Any skincare experts out there? Will my skin ever go back to normal!?

Hi!

My skin was pretty good pre-pregnancy, the occasional spot but generally pretty clear. Literally ONE week after conception I had full on acne, it improved a lot into my second trimester. Since having my daughter a year ago I still get a lot of nasty spots on my chin. I've changed my pill twice thinking it may be hormonal but nothing is working. My diet is pretty healthy, I use the same skincare products as I did before my daughter was born. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice?! Will my skin ever go back to how it was?! Thanks x

I had exactly this. About a year ago I started washing my face with Aleppo Soap 40%. It's expensive for a bar of soap but lasts for ever and it doesn't smell like dance face creams but the difference is literally transformative.

I've also got this. Last week I started using a soap by carbon theory after seeing it online and it has started to work. Spots still there a bit but no way near as red now

I had this too. After months of battling with it the only thing that worked was cutting out dairy products. Now my skin is clear again.
