My skin used to be pretty clear but ever since i got pregnant my face is full of pimples. Im like 12 weeks now. Is this because of the hormones and will it settle down later?
With my PCOS background I'm always prone to acne, so pregnancy made it worse for sure. I was careful not to use any strong actives like retinol or salicylic, since those arent advised now. Check with your doc before using any acne cream na.
Pregnancy glow? More like pregnancy oil refinery on my forehead haha. It's totally normal yaar, hormones doing their drama. It cleared up after delivery so dont stress too much.
It's the hormones, plain and simple. Both times my skin broke out badly in the first few months and then settled. Just keep it simple with a gentle cleanser and dont try new products without asking your gynac.
My tracker app actually explained it's the surge in hormones boosting oil production. I switched to a mild face wash and lots of water and it calmed down by second trimester. Avoid the strong skincare for now, just keep it basic.
