The only thing that worked for me were facials. Every 4 weeks from 12 weeks on. My skin finally got back to normal within 2 facials but upkeep was critical. I also use Eminence products. It's an organic line that works well. You can buy the products on Amazon for pretty reasonably well priced! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106757 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 21:23:45 +0000 lulibee 2106757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say if you don't want to buy too much or do too much, maybe get a good facial scrub. Do that twice a week.<br /> Plus, get a good moisturizer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106704 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:50:17 +0000 macintosh 2106704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything I use is from Lush. I don't work there anymore, but I used to.</p> <p>For oily skin and breakouts I would do the following:<br /> Ultrabland - once daily - creamy, gentle oil-based cleanser, great for unclogging pores and removing makeup<br /> Herbalism - daily in the shower - gentle scrub with antibacterial herbs<br /> Tea Tree Toner - controls oil, tightens pores<br /> Vanishing Cream or Enzymion - light moisturizer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106698 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:42:51 +0000 Turd Ferguson 2106698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had AWFUL skin during pregnancy...and fir a few months after. Honestly, nothing helped. At all. I don't even plan on wasting my time on the next go-around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106677 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:32:12 +0000 Mrs. Detour 2106677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I the oily pimples/dry skin combo. La Roche-Posay's Effaclar Duo cleared it up for me and didn't contain anything my OB objected to. Weleda's Skin Food is a $12 fix for flaking combo skin. It feels oily at first, but absorbs quickly. I'd be lost without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106621 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:07:30 +0000 petunia354 2106621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that through out my pregnancy and unfortunately nothing helped. It got worse as my pregnancy you went on and I tried everything possible.... I chalked it up to hormones, not much you can do about those!! It cleared up slowly after delivery, within the first couple of months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106618 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:05:20 +0000 zarzar 2106618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had acne pop up out of nowhere in the first trimester along my hairline. I made sure to wash thoroughly and gently and moisturized afterwards. Now that I'm at twelve weeks, that phase has passed and I'm just waiting for the marks to fade away. Time will heal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106602 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:56:50 +0000 Rockies11 2106602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have super sensitive skin, so I just kept washing with cetaphyl and moisturing. I have had terrible skin on one side of my face and chin this whole pregnancy. I invested in some good lightweight make-up to cover it up, and am praying it goes away post-delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106580 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:48:22 +0000 blackbird 2106580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What helped my cystic pimples were the Renee rouleau anti cyst treatment. Mild exfoliation and a good moisturizer. Sometimes I even use vitamin e or aquaphor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106572 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:45:50 +0000 wrkbrk 2106572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: Me me!! I was going to start a thread myself actually on this same topic. Now, I would think I am imagining it since I am literally 4 weeks today - but the ONLY symptom/indication of anything happening at all is my face. And NOT in a good way. That being said, I'll take oily skin over MS and other terrible pregnancy signs!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/terrible-skin-during-pregnancy#post-2106514 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 19:19:28 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2106514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skincare routine is non-existent. My face, now that I'm pregnant, is covered in large, deep pimples and is dull, oily, and pretty flaky. </p> <p>I really need some help; what should I use? I don't want to spend a fortune, but am willing to shell out a little if it will help. </p>
