Do You Have Acne During Pregnancy?
My boy took out the old album yesterday and we looked at the photos of me being 8 months pregnant with him. I looked fat, actually. LOL! Nonetheless, my skin glowed in radiant. On the other hand, my face was so sensitive when I pregnant with my gal and I had pimples occasionally. I couldn’t use my regular skincare products but to stop all of them and only cleansed my face with a mild facial foam. The lesser skincare products I put on my face, the less likely I had an outbreak.
I did talk to my beautician about my skin condition, and she told me that during pregnancy, the higher level of androgens activates the sebaceous glands in our skin to produce more sebum. Thus, if the extra sebum might combine with dead skin cells and block our pores. It’s a good breeding ground for bacteria and it might lead to acne and inflammation if you don’t cleanse your face well.
Frankly, you don’t need to spend money on any best acne treatment because it’s just a temporary skin condition. Just cleanse your face with a mild cleanser twice a day and if you have any oil free moisturizer that is suitable for your skin, you can use it. I couldn’t find any then so I didn’t put anything on my face during my second pregnancy. Besides that, don’t pop your pimples. I left all the work to my beautician. 
If it’s too serious, talk to a dermatologist. Maybe you will be prescribed with an anti acne cream.
And just remember this, the ache is just going to bother you for 9 months. Enjoy your pregnancy.
