Skin help??

Question

I have always had fairly dry skin and an occassional break out but since becoming pregnant my skin on my face is flaking and I have about three blemishes at a time. And advice on a new cleanser and moisturizer to try out? My regular routine is not cutting it!!!

Answer

You guys rock!

Answer

I use Ole Henrikson nightcream in the orange container.  It's safe for pregnancy and contains glycolic and Lactic acid which I feel like helps my hormonal breakouts. But man that stuff will cure any dry skin.

Answer

I use BioOil for my tummy to eliminate stretch marks from forming and for my face for scar removal, acne control and moisturizer.

Answer

Have you used cetaphil as a cleanser before? It's very gentle and works well. As far as a moisturizer goes, coconut oil is good but on your face it can clog your pores. You could try some other natural oils though-- I've been using marula oil lately and really like it (I have always had pretty dry skin too). I use this under my regular moisturizer. The brand Acure has marula oil and argan oil that are both very nice. A little goes a long way.

Answer

My doctor who also has a skin clinic suggested coconut oil!

Answer

I really think it's the hormones. I've done what I can with switching to skin care for sensitive. But it doesn't help when I don't put it on. Once I'm off it. Back to dry flaky skin. I'm breaking out as well, and as much water and moisturizer I intake...it still comes and goes and then comes again. Haha. I'm sure it will get better once baby is out. I'm just sticking to more intake on water.
