Any tips on how to deal with pregnancy acne?

Hi ladies, i'm 41 years old and 5weeks 4 days pregnant. Just wanted to know if anyone has any tips on how to deal with acne during early pregnancy. I don't want to use the over the counter remedies, because of the harmful chemicals in there and that your not supposed to use them during pregnancy. Any tips would be very much appreciated. Thank Ladies Baby dust xxx

This us what I do yo help my skin. 1) I use a tumeric mask..apply it every night but you can apply it every other night. If you want the recipe pm me 2) once I wash the mask off I apply a few drops if rosehip seed oil..leaves my skin smooth and plump. I have combination skin so I am prone to acne anyway but rosehip works for me. Either that or argan oil..its another amazing light oil which doesn't clog your pores.

Try to keep ur face (or whichever part) clean and just wait it out. Its hormonally related and theres not much u can do to balance those out while pregnant. Dont overdo it with the cleaning, this will only increase sebum production and make things worse. If its really bothering u, talk to ur doctor about a solution, but it should get better as u get further along. Good luck! =))

I stopped eating dairy and my acne went away. I wish I would have known that before! I don't even have to use any acne washes because milk was my BIG problem. Sure I get a pimple here and there if I forget to wash my face when I have make-up on! Huge No! No! But yeah, I just cut out dairy and I'm good.

Thank you all so much for your advice. Think i'm going to try a few of your suggestions and see if that works. But i've got a feeling that dakota is right and i'll probably just have to wait it out, it's just on my face and nowhere else luckily enough. This past week i've looked liked a teenager, and its made me a bit stroppy like one too. Oh the joys of pregnancy, knowing my luck i'll probably get hemorrhoids next, ha! Thanks again ladies.
