Then, all of a sudden, like weeks 11-14, my face exploded! I had several breakouts around my chin and mouth. And they hurt! Starting around 15 weeks they started to clear up and I haven't noticed any new ones recently (knock on wood) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-7358 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:19:04 +0000 Mrs. Bee 7358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just looked in the mirror and realized that my skin is definitely looking better post baby. hope this stays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-7318 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:56:32 +0000 enjollah 7318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've dealt with acne and extremely oily skin since my early teenage years but now that I'm pregnant, my skin has cleared up and is not oily anymore...in fact, it's been drier around my cheekbones and eyes since the summer time. Not that I'm complaining or anything because a good moisturizer does the trick! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-7298 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:00:55 +0000 Navy_Mommy 7298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dealing with THE WORST skin during my first pregnancy. It's no longer so bad that my face hurts, but my skin is still gross (at 17 weeks). I can only hope that I'll end up with BETTER skin post pregnancy, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5346 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:31:32 +0000 LazyLightning 5346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh, I hope my skin clears up when I am pregnant or after having kids! It's been awful since I was a pre-teen! I'm ready for a positive change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5316 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:57:24 +0000 keiki_mama 5316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin has cleared up since getting pregnant. Beat that Neutrogena! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5313 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:54:37 +0000 katdevargas 5313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had really bad acne since I hit puberty 12.5 years ago, but in my first trimester, my skin really cleared up! the texture even got better &amp; everything - it was heavenly. Now I'm in my second trimester &amp; my skin is getting oilier, so it's not as clear as it was last tri, but it isn't broken out as badly as it always was before the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5297 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:03:01 +0000 sunny-day73 5297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started breaking out really bad around my mouth and chin around 12 weeks, and so far its not letting up. I used to have super clear skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5284 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:49:09 +0000 bykes187 5284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin CLEARED during pregnancy, and it stayed kinda "meh" during the initial breastfeeding/return of fertility period. Now I look like the sad before pictures on Proactiv commercials and I don't know WHY and it's driving me insane. My superficial hope for pregnancy #2 is that my skin will clear again because gosh darn it, people already think I'm a teen mom because I have a young-looking face and the acne is not helping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5258 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:30:12 +0000 yin 5258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin didn't change much during pregnancy, but my occasional break outs did go away. Unfortunately afterwards my skin got super dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5256 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:28:30 +0000 Wondermommy 5256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I had horrible skin, riddled with breakouts with both my pregnancies. Glow, schmo! It did get better post-baby though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5254 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:26:24 +0000 winniebee 5254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin is awful right now (8.5 wks) especially my forehead. I usually have pretty clear skin, but it's been an oil field and my forehead is covered in little zits. It's kind of a nightly joke for my husband to see the new "friends" I made during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5245 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:13:41 +0000 chopsuey 5245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the most radiant skin eveR while I was pregnant. Skin's still nice post baby, but I haven't been very good with skincare.. sometimes I don't moisturize before going to bed or in the am, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5243 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:11:34 +0000 Andrea 5243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the most disgusting skin while pregnant. Break outs galore. It took a while for my skin to get better post baby but it finally has. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5235 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:37:35 +0000 Mrs. Bee 5235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i broke out like a mofo when i was pregnant with charlie. i did with olive, but not nearly as bad. hmmm maybe overall i did stop breaking out post baby though. i'd never really thought about it til now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5233 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:34:56 +0000 DpeachLu 5233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With being sick all the time my complexion is now pale green. Thats the only glow I have - Green :(! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-pregnancy-changed-your-complexion#post-5232 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:33:44 +0000 anewme 5232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone notice a change in their complexion during and after pregnancy?</p> <p>Before getting pregnant I was prone to occasional break outs. While I was pregnant I had very oily skin and a redness around my nose and t-zones. I have to say after having the baby, I noticed an improvement in my skin. </p> <p>Overall, I feel I have a healthier glow and haven't really broken out post-baby. Anyone else notice anything different in their skin? </p>
