Arrgghh...pimple outbreak!

While I've been pregnant i've had nice clear skin, and now , literally overnight, i've woken up with little whitehead pimples all over my forehead, sides of my face, and chin. I did use a new apricot scrub i bought 3 days ago, but surely that can't be the cause can it? Or is it a hormonal thing? I just don't know how i could go to bed with clear skin, and wake up like this! Worst thing is, i can't stop picking them.

Id recommend to stop using a scrub since it lets your skin exposed :| what helped me during my outbreak was garnier nutri pure gel cleanser, its minty :) and its oil free <3

I feel ya! My skin used to be acne free and now I'm breakin' out constantly and It s*cks specially on my chin! I heard usin' new products can Irritate the skin and cause you to break out but It can also be pregnancy related too! I've been usin' proactive and It's been helpin' out a lot.
