I am almost 10 weeks pregnant and I have the most terrible acne! As in, face, chest and back! I have at least 6-8 big ones over the entire area all the time! I'm not glowing at all!
I have always had troubled skin around the time aunt flow is on her way but it's been so terrible since about 5-6 weeks. It's turned constant now. It's really getting me down also. I'm hoping it will clear up once the second trimester comes through.
My question is has anyone else had a similar situation early in pregnancy? If so when did your skin clear up? If not, is there anything I can do to help it for the moment?
Thank you!!

I had really bad skin during pregnancy, it's not great normally either. For me, my acne was worse because I over cleaned my skin to make up for the oiliness and pimples. Which then made it worse. Once I realised that, I switched to a sensitive skin cleanser, toner and moisturiser which helped it a lot. I used an Arbonne one.
Yes, this was me too. I think the first pregnancy was worse than my second. I have awful photos of me at around 12 weeks, but it must have cleared up by around the 20 week mark. I suspected it was where my hair was brushing against my skin, and washing it every day helped. Bit of a pain with long hair but it was worth it! Good luck xo
Just going through this now... I'm just in my 2nd trimester... And a few pop up ... Just not as bad... The ones on my bum seem to be staying ...
