Skin issues

I'm 8 weeks along and I'm breaking out alot. I know it's a hormonal thing but is this there anything I can do or just wait til it stops?

So I broke out on my face and back. My doctor said to you use Dove (Pink Rose) It's very light on perfume and it takes away the oils but moisturizes at the same time... try it.. it takes a little while but it works...

And if your skin gets too dry, aloe Vera gel. Lol sorry it sound like I'm trying to sell that stuff.

Another quick option is hand sanitizer! It kills off the germs and it's cheap!

I use aloe Vera gel whenever my skin starts feeling dry, and oddly enough, I think its been helping with any breakouts, but then again, that could be the prenatals. Other than feeling like a whale, I feel so pretty because my skin is so clear, and I'be always had acne, it runs in my family.

I use an oil free face wash with salicylic acid and I use a topical spot cream with benzoate or whatever it's called. I only put on foundation when I go out now too. I had bad skin before I got pregnant and it got way worse but I'm also more diligent about treating it now so compared to before my skin actually looks better. Just don't slack on taking care of your skin and you can stay ahead of the breakouts
