Spots!!

[silvachick]

My face is absolutely covered in them. Never before have I ever had so many not even as a teenager or TOM. When oh when will I start blooming??

lol. I turned into a teenager too. Spotty skin and dandruff for me- v glamourous! It eased up for me at around 20 weeks. I missed the 'blooming' stage too- the only 'glowing' i've done is a tinge of green :)

Hehe jennie tell me about it. On one plus point my hair isn't getting greasy as quick. Small mercies lol

I'm the same- my hair can go 3 days without washing rather than the usual every other day- weird! I had that with my 1st pregnancy too.

My skin's been awful too, in fact it's just started to clear up in the past week or so (I'm 23w now). And last pregnancy it got worse again at around 30w - awful dry/spotty patches round my mouth; moisturising made it spottier, washing more often made it drier - so that's about an 8 week window where I might not look too bad. Blooming? Pfft.

Ugh I had this. Really bad acne all over my chin and lower jaw. It's only just clearing up now, am 22 weeks pg. I used aloe Vera facial wash from the body shop and just recently using plain old e45 cream to moisturise. I've noticed a real improvement since I started doing this. Good luck, I know how horrible it is but it does get better!

Me too! Vile acne on chin, jawline and neck. Also back and chest. And noticing a few more on my cheekbones now. I'm 8+6 and hoping this is as bad as it'll get... Actually went to GP last week to beg for something to put on it because it feels like the bacteria are just having a big old party on my face, and got Zineryt - a topical antibiotic that's safe to use in pregnancy (GP checked with 3 other docs before prescribing it to me). Fingers crossed it starts working soon!

I used some tea tree oil. I then was getting conflicting reports online whether it was ok to use in pregnancy. Decided to err on the side of caution and give it a miss. So still pizza face lol
