Yeah I had gross skin for a little while too and felt ripped off! Exactly as you said - where's my lovely glow??!!

I actually got a lot of pimples on my back, really big red ones that were just impossible to hide in summer, but they faded on their own and fairly early into the second trimester they were all gone. I just made sure I washed my back well in the shower so my skin wasn't oily but in the end they just went by themselves.

The skin on my face gets quite dry and red during pregnancy and I even peel a little bit... and unfortunately this lasts my whole pregnancy! Yuck!

Hope it goes away for you quickly.
