Skincare tips during pregnancy?

Okay ladies I need help. I’m going on a strike against makeup (aside from mascara and eyebrow powder), because every time I put it on my skin breaks out horribly. I’m expecting a boy too and I was told they make your skin look good! I feel betrayed lol. Any tips on getting rid of acne during pregnancy? What face wash did you use? Use any serums or creams? Before getting pregnant I had a whole skincare process with retinol and other serums, but I obviously do not use them anymore since it’s dangerous for the baby, and they would keep my skin so clear. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I kept the same routine sans retinol and my skin has been fine.

I used Tula face wash and toner (glycolic acid base) and Clinique face wash (also glycolic acid) if I had a breakout, it was mostly on my chin, I would use a small amount of benzoyl peroxide, but not everyday. My doctor told me to stay away from salicylic acid

I’m an esthetician and when I got pregnant my skin chest and butt freaked out on me 😑 I switched my routine as well since I have access to professional products I couldn’t do my peels and retinols. I have acne prone skin that scars easily so I replaced all my retinols products with brightening products, vitamin c, and enzymes. I highly recommend Rhonda Allison Brightening cleanser or Beta Green Tea Cleanser(it contains salicylic I promise you it’s fine unless you have some sort of risk that your doctor says don’t use but it doesn’t thin skin like retinol or affect the body, it literally breaks down oil in the pores) The Rhonda Allison brand overall is a life saver.

Tbh taking callogen everyday has helped my skin SO MUCH! I broke out really bad with my first, and I had to go to a dermatologist for prescriptions. This time around I wanted to be more natural, so I started the callogen daily and I wash with an all natural bark soap. I also hate wearing make up, and I've noticed a huge difference with my skin this pregnancy! I still get a lil pimple every now and then, but I've noticed a dramatic difference tho!

I had terrible outbreaks up until about 26 weeks - hormones! And then a friend recommended CeraVe and fingers crossed it’s worked absolute wonders! I have sensitive skin anyhow but pregnancy hormones have really effected my skin... this has been great for me x

I broke out so bad in the beginning of my pregnancy I couldn’t even touch my face . I use the Kate Somerville daily acne cleanser and it helped a lot. Now I’m just dealing with dry skin but I use rose oil and that helps a lot also with acne.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
