Ugh acne is back?!
I was so happy when it went away after the first trimester, but now I'm 32 weeks and it's everywhere! :-( I've never had acne before I was pregnant so this is a little traumatic for me lol I've been trying every facial wash and cleanser and nothing is working!

This is what I do (it also helped with my cystic acne)
1) get a rag as hot and I mean as hot as you can stand it without burning yourself. Place the rag on the affected areas and just let it sit there. Repeat this three to four times. The heat opens your pours and helps draw out the dirt and oil.
2) take the soap, lather your face and gently work it in
3) rinse off all soap with warm water
4) take a rag and get it cold and do what you did with step 1 but with cold water to close the pours.
5) use acne friendly moisterizer
Your face will be red but that fades within 15 20 minutes (its from the heat)
If you use products be careful with what you use, mixing products can give you the opposite affect because the chemicals that are used some can't be used together. So if you do use more than one item make sure they are the same brand.
I found that less is more. Also it doesn't matter what kind of soap I used a dove sensative skin one
