Any tips for acne in pregnancy? I have PCOS so it’s always been an issue but has gotten so so bad since this pregnancy. I was using adaplene gel but I was told not to use it when pregnant and im flat broke so nothing I can really buy right now. Any home remedies you have tried? Thanks for the advice! I feel like hiding my face
Nothing has helped me besides cold water. Every time I get hot I put cold water all over my face or if I break out bad. I never had a issue with breaking out. My first pregnancy I never did but this whole pregnancy it’s been nothing but acne after acne
I have no idea I’m just following to see who comments , have you tried aloe Vera ? Just put it on at night & it’ll reduce redness I don’t know about actual acne I have little pimples & nothing works , I’ve tried it all the only thing that worked for me was birth control
Half Apple cider vinegar and half water. Mix them up and dab a cotton ball and dab your face. Done wonders for my face & i used to struggle really bad. Also if you have witch hazel use that instead of water and it will work great too!!
Unfortunately, there’s not much that will REALLY work during pregnancy since it’s a hormone issue and not a “dirt on the face” issue.
Scrub your face with warm water to open your pores, then when rinsing use cold water to close them and do it 2xs a day
Only thing that worked for my acne is African black soap & witch hazel. You’ll have to find a moisturizer that won’t break you out, but YesTo products are good, especially Yes To tomato’s for acne.
& tea tree oil occasionally
Baking soda. I had the worst acne. Nothing worked. I just used plain baking soda with a little water scrubbed it on my face and let it sit about 30 seconds and used coconut oil to moisturize.
Esthetician here yes to apple cider vinegar but you also want to still moisturize… is your acne red/purple and inflamed or more whiteheads?
Shalisi Mormon I second this!! I had ance so bad I almost wondered if I had been bit by a spider or smthn. It was an awful under the skin kind. 3 part water w 1 part apple cider vinegar use a cotton swab and let it dry then morsturized w Aveeno clear complexion and OMG it made a difference!!
I am gonna try this !! I will post back. If this works !!! Because some of us are slightly older and maybe going through some changes in life LoL
Safeguard soap really helps
If your face is naturally oily apple cider or witch hazel- I’d go with witch hazel with rose water(you can buy it on amazon I think the brand is thayers) Bc you can use it postpartum for after birth for healing but be careful it’ll dry out your skin… I like CeraVe moisturizer Bc it’s not greasy
From my previous comment
Works on my teenage face but idk. Honey face mask. Like coat yourself in raw honey forever and rinse it off because it’s anti inflammatory, antibacterial and cleansing and soothing.
