Oily Skin??

[Beck]

Okay, is anyone else's skin changing with pregnancy?? I've noticed that my face is greasier than a McDonalds spatula ever since I got pregnant! This, of course, results in clogged pores galore, break-outs and oily hair. UGH!

Is anyone else suffering skin changes? Also, any suggestions for face-cleaning products? I got a scrub with sand in it (at least, that's what it feels like!) and it seemed to make me break out even more!

I have had more pimples than when I was a teenager! Used to be, I'd get like one a month. I have had on average, at least two on my face (not including elsewhere on my body) since the day I got pregnant. I am currently battling three, I think I have another one starting, and I know they won't be cleared up by my SIL's wedding next Saturday. Oh well, as my husband keeps reminding me on countless other things, this too shall pass.

Yeah, that's totally how I used to be. I've always had a clear complexion with the occasional pimple, and now my entire forehead looks disgusting because of my oily bangs. Ugh!

For me it is my chin and the crease by my nose. Though, I've had a few on my forehead, and I've NEVER had them there before (let alone in the other odd places I've found them.)

My skin is tempremental, I have some small pimples on my back which I don't normally have, black heads on my nose but then my skin can be dry ah ah.

If my skin gets oily I wash it with hand soap which dries it out. Teatree oil is also fantastic for skin.

Oh, how I wish I had oily skin! I've got the opposite problem: dry skin! My eczema has flared to epidemic proportions! After I take a shower, I normally feel quite dry. I've had to use Petroleum Jelly to moisturize my skin and take topical steroid cream from a dermatologist too.
