aarrhhhh i feel like a teenager again!! i have heaps of pimples mainly in my hair, but one whooper one under my nose, its driving me bonkers. anyone else had issues with pimples? i didnt really get them as a teenager either and i assume this is all hormone related

Yup. I've always had bad skin, but during my pregnancies and the hormone fallout after giving birth, my pimples were HORRIBLE.
I ended up going to my GP and asking for some prescription medication for it, I can't recall the name of it but it's like this liquid stuff you sponge onto your face once a day and it worked a charm for me. HTH

my skin's bad atm too

mine went terrible in the first preg... i used dr hauschka products then... but i guess it depends on what type of skin you have etc. if you can, go for a facial and get them to see what's up - not a relaxing one but one with extractions etc.
you could also do some steaming at home, that helps clear pores etc.

There is an awesome Honey and Oat scrub by the body shop. I used it all the way through my pregs because 5 mins after POAS I get a rash of pimples all up the side of my neck and face...

I like it cos it's gentle, smells yum etc but it also contains Zinc which used topically is great for healing.

My skin has gone back fine now all the preg/bf hormones have gone

Shocking hormone related acne here, it is finally settling down 4 months after having DS2. I have found scrubs make mine worse as it just disturbs the infected pores. If it is really bothering you and you can't find any normal products that help then see your doctor. I am not sure what you would use in your hair though, have you tried changing your shampoo and conditioner for oily hair ones?
