Hi,

I'm almost 3 months pregnant with my 3rd. As with the first 2, I'm experiencing acne. I do have occasional acne when I am not pregnant, but it generally goes away quickly without a major problem. My pregnancy acne is large, almost sist-like and they are coming on 2 at a time and more; and they are lasting weeks at a time. I'm looking to know who's had the same experience and if anything helped: Face cleanser, lotions, makeup, makeup remover, medicines that are safe...etc. I'm already concerned about the weight I'm putting on because I can't seem to not be hungry...ever; And the last thing I want is to have this problem for the next 6-7 months. Thanks for your help.

What can I do next?

I have gone to a Dr and they recommend Neutragena Clean and Clear (orangey color /pump style) from any drug store. I used that for a long while they also had me start using a lotion in the more the same brand... as it was to help even out the drying from the face wash and putting the moiture back into my skin.

S.,

I am an independent representative for a natural bodycare company. We have face care products as one of our main products. We have 4 different types of products based on how your skin is. Definately with hormones changing this can affect how your skin is.

I would love to recommend one of our products for you, but I'd like to try to figure out the line that would do you the most good. If you are interested, please message me and I would love to have a discussion to figure out your "new" skin type.

I myself have had much success with our products on my face (I have acne that is currently treated with medication) and I have several customers who suffer from Rosacia that have good results from our products.

I discovered Mary Kay microdermabrasion. I wash my face every day with their cleansing bar soap and then use the micro. They say not to use it every day because it is very drying, and that's exactly what I needed. My skin gets so oily when I am pregnant. But this stuff seems to do the trick. Best of luck
