My skin was always clear but ever since i got pregnant my face is full of pimples, especially on the chin. Im in first trimester. Is it the hormones doing this? feeling a bit upset honestly.
I am in my 2nd trimester now and my chin is covered in pimples! It is so frustrating, is anyone else facing this? My mom says it is because of the heat, but I think it is just the pregnancy hormones.
Yes, it's those crazy pregnancy hormones at work, dear. I had them too, but they slowly cleared up after my delivery. Just wash your face with a mild cleanser and keep yourself hydrated while breastfeeding later on.
Pregnancy acne is very common because of the rise in hormones called progesterone, which makes your skin produce more oil. Don't squeeze them, just drink lots of water and use a simple, gentle face wash. It usually goes away on its own!
Oh my god, my face was full of pimples in my first trimester and I was so worried it would never go away! Is it normal or is it some infection? Honestly, it is just hormones, but please don't use any chemical acne creams without asking your doctor first as they can be harmful to the baby.
I got terrible acne too, and since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful about my diet. Cutting down on oily and sugary foods helped my skin a bit, but it's mostly just pregnancy hormones doing their thing.
