Hey girl!
I have been getting a few spots as well
here and there. I just went and bought a
3 step kit from clinique. My g/f uses it
and loves it. Someone also told me about
the vichy line of skin care - it's also
supposed to be really good.
Unfortunately, there's not too much you
can do about acne right now b/c you're
getting it b/c of your raging
hormone's!!!! It will get better though
and usually your face tends to clear up
into your 2nd trimester and you'll start
to get your "pregnancy glow".......Or so
i'm hoping!!!!! Lol
try finding something to suit your skin
type and/ or with a salicylic acid in it
(if you can use this on your face) - it's
ok to use when your pregnant. It will
help with the acne. Don't use heavy
foundations and use an oil-free
moisturizer!!!!!!!!
Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Hope this info helps you!?!

Ask your dr before you use anything on
your face. I was told some are not to be
used I cant remember which ones. Oh and I
heard that salicylic acid has not been
tested on pregnant woment so how can they
know its safe

Thanks both of ya...It helps a lot I have
really seriously been thinking about
getting dermabrasion some day when I have
the money to get rid of the spot scars..Im
so sick of looking like a pizza face..Or
so they tease the kids out here with that
stupid name..Andrew has asked me why my
skins getting worse..I said because your
little booger is making my hormones go
nuts!!! I hope they go away...What clears
the scars jae is that what you talking

Actually - salicylic acid is safe to use
when you are pregnant. I have asked 2
doctor's about this and anything topical
is generally ok, but of course, it is wise
to consult your doctor first before
using!!!!!
K - not too sure that there is a cream out
there that will actually work well enough
to reduce the scaring from acne. I've
heard of some, but I don't know anyone
who's used it???!!!!
Vichy I thought was sold in the States as
well??? I can't imagine it only being here
in Canada - it's a European brand I
thought??? We never have anything that the
States doesn't have!!!!!
Pregnancy glow here we come
ladies!!!!!!!!!!!
