Pregnancy Acne!!!

Pregnancy Acne!!!

Hello ladies!
So I am pregnant with my 2nd baby, and my face, chest and back has been taken over by acne!
Before I was pregnant, I never had anything like this, just the random pimple here and there when I was due for my period, and even with my first pregnancy I had no problems with pimples at all!
I am using dettol sapoderm soap and that seems to work, but only for a few hours! I don't wear makeup or use other facial products.
Is there anything else I can try to help? Or should I just give up and accept that this is just all apart of the pregnancy and it will all go back to normal eventually?
Thank you!

Ahhh Mumma... Im feeling you - im 18 weeks with my first and from about week 7 or 8 - my face (mainly forehead but break outs anywhere), chest, back and arms have been ever so bumpy with face demons!
Ive had a prefectly clear face my whole entire life (even through puberty) and now its bumpier than an old country road!
Ive tried loads of things, nothing is making it better - I think we just gotta ride this one out Mumma... Im confident it will go away after bubs joins us on the outside! xx
