JACKIE SILVER: I'm Jackie Silver with how to treat acne during pregnancy. Pregnancy can be a time of great joy, but the hormonal changes can wreak havoc on your complexion, causing uneven pigmentation and even acne. Many women are unsure of safe ways to treat their skin during pregnancy, and of course, the best solution is to check with your doctor before using any products. Some women find that they don't even need to treat acne because it tends to clear up on its own later in the pregnancy. If you already suffered from acne before becoming pregnant, you maybe happy to learn that some people experienced clearer skin in the second and third trimesters of their pregnancies because of the increased level of estrogen. Certainly, using hot compresses with plain water is completely safe during pregnancy as our certain herbal treatments, which you can find at your local health food store. Just because it says herbal or natural on the label doesn't mean it's necessarily safe. So write down a list of the products you intend to try and take it with you to your next pre-natal appointment. Your doctor will know whether it's safe to use. Any type of oral supplements or medications should be avoided during pregnancy unless, otherwise, prescribed by your physician. Remember, if you suffer from acne during pregnancy, it's important to check with your doctor before using any products to treat it. Also, remember that it will probably clear up on its own later.
