Please help me with my tired, dull, spotty skin

What can I do to make my skin look better?
I'm pregnant at the moment and am getting lots of spots. I'm not eating too much crap and my skin looks awful.

I have normal skin (well not dry and not greasy)

Probably not too much until you've had the baby and can look forward to "glowing!"

Are you drinking enough water and getting enough sleep?

Have you tried a lightly tinted moisturiser or a BB cream and a subtle blusher (Dandelion by Benefit is my favourite).

Bit basic I'm afraid but all I can think of without suggesting expensive facials. Oh no actually - have you tried aspirin facial? Dissolve the tablet, spread on face, wash off for glowing skin!

But I have no idea if that's OK to do when pregnant so possibly check this out before slathering on!

while you're waiting to feel better l'oreal BB cream - cheap and effective

I'm not sure an aspirin facepack is a good plan when you're pregnant. I would have advised one otherwise.

Can you afford a facial? Otherwise, I would just accept that you don't look your best whilst pregnant and sit it out. I am a past master at this, having twice been a huge spotty whale with dark circles. I'm every bit as gorgeous as I ever was now...

Thanks everyone.
The aspirin facepack sounds really good. I've never heard of that before. I'll do that after the baby is born.

I'll check out the bb cream too.

I can afford a facial. I suppose I need one so will try to book one in.
