Avatar f tn Is anyone else having extra oily skin ?
Avatar f tn I have oily skin too. I use natural, sensitive skin soaps in the morning every day. Hemp based soaps are ideal. Pregnancy still gives me a few little ones here and there but otherwise my skin stays clear.
Avatar f tn Treating acne during pregnancy can be a little tricky. It is considered best to avoid chemical treatment at this stage. There are a couple of home remedies that you could follow. 1. Drink lots of water, keep you'd body hydrated and cool 2. Drink fresh tender coconut water if available 3. Apply lemon juice on your acne. It has been tried and tested. All the best on your pregnancy !

Avatar f tn Authentic African Black soap has worked wonders along with coconut oil for a moisturizer. Thinking about whither hazel for a toner. And I'm hoping this is a girl because I don't remember felling this ugly with my son.
Avatar m tn It can be caused by heredity, diet, hormone levels, pregnancy, birth control pills and hot and humid weather. Oily skin needs special cleansing with plenty of hot water and soap to prevent the pores from being clogged. Avoid harsh products that strip your skin of oil and encourage flakiness. They can cause a reaction known as reactive seborrhoea, where the oil glands work overtime to compensate for the loss of natural oils.
5931867 tn?1397526593 I bought a new foundation and I hope it covers most of my acne but anyways has anyone experience breaking out so much early in pregnancy. I have oily skin but I never broke out so much like maybe a pimple here and there but now I have a lot of tiny bumps(mostly on forehead), dark spots all around but mostly in cheek area. If anybody had bad acne during pregnancy what facial cleaner you used that cleared up your skin.
Avatar f tn So i was using proactive plus bedore i knew i was pregnant once i found out i stopped. My skin was looking really good now that its been a couple of months my skin is starting to get oily and ugh breakouts... has anybidy used it during pregnancy or any other acne treatment?

903040 tn?1285810947 Can anyone PLEASE recommend acne products that are safe to use during pregnancy. I had mild acne prior to becoming pregnant but it has esculated to an uncontrollable level now. PLEASE HELP.
1041303 tn?1421387341 Our hair and oil in our hair changes dramatically in pregnancy. Some women get oily hair others get dry skin including on their scalps. Switch to a mild shampoo (even a baby one will work well) and it will ease the scalp from drying out and itching. I get eczema in my scalp and have always had to use a mild shampoo to stop me itching. You might have to wash your hair twice a day to begin with.
6706619 tn?1391316843 Ever since pregnancy my skin has gone crazy, I tried better make-up (improved a bit) but my skin is still oily without it. It wasnt this bad til I hit this last trimester =;( ugh I'm 29weeks Saturday.
304970 tn?1331425994 I'm sorry you're having such a hard time w/acne. I suffered from severe acne from age 16-19 and it was really difficult. I still get bad breakouts at 25 and, now that I'm pregnant, things aren't any better! I can tell you a few tips that I used back in the day, and that I use now: - Always use a clean towel to pat (don't rub) your face dry after washing. I keep a stack of clean washcloths on the counter just for drying and use a new one every night.
Avatar f tn Yeah.. every skin is different... I'm dry skin.. && i use neutrogenas pink grapfruit... then after I washe'd my face i will use sea breeze sensitive skin astringent with a cotton ball... put it all over my face && neck... then a face lotion because I'm dry skin.. but of your skin is oily i guess you can skip to moisturizer in the end.. (: good luck!
Avatar f tn Has anyone heard any about this condition? Final note, my skin is very oily. At times my forehead will actually look like I’m sweating but in fact it’s oil!
Avatar f tn It can. I have heard both spectrums. Really oily skin or really dry skin. Get a good moisturizer.
Avatar f tn Yes my face broke out during the beginning of my pregnancy and my Dave didn't clear up until I was 28-30weeks it was horrible
Avatar f tn If you run your fingers through your hair often during the day you get oils out of your skin and can make your hair oily.
Avatar f tn Natural witch hazel works great on oily skin! You can buy the wipes or solution. You just put it on a cotton ball or wipe and apply to face. Its natural and helps with acne too.. I'm 25 weeks and I'm starting to get really oily skin and hair too.
Avatar n tn Sea breeze is ok to use. It drys your skin out so if you have oily sine to begin with it works wonders!
