Pregnant & skin has gone to shit (help)

I'm 6 weeks pregnant & my skin is a complete disaster. It has gone an attractive grey/yellow colour, with dry patches & actual teenage spots.

When I use my normal exfoliator I get sore red patches, normal moisturiser just looks greasy (but skin still feels dry) & foundation looks like a mask.

Can someone recommend (i) a gentle exfoliator (ii) a relly good moisturiser (don't mind spending a bit of money on this) and a foundation (are the mineral ones ant good?)?

What's good for spots?

i had this and i asked exactly the same question on this exact topic and i'm afraid the answer was "Not being pregnant."

i spent a fortune on exfoliators, moisturisers and toners and none of it made a jot of difference. the good news is that the day after i gave birth it settled down and went back to normal.

sorry.

This happened to a friend of mine. With her second and third prgs, I knw she was pg before she told me. Concealer??????????!

But seriously, I would use clinique exfoliator, it's really good, and Tea tree oil facial wash and tea tree oil moisturiser for teenage skin.
