Try not to use face washes and such, it'll only dry your face out. I've never used this before but my grandma told me to use cumin powder and water mixed into a paste. Put it on your face and allow to dry then wash off. My grandma's skin in absolutely flawless. She used it back when she was young. It's also natural, I know there are certain products we can't use for acne while pregnant.
I however use regular soap, Dove or Olay because they keep my skin hydrated. With a washcloth I gently scrub my face and rinse, repeating one more time. Then I pay dry and put Clean & Clear  Persa Gel on my face. Let it dry and my skin absorb it. My face still usually gets dry because of the weather changing so I use Burt's Bees Res-Q Ointment, it'll moisturizer and it also fades past pimple marks.

Ok I will post it tonight, sorry I missed this last night. I use my stuff every morning and sometimes twice a day but using it twice every day for me is to much for my skin because I have sensitive skin.

For you back try having hubby/bf wash your back for you. I will be moving in with my bf next weekend so he can start helping me with my back. it seems to get better when I have help to wash my back.

I still break out since high school but it got even worse when I got pregnant. My back is terrible to now, of course Id get some on my back at times but nothing I worried about. Now I just wear shirts to cover my back and my Dr. gave me a cream for my face and it seems to help a lot for my face. Try talking to your Dr. or if you want I can tell you what I use later when I get home and you can ask your Dr. for it if you would like?

It is my chin! A little bit on my cheek bones and i.have no idea why but my back and shoulders are really bad too! But thank you so much for that little tip im going to have to try that! And i had no idea that your chin corresponds with your reproductive system!

Where are you breaking out? Your chin is the zone that corresponds with your reproductive system, so it's common to break out there. You can look online to find the other zones and figure out what part of your body is acting up and go from there.
If it's just your chin I'll pass. All I did was use my regular face wash with a little baking soda added in for a deeper clean.
