maybe try tea tree oil. put a few drops on cotton wool and dab over your face and affected area.

Hi Jen!

I had exactly the same problem, arg! I am now 28 weeks pregnant and finally seeing a change for the better!

I stopped using my regular product (RegimA) and started using a Rooibos tea scrub (available at Clicks, P&P etc), and every evening I also make a cup of plain rooibos tea (no milk or sugar), let it soak and then once it's cooled down I wipe my entire face, back and arms with the tea using a piece of cotton wool. I don't put any cream on in the evenings, only in the mornings - that way your skin can dry out overnight, which helps fight the acne. It;s also good for scarring. Sometimes I even wipe my face with the tea in the mornings before I put cream on. Oh, and I also washed my back with the facial scrub in the shower.

I've been doing this for a few weeks and I can really see an improvement now, finally. I also read that it's important to drink a lot of water.

Good luck!

Hi everyone. I need advice please. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and never before had issues with bad skin / acne. This problem started when i found out i'm pregnant and it just wont get better. I have bad skin on my back and specially on my face. It just appears constantly. I use Loreal as a skin care product and try to wear as little makeup as possible.
Do you have any suggestions as to what i can use or what other facial product i can use for this. I'm cluless as i never had this problem before. Please help...
Thank you
