Hi ladies!

Recently found out am pg with my first and according to dates i'm around 7 weeks and omg my skin has just this week erupted in horrible red spots, mainly just on my chin (no where else on my face currently) and am assuming this in down to hormones😣

Is anyone else suffering and do you have an recommendations of products to use that have helped ?!

Thanks so much! X

I am also enjoying this wonderful symptom on and off. It really is rotten to feel like a spotty teen again! I have found one product extremely helpful while all others have made my skin very sore.

Sainsbury's own vitamin (a c and e I think?) face scrub. It is in a green and white tube and is NOT the face wash, it is the scrub. I feel this makes me have fewer breakouts and that they last for a shorter time. I find that when I get those lovely chin spots it is because I haven't used the scrub in a while.

Hope it helps. It certainly takes the edge off for me.

I had the same issue. Be careful with some skincare ingredients and check if they’re safe to use in pregnancy before you buy any stuff.
When my skin is out of balance due to hormones, I treat it with kindness as agressive anti acne products rarely work in these circumstances. Plain soap without additives, a light serum or cream for sensitive skin and try to avoid wearing foundation or powder if you can would be my advice.
