ARGH!

Howdy folks
My skin is driving me nutz! I usually have fab skin (lol) but recently its just gone haywire! I am an olay girl but am thinking I will have to change, any suggestions ladies?

thanx

Don't worry guys, that is pretty normal in pregnancy, all those darn hormones!! I was zitty as at the start and later on I got beautiful healthy skin. I usually have really sensitive skin and need expensive moisturiser but when I was pregnant I just used really cheap Nivea stuff from the supermarket and it was enough! gone back to normal now that bub is here unfortunately...

Hmm ladies ....I broke out in acne just after I got pregnant and look horrible! I always had clear skin and now.....

I spoke to the doctor and there is nothing they can do while I am pregnant.....so I just have to ugly for another 3+ weeks.

Hope that DOES mean he loves himself already!! Thats pretty early for such a big smile - lucky mummy!

i was the same - oil of olay and then all hell breaks lose.

I've been using the manuka something cream from living nature from the chemist - a little goes a long way and very affordable cost wise. I bought one small bottle for 20$ and have been using it for at least 2 months.

Aslo that LOreal microdebrasion stuff is awesome - I've used it at least 6 times and the difference is incredible.

Take some time out now to care for your skin cause soon...you'll be so busy with little one!

My favourite peice of advice to pregnant friends is one week before your due date book youself in for a facial and haircut if you can afford it - so when the baby comes and the photos are taken you look and (possibly)feel great!!! I wish I'd done it and have promised myself this time I will. I often give friends gift vouchers for facials at baby showers - you get so much stuff for baby but nothing for Mama!!!

hmm I know.....I got clothing vouchers and a aromatic bath set for me to use and relax....yet to use it!!! But I have decide I will soon.

We are having a house warming BBQ on the 15th....I know I am nuts!

But I want to get it over and done with before bub gets here.....

Yah well my friends all say that they will be ready to go to the hospital......just in case the baby decides to come early (I will be nearly 38 weeks)....LOL

My skin had been really nice since being pregnant and now going back on the pill it has turned to crap again.
Hopefully my hormones will settle down soon. I hate having bad skin.

Change of seasons might be affecting skin too???

Have any of you tried St Ives? I love it and swear by it, they have facial scrubs that i use every morning.. you can get normal, gentle and medicated(for acne prone skin) i use their body scrub and washes, and also thei moisturisers too - mmmmm cucumber and melon.. you go out smelling good enough to eat! and it has worked wonders on my skin. everything else i tried before that made my skin worse... but since using that my skin has been great! then i just follow with a little clean & clear moisturiser... simple cheap stuff,

also if you are a make-up girl... full face makeup when you are preggy tends to clog your pores easier.. so maybe lay off the liquid foundation and try a light dusting of powder instead?   the best thing about finding a quick simple make-up routine now is that it won't take you forever to get ready once baby is here... 5 mins for me and i'm out the door... i think i even learnt to put it on one handed with baby in the other.

I use clean and clear moist.....and I like it. It always took me 5 min to put my make up on....I dont like too much make up any way!

I just cant walk out of the house with out my eyeliner....

I never use lipstick...unless I am going to a party...even then some times I forget!!! LOL....
