnancy hormones. Better to save that money for hospital delivery packages and basic baby shopping instead of expensive skincare.
Haan, bilkul normal hai. Instead of buying fancy creams, just wash your face with plain water or mild soap twice a day. Multani mitti is a great, cheap home remedy that works wonders for soaking up extra oil. Just keep it simple and don't touch your face too much.
Yes, hormones can cause breakouts. I noticed that when I started doing my regular 30-minute prenatal walks and yoga, which my gynac allowed, the sweat actually helped clear my skin pores a bit. Just keep yourself active and hydrated, but check with your doctor before starting any exercise routine.
