acne!!

Wow I've never had acne much in my life and now its crazy ridiculous! This is my first pregnancy and I've been told that the hormones take a toll on your face with acne! I wanted to know if any of you ladies are having/had this problem and was there anything you did to somewhat treat it? Omg ill try anything! Lol

My acne was THE WORST until about 28 weeks. Nothing I tried worked :( Closest to perfection I got was putting tea tree oil on blemishes. The bit on my back and chest cleared up for most part. Then at about 33 weeks my face started clearing up with no change in soaps or diet- so we'll see how long it lasts :)

I have this one scrub glove that's white (It really reminds me of Michael Jackson when I put It on, may he r.i.p.) and It's supposed to get all the dead skin cells off and deeply cleanse your face, It makes my skin feel super soft minus the bumps lol and It's been decent. Your Bamboo glove Bri juss made me think of my glove lol. For Cali_Momma It's safe to use, I've been using this Zap It cream throughout my whole pregnancy and my baby Is fine. Here's a link for you to ease your mind. (If It doesn't bleep out) =]

I used clean and clear before I was pregnant (I'm 12 weeks) but I wasn't sure if using those kinds of creams like clean and clear or proactive was safe while pregnant? Lol I freak out about everything I'm a ftm :) but if there's no harm I'm definitely gonna try proactive!! Its horrible!

Everything Ive tried didnt work so I just used Dove soap (the kind for sensitive skin w/ no dyes or scent and is soap free) and used this amazing hand thingy that fits over your hand like a mitt and one side has bamboo and the other is VERY soft. I used the bamboo side for my face and did it before bedtime and when I got up in the morning. It helped some but gradually the acne stopped on its own.
