Hello ladies, I have experienced 3 miscarriages so planning my 4th pregnancy I'm researching.

I have spot and acne prone skin with a lot of pimples on my neck area..... What does everyone use while pregnant please xx

Honestly, I steer clear of all the things that even the most cautious of bloggers ward you off of: parabens, phthalates, AHAs (except lactic acid), chemical sunscreens etc. I do this just for peace of mind. I do use Pixi glow tonic once a week or so.

Re the pimples, be careful what spot treatment you choose. This website is quite good as she lists the ingredients of lots of brands: www.15minutebeauty.com/pregnancy-safe-makeup.html

However, she's less conservative on the ingreds than some people.

At the moment I'm using Caudalie and Lumene - - both of which are not 'natural' but work quite well for me. I was using Ren, Pai and Weleda - which are more on the natural side. I do recommend Pai and Weleda over Ren, which irritated my skin.
Drunk Elephant have a statement that most of their stuff is pregnancy safe. Always worth checking.

Hope you work out your skin's needs!
