What type of skin do you have now that your pregnant? Oily, dry, combo??? That is what will determine how to take care of it.

I use an all natural method as well, have been for two years and no break outa...combo of castor oil, vitamin e oil and evening primrose oil...all can be found in the pharmacy section of a walmart. Quarter size amount and rub all over your face, use a warm wash cloth to wipe off the oil, rinse the wash cloth and repeat. Best thing I've ever used. Anything you buy that targets acne is stripping your face from actual oils is needs, so your face fights back by making more and pores get clogged. Defeats the whole purpose.

Acne attacked my face this pregnancy I'm having my second boy and he better come out gorgeous because he stole all my beauty haha. What helps me is using all natural products. In the morning when I shower I have this walnut scrub that I got from an all natural soap store or you can go online to etsy.com and look up soaps and at night I use apple cider vinegar to remove my make up NOT EYE MAKE UP it will burn then I use an oatmeal soap bar to wash my face and its gone down so much. None of the store stuff helped me chemicals mess up my skin now I even have to use frangrance free body wash otherwise my vagina burna

Its a girl!! :) idk lol I have the same problem since I got pregnant too. Wash your face with something gentle n non abrasive no exfoliation or anything. I wipe my fave off with hydrogen peroxide and a wash cloth and then put on lotion. It has helped a ton, I still have a lil acne but its A LOT more manageable. Good luck!
