Downy hair and acne :-(

Has anyone else had these horrible symptoms? Started at 5 weeks, eased off and now back with a vengeance at 9 weeks! At my wits end- had my Entire face threaded and now massive painful cystic acne on my neck which make up won't cover. This isn't just vanity- it is really painful, plus I feel like a Yeti with the downy hair and it's growing back fast! On plus side- no morning sickness! Any advice to manage it would be most welcome!

I'm 10 weeks 2 days and my acne us finally getting under control. I've never had problems until I got pregnant. But my face broke out bad and its been SUPER dry. Like almost flaky in spots. So I have to put lotion on it...but then break out again. Just try washing your face with a washcloth and don't wear makeup if you don't have to go out that day

I got bad acne with my first baby and discovered that baby wash was the only thing that helped.. now I'm pregnant with my 4th and my skin is clear.. maybe it'll work for you too! :)
