Pimples - what did you do?

Ok after a whole bunch of ideas on this one ladies.

I had REALLY BAD skin when I was PG with DD and now my face is starting to break out again.
I have a whopper on the side of my chin and another under my eye, one coming up under my nose. I vaguely remember that with DD I was just too worried to use anything on my skin and to top it off my skin is super sensitive to my normal situation would be to use QV products. I developed allergies while PG with daughter so I was often swollen and blotchy with red. I now have that allergy under control (Dust mites) but the pimples are starting up.

I have very few photos of myself PG with my DD simply because i hated how i looked skin wise. This time I wanna take lots of pics so any suggestions on what I can use on my skin to help keep the blemishes at bay, well as much as possible anyway..

Thanks.

Cleansing with Witch hazel morning and night? It is cheap as and does a better job than brand name cleansers.

However, if your spots are hormonal then there may not be a whole lot you can do about it :(

Witch hazel is definitely helpful. A mud mask (containing kaolin clay) is also very good, helps draw out the nasties without irritating.

Toothpaste on it over night works for me to reduce size and inflammation.

I was coming in to ask this exact question. Will give the witch hazel a go. Where can I get it from?

You can get it from most pharmacies and places like priceline, even some supermarkets have it. It comes in a clear bottle or you can get a tub of wipes pre-moistened which can be more convenient.

This. I have eczema and it gets worse when pregnanct so I need to be careful what I use. When pregnant I use to get bad patches but since I started using witch hazel again (used it in my teens, don't know why I stopped) my face gets maybe one small spot every now and then. Well worth giving a try and just wait to see how much dirt comes off your face evernight when you use it, really makes you feel clean.

I was naughty and can't stand pimples... I pop and destroy lol
