dry skin with breakouts

s a boy) This time it is even worse, with the top half of my face being constantly dry with flaky skin, and from my nose down (including my jawline) surrounding my mouth I am covered in spots!! I do remember that my skin got better though, so I am hoping that it all starts to clear up soon..

And i believe its because of all the hormonal changes that us pregnant women go through that causes all the dry skin and breakouts...

ladies I've seen a lot of you posting on here asking for remedy a for dry skin, I've also done it myself lol. We all know that pregnancy is not very nice to us and one problem happens to be unattractive flaky dry skin that I could not get rid of! Well I have found a solution, and I thought I would share with you all hopefully it works for you too! Baby oil! ( ironic, isn't it? ) I used it two days in a row and honestly my skin could not look or feel better.

With my sons pregnancy my face was fabulous, no break outs & it was glowed. Now with this pregnancy I have break outs & my skin is super dry& flakey. I was using proactive to help with my breakouts it was working so good until my doc told me to stop. -__- now I find myself in the mirror all the time tryna get at the blackheads, I can't help it. Also its some on my chest which is the first time in my life and im 21.

I use aloe Vera gel whenever my skin starts feeling dry, and oddly enough, I think its been helping with any breakouts, but then again, that could be the prenatals. Other than feeling like a whale, I feel so pretty because my skin is so clear, and I'be always had acne, it runs in my family.

I dont know if that could help but it might. Also with really dry skin you may want to cut down on the soaps and cleansers you apply to your face because that could just irritate it more. i would just rinse your face with leukwarm water and let your natural oils take over for a bit.

Anyone else have/had problems with dry skin/acne? Before my pregnancy i never had acne breakouts and my face has become dry and flaky. Any suggestions on helping it?

Hey ladies, anyone else experiencing breakouts etc toward the end? I have bad patches of dry skin and other areas broke out :( So frustrating that this 'pregnancy glow' seems to have skipped me!

The skin wants to be hydrated and balanced, and too much of any treatment can dry the skin and trigger more oil production. The key is simplicity. Wash once in the morning with a gentle cleanser and apply an oil-free moisturizer, no matter what your skin type. Always use oil-free, gentle makeup. Cleanse again at night, and apply a thin layer of treatment if needed. Pure Aloe vera gel is great for all skin conditions, acne included.

I already had oily skin, it got 10x wworst being pregnant. Still have the super oily skin but the breakouts are back yet to normal.

Like every pore in my body is filled with filth. The skin on my face seems to be textbook combination skin with dry sides and oily T-zone. I've never had this evaluated by a professional. though. Do you guys know what normally causes these random breakouts? And what products I should use? And what I figured at first that it was related to sweat since the weather just got hot here in Sweden, but I'm pretty sure the breakouts started before that.

Ok another question. Since my skin is very dry and flaky, i wanted to add a step to my morning regimen. I got some samples from the dermatologist of something called skin medica hydrating complex. It has hyaluronic acid in the form of a serum. Also, i use clindamycin phosphate lotion to prevent breakouts during the day. If i add this underneath the clindamycin, will it stop the clindamycin from working? Will the serum cause breakouts? It says it is for all skin types.

I was wondering if any of y'all get dry skin and break out where the cheek bones are is it normal or is it just me I'm not sure if it cause of pregnancy or a heat rash?

First, try figure out what you did different to cause the sudden breakouts. I've just finished dealing with the same problem and for me it was from a supplement I was taking called CLA. The oils in it threw my pH off balance and made my skin oilier than usual. Before this I hadn't had a skin issue since middle school. Have you changed anything in your diet? Have you made any changes to your cleansing routine? Cleansing and exfoliating too much can cause breakouts as well.

I normally have oily skin but never really had a problem with acne. My normal skin routine is not preventing the breakouts. Any suggestions??

Yes a lot of people do, I myself being African american, and having naturally dry skin use it because it helps with dryness and breakouts and what not

Where can I get it and how much is it ?

I've been waiting it out. I'm currently past due and have been dealing with blotchy cheeks and nose with small breakouts for months now. I've also got the red bumps on my upper arms. I try to really exfoliate my arms in the shower and wash my face regularly. I read exfoliating your face may irritate and make it worse, which was happening to me. So i just try to constantly gently wash and mosturize. Don't want to dry out from the constant washing.

I recently had a huge one with deep cyst (when i touch it i can feel hardness under the skin)...then it formed a white head and oozed a lot of pus (and some blood) after which it stopped being painful. My question is can I still keep on applying differin gel on top of the acne even though it's "broken" skin? The differin seems to help calm the inflammation pretty quick and dry it out...just this very big one didn't dry out and oozed instead...

In the last month to 6 weeks I have started having extremely dry skin mostly on my face. I've also had some breakouts. (I'm 41, female.) I usually lean more toward diarrhea, but now I am more constipated, very unusual for me. (I have ulcerative colitis also.) I take Remicade infusions every 8 weeks; 50 mg of 6MP daily; and toperal for high blood pressure. My thyroid test last week (TSH) was 2.941. They said the range is .350 to 5.5 so I am in the normal range.

Hello, I'm a seventeen year old guy, and up until a couple months ago, I've been a pescetarian (I eat fish, eggs, and dairy products, but no chicken, beef, etc) for four years. I have never had any problems with acne at all. I'd get a pimple here or there, but nothing very serious. People even used to talk about how clear my skin was.

nope, not just you. these crazy hormones.. no one seems to notice my skin except me. even my fiancé says he doesn't see anything.. but I can see a few bumps here & there on my forehead, chin, and sometimes on or around my temples! "/ I've been using a cream though, seems to be working.. just pick up something to apply every night after your shower!

As soon as I stopped treating, washing my face with only water, my skin cleared. I have been washing my face with only warm water for over a month and have yet to see another breakout. I guess my point is for you to try think of what may have caused the initial breakout after the birth of your son. If it is a vitamin or type of food you've been ingesting, try a week or two without it and see if you have any improvement.

Is anyone else suffering with horrible skin right now? Started happening around 5 weeks. I'm currently 9 weeks along and my face looks like a tragedy. I can't figure out a product(s) I can use to get back to normal. I've already doubled my water intake, and started using a milder face wash. Not seeing any improvement, and now I'm worried about scarring. Advice?

I have been breaking out bad lately i guess its because of the pregnancy, if it happened to some of you ladies what did yall use to get rid of it, i been dealing with it but ughhh its so frustrating i feel so ugly :(
