Here we are 18w2d and my acne still hasn’t gone away at all! It’s only on my right side! My left is perfectly fine. 😑😑 anyone else still going strong on the hormone train??

Question

Answer

I’ve gotten it on my chest and back, I HATE it so bad

Answer

I know all skin is different and what works for one may not work for others but dropping a comment to see if what works for me may work for you! I struggled with finding the right balance- either my skin was oily or super dried out from the products I was using. I use cerave foaming facial cleaner for normal to oily skin once a day in the shower. Then after my shower I use Nivea soft moisturizing creme (just a few dabs on my cheeks and forehead - a little goes a long way). Then if you wear make up this is what I switched to for foundation.. cover fx total cover cream foundation. They sell it at Sephora. Fun fact: this is the foundation they used on all the Harry Potter actors to prevent them from breaking out when they first started filming bc they were all little, hormonal teenagers lol so I figured if it worked for their hormones it would work for me. 😂😂 but after all these changes, my skin has been sooooo much better. Also, I found I’m really sensitive to biotin so I have to be careful to make sure what shampoo/conditioner I’m buying. I hope this helps you in some way! I know how frustrating it can be. ❤️❤️ best of luck, girlie!

Answer

My first pregnancy I had acne so bad. But after i had my son it all went away. Now that I'm pregnant with my daughter I get ance every so often. Litterly with my son a new one would pop up everyday.

Answer

Do you sleep on your right side?

Answer

I'm 19 weeks and it's finally clearing up.. It's been such a bitch lol

Answer

Yes I got the worst acne & now that I hit 17 weeks it’s slowly started to clear up.

Answer

Ugh yesssss. I’m 17 weeks and mine just got worse around week 16 (face, chest and back). It’s awful! Do you ladies use anything to treat it? I know we have to be so careful what we put on our bodies...

Answer

Mine switches between the sides. One week the right side will be completely broken out and then the left. And then all will be good for maybe a week and start all over again.

Answer

Ugh, yes. I’m sorry that you’re going though this as well. I never had acne until I got pregnant. My face is a war zone.

Answer

I’ve had clear skin for years, but these hormones are something else! My face is ok minus a few zits here and there, but the back of my head, ears, and back are acne city. And they hurt too. I almost thought I was getting shingles again in the back of my head. I’ve been watching my sugar/calorie intake so I don’t think it’s that. But I’m thinking it could also be this hot ass summer heat, in addition to hormones. 🤷🏻‍♀️
