hello everyone
does anyone know how to help with acne
while pregnant?? i feel so disgusting, and
to make it worse it is all on my back! i
know i can't do much about it medication
wise, but if anyone has any suggestions...
i think i might have to ask the Dr about
it. i am supposed to be in a wedding in
june and i will be so embarrassed like
this! i am almost 14 weeks now.
thank you!!!

I so feel for you!! And its going to be
bad no matter what for the next few weeks
but I promise it will clear up! Mine did
about 2 weeks ago at 22 weeks.. yea I
always had perfect skin and i got acne so
bad and all over my back and chest.. My
suggestion is tons of water and lots of
showers ..Gets a brush that you can reach
your back with and scrub..Also try a
toner..

umm i used dermalogica..They have this
toner in a spray bottle that makes it
super easy to reach your back.. Also i
used the proactive toner.. Im pretty sure
whatever would work.. Just anything to
suck up that excess oil that your body is
producing.. Just dont pick at it! I did
and now i have such bad scarring on my
back that im not sure how Im going to get
rid of.

I started getting spots on my face and i
found that pure tea tree oil works really
well you just put some on your finger dab
it on and the oil dries up the spot

you're not supposed to use tea tree oil
when you're pregnant.

asked her
oh, ok. i had it on a list of things to
avoid during pregnancy and then i found
out it was the main ingredient in the
stuff i'd been using on my face. i totally
freaked out!

Things to do with pregnancy change so
much! When my sister had her little boy
she was told to eat more oily fish and
then when she got pregnant with her
daughter 6 months after her sons birth she
was told to eat very little oily fish.
Also when i was a baby my mum was told to
lay me on my front and now it's on the
back

thanks everyone! i got a brush so i hope
that helps a little with exfoliation.
yeah, i will see about a toner too. maybe
when it gets nicer i will be able to get
some sun and it will help seen as how i
can't tan!
