    Thank you for your quick reply ladies.

    Babyluv,

    How do you find your current cleanser? Good or not so good?

    Sally,

    So, does that mean you don't cleanse during pregnancy?

    I use gamophen medicated face soap, you can get it at woollies or the chemist,

    It's cheap as and is good for problem skin, which I have had since fell pregnant with ds. He is nearly two !!!

    I find it really good because it's mild, I have dry sensitive skin that is prone to pimples too.
    I use the cleanser bar which seems to balance the moisture in my skin, it doesn't feel dry and tight and it doesn't feel oily either, just right.
    I then put moogoo around the areas that don't get pimply, mostly my eye area, cheeks and the dry spots either side of my mouth area. I avoid moisturiser on my chin, forehead and nose unless it feels overly dry and I think I need it.
    I used to use a biore cleanser but it was just too harsh, skin has been much better since i've cut out the chemicals and gone more natural. If I get a big pimple though i will apply some benzac to the pimple only over night which dries them out super quick.

    Mokosh Powder Cleanser. It is a wash and a mask. Wash once a day in the morning, in the arvo only if I am having a grotty day or really oily (lol). Mask once a week.

    Best stuff ever I love it, all organic, fair trade, no crap so doesn't agrivate my acne (acute cystic acne).

    If I need to, I use Witch Hazel toner, get it form the supermarket or priceline. Only need it every so often, but will dry up any pimples and clean the oily gross feeling if I am in a hurry or on the go, I keep it in my handbag.

    I use Akin cream cleanser and I have really dry (read cracking psoriasis) skin with patches of oil. I only use it in the morning in the shower but it's lovely.

    In regards to the pimples in preg, I have been a religious cleanser and moisturiser since I was 13, and no matter what I did while pregnant I could not get the pimples under control.
