Acne During Pregnancy

Many people believe that they only get acne when they are growing up, as teenagers, but you may be surprised to know that it can also be a feature of pregnancy.

Why does acne re-appear during pregnancy

Most of your pregnancy symptoms are a result of an increase in your hormones. As your hormone levels rise, your pores production of oil increases, leading to oily skin. Oily skin leads to acne acne, spots, pimples or whatever you want to call them.

You may find that those pimples are also on your body.

How can you control your acne while pregnant

Even over-the-counter treatments should be avoided until you have s poken with your GP about which are safe to use during pregnancy.

You can do some things to help keep your face and body acne free. You should wash your face two to three times a day with an oil-free mild cleanser. Many natural skin care products avoid both oil and irritating soaps in their products.

After cleansing, rinse your face. Drink lots of water and avoid poping or picking at your pimples, this will only promote their spreading and may leave acne scars.

After Pregnancy

After pregnancy it may take some time for your skin to return to normal. Women often experience a hormone surge shortly after having a baby. It just takes time for the hormone levels to return to normal.
