Tips For Acne While Pregnant

Tips For Acne While Pregnant (And Non-Pregnant!)

• Don’t pick, scratch or pop acne.
• Try natural solutions first, like zinc, vitamin C, coconut oil, probiotics and diet modification
• Don’t go crazy over-washing your face or using harsh soaps. Stripping your skin of oil will only make it produce more, and you could end up with dry or irritated skin too.
• Avoid wearing make-up where you can. If you must, avoid clogging, oil-based make-up (opt for water based instead) and ensure you wash it off each day – or as soon as you no longer need to be ‘made-up’
• When washing your face, don’t scrub it or it may become more angry
• Keep your diet in check to reduce and flush out toxins.
•  Cut back foods that contain bad fats, refined sugar (and anything with artificial sweetener) and processed wheat products – white flour, white bread, cake etc.
•  Don’t forget to eat your greens to keep your system clean and healthy – for you and your baby
• Check with your midwife or doctor before using any medicated acne products as a last resort.
