Im pregnant and have been keeping my skin clear the treatment I'm using my dermatolgist prescribed but now its not only not working but I'm not supposed to use anything with salicylic acid in it. My question is even though my hormones are still a little wack what are you guys/girls face all natural skincare products?

Hi Nykia!

I posted something about an all natural skin routine awhile back and it's gotten a lot of response. If you search "Oh My, Lemons and Blackheads!" it should come up.

Although it's aimed towards clearing blackheads, it should help you out tremendously. Also, Bert's Bees has some all natural facial scrubs that are great for preggo skin!

Hey Nykia H. I am 7 months pregnant and I have a set of twins also and my skin was horrible with that and this pregnancy and yes while u are pregnant ur hormones are going to be out of wack the best type of facial skin care is honestly to be very minimal even with products such as bert's bees and espcially organic lines alot of time we get so caught up in the word organic that we dont realize that while we are using natural products they have not been tested on skin such as ours that is full of alot of raging estrogen and other hormones that we get when pregnant these products are for normal to oily and combo skin without the hcg hormone added I onnly caution u due to the fact that I just treated a pregnant woman that was 6 months pregnant and using some organoic stuff that she got online and it caused her to have hives all over and after your first trimester its safe to use products that have a small amount of sal acid in them I wouldnt do anything over 2% though and safe things to use to help dry out any active acne is witch hazel or plain old alcohol wipes and just making sure u cleanse your face twice daily always helps but honestly its just one of the joys of being pregnant not to much u can do till baby comes :-)

My friend was pregnant last year and had trouble with acne and also her hair down under even after laser removal cause her hormones were going physco haha. I agree with Joi, stay organic and steer clear of anything with chemicals. I think Kandee Johnson does a video of her face washing routine when she was pregnant, hope this helps :)
