"Pregnancy Glow"

I never understood why people ever called it that lol its just extra oilyyyy skin! My skin is so darn oily now and its so gross! I had some woman telling me I was glowing and I just laughed and said to myself she just called me oily and shiny Lmao.. no matter what I wash my face with it still is oily like 45 minutes after washing it -__+

its not just the oil its ure body in general u have double the amount of blood that causes that glow that ppl are talking abt not the oil. Ive been told by many already that i have that pregnancy glow but i know its not from the oil. I take it as a compliment!

It's natural your body changes in many ways and yes skin can become oily more than normal I use to carry face wipes and whenever I felt gross I'd wipe at night I stayed a way from face creams they made my skin even oiler I used to put a small very small amount of tac on my face and it soon sort my oily skin out you could try it
