Hi,
I know this has probably been done before but Ive tried lots so looking for something new to try.. Im 29 and currently 25weeks pregnant, and my skin on my face is normally fine and looks good, but over last few weeks it's gone so bad! I've got wrinkles I've never noticed before, it looks dry and tried, and I'm breaking out like crazy! I honestly look like I've aged 10 years over night 🤣 my go to face creams seem to be making the breakouts worse and foundations aren't sitting properly and are so patchy (never like this before) so basically can anyone recommend any face creams that made you feel refreshed and not like you've had 2hrs sleep 😂also if anyone has any foundations which are just great for coverage on combination skin.. willing to try anything right now I normally do ok in pregnancy but this time seems to be taking it's toll on my face 🥺
Thank youuu 💜

I had the same problem with breakouts in pregnancy! Never had any issues with my skin at all previously so had no idea what to do. Someone recommended the Cerave range and this helped a lot. I would also recommend a vitamin c brightening cream and for foundation I use IT cosmetics CC cream it looks so natural but has amazing coverage so will hide any breakouts. It’s really hydrating to so will combat the dry skin.

Underneath my foundation I've fell down the Bobbi Brown Face Base rabbit hole, it just feels nice. I like the NYX Honey primer and then my holy grail is Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation.

For feeling more refreshed I love Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm, The Inkey List Eye Cream and a decent eye drop. Aldi do a cleansing balm that's a bit minty/ tingling feeling which makes me feel awake too.
