Postpartum Acne

Acne SUCKS!

It is literally the worst.

I was fortunate enough to not have acne growing up, yes I would have a pimple here and there but never like full force ya know?

That was until I got pregnant.

FUN FACT: I actually found out I was pregnant because I started getting pimples….

So I broke out like crazy, my forehead my chin and my nose all had pimples. I freaked! I knew instantly that something wasn’t right. I took a pregnancy test and just like that my life changed… like for real not just because of acne.

We were having a BABY!!!

I was so excited (and nervous..) that we were going to have a baby that I ignored the whole acne thing for a bit.

That was until I couldn’t anymore. Most women get that “pregnancy glow” wellllll…. not I. I got that pregnancy acne (is that a thing.. it was to me).

I got to the point where makeup was too much and I just wasn’t feeling it. My last months of being prego were the hottest in the entire year so wearing a face full of makeup just to sweat it off was pretty pointless.

However, with a makeup less face my acne became more noticable. I had lost my self confidence. My body was large, my clothes didn’t fit, and my face was covered in pimples.

Then I had her, my beautiful baby girl.

I thought surely after birth my pimples would just go away, right? (remember I haven’t ever experienced acne to this extent….) Comical I know. Acne disappearing is NOT a thing and little did I know it would be a while until I finally got it under control.

But guys…. I GOT IT UNDER CONTROL!

After seeing a dermatologist, going to an esthetician monthly, and getting put on medication didn’t work I finally found something that works and you don’t need a prescription!

Here is what I use…
