My skin was always clear before but now suddenly so many pimples on cheeks and forehead. Is it the hormones na? second trimester here. honestly feeling bad looking in mirror, is this normal for everyone?
Hormones are changing so much as a new soul is coming into your life, so these tiny skin changes are normal. Don't worry too much, just keep your mind calm and drink lots of water. God has made our bodies strong enough to handle all this, so stay positive!
Arey, those hormones cause both morning sickness and awful skin breakouts! I had both so badly in my first trimester. Try to wash your face with a gentle, soap-free cleanser and avoid touching the pimples. It usually gets much better in the second trimester.
Actually hormonal changes are the main reason for these breakouts. My MIL suggested putting a little cold raw milk or besan pack on my face instead of using chemicals. It really helped cool down the skin naturally, so you can try that!
Mainly it's due to huge hormonal shifts in pregnancy, but please check with your gynac before applying any standard anti-acne creams. Some ingredients like salicylic acid or retinoids are not safe right now. Better to get safe creams prescribed by your doctor.
