Acne? SOS!!

Lindsay • 28 🌈🌈💖 due 10/31/21!

I don’t know if it’s specifically caused by my IUD, but lately, my skin has been HORRIBLE. My diet hasn’t changed at all, so it’s definitely not from that... I had my IUD inserted about 6 weeks ago, and I know a lot of people have experienced breakouts after insertion... but I’ve never had a breakout this bad. Ever. I was on the mini-pill before, so no estrogen to help with acne...

Other possible answers could be that I just finished a seasonal job at a haunted house, so maybe the makeup? I also recently got new foundation, but it’s the same brand as the old one I was using for years...

Obviously, I’ll probably never know where it came from, but remedies? Tips? Things to try? Any advice is appreciated!! (Planning an engagement photoshoot in the next few weeks, so I’d really like this to clear up... literally!)

EDIT: AF just showed up... going to blame this on her. For now. 😂
