Mommies to be check in

Lisa that sucks, but Chipotle sounds yummy! If it wasn't raining cats and dogs here I might head over to chipotle but I don't want to leave the house or I might be taken to Oz with this weather.

Question! What are you guys cleansing your face with?

 

I had to switch from Clinique (which I loved) to Oil of Olay because it was the only one I could find in a hurry with sacylic acid.

 

What do you use?

[Christine]

hmm I use Orgins and Aveeno

[Martha]

I used Orgins years ago but it just didn't work for me....My skin is usper oily and it just didn't work.

 

 

I have also tried Aveeno and that was worse.

 

I hate having bad skin to begin with.

good ol' soap and water - whatever i have on hand. right now it's whatever the hotel provides, but i think we typically use Dove soap at home. i'm so bad - i never wash my face, other than in the shower and all i use is the same bar of soap i use for my body.

I was using CeraVe before I got pregnant and loved it (still have the face lotion) but I ran out and got something else that I don't love (can't even remember what it is). I also have neutrogena in the shower but I've heard great things about Cetaphil and will try this next. I've never had great skin but my 1st trimester I was like a grease pit! Hair and face..my forehead was continually full of bumps! 2nd trimester has been much better. The oil has gone away and I just have the random blemishes that I had before.

 

I found this online:

 

Use gentle soapless cleansers, such as Cetaphil Cleanser, twice daily and resist the urge to scrub or use astringents frequently. These will merely irritate your sensitive skin. Use non-comedogenic facial moisturizers, such as Neutrogena Facial Moisture. If your inflammatory acne persists, your dermatologist can prescribe topical medications that may be safely used during pregnancy.

 

I'm going to try Aveeno Positively Radiant 30 spf Daily moisturizer during the summer. I already have skin discoloration and the sun only makes it worse.. especially while you're pregnant.

I'm still using ProActive. Not sure if there is something in there that is bad, but it has always worked great for me, so I would rather not change.

I use to use Clinique until it seemed like I always had a breakout of some kind on my face and it sucked!

[Martha]

I need to see if Cetaphil has sacylic acid in it! Thanks!

 

I think it's spelled salicylic acid....I always spell it wrong! I should probably Google just to make sure!

I know that has sacylic acid in it, I would not be using that if I were you.
