Bye Bye Acne: 5 Ways You Can Fight And Prevent Acne During Pregnancy

Acne during pregnancy? Here are five easy tips to help you beat acne once and for all!

Although pregnancy is a wonderful journey full of excitement and joy, it can also bring about physical changes in a woman that may or may not affect her confidence. And one of them is acne – a common worry for many pregnant women.

Why Do Pregnant Women Get Acne?

You see acne is significantly more likely to develop during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. More androgens in particular cause the sebaceous glands to create more oil as a result of the spike in hormone levels.

Because of this, clogged pores and the development of acne may arise from the excess oil mixing with bacteria, dead skin cells, and other substances. Additionally, the skin may appear flushed and any existing imperfections may appear more noticeable during pregnancy due to the increased blood circulation.

Quick Tips to Prevent Acne

While it’s common for pregnant mothers to experience acne during pregnancy, there are steps you can take to minimize them. Here are some quick tips to help prevent acne:

1. Keep your skin clean

Gently cleanse your face twice a day using a mild, pregnancy-safe cleanser. Avoid scrubbing too hard as it can irritate the skin and worsen acne.

2. Moisturize regularly

Hydrated skin is less prone to breakouts. Choose a pregnancy-safe moisturizer that is non-comedogenic and oil-free to keep your skin nourished without clogging pores.

3. Avoid touching your face

We know how hard this one is, Your hands can carry bacteria and dirt, which can transfer to your face and contribute to acne. Resist the urge to touch or pick at your blemishes.

4. Opt for non-comedogenic products

When selecting skincare products, look for non-comedogenic options that won’t clog your pores. This will help to reduce the chances of developing acne.

Maintaining a skincare routine during pregnancy can be overwhelming, especially when many conventional acne treatments are not recommended for expectant mothers. That’s why Mama’s Choice has developed the Acne Serum, a safe and effective solution specially formulated for pregnant women.

The Mama’s Choice Acne Serum is powered by a unique blend of natural ingredients that work together to combat acne while being gentle on your skin.

This serum is enriched with Ecocert-Certified Organic Green Tea and Centella Asiatica that soothe inflammation, redness, and irritation of acne-prone skin. It also has Hyaluronan 11 multi-complex which is a natural moisturizing factor with 11 types of Hyaluronic Acid to help prevent moisture loss!

Mamas Choice Acne Serum Claims

Best of all, this acne serum is clinically proven to reduce inflamed acne in as fast as three days! While some acne treatments dry the skin, this acne serum ensures skin is moisturized. In fact, 99% of women who used this said it moisturized their skin.

Mama’s Choice customers on Shopee have nothing but praise about this innovative new product too! “Napaka ganda ng consistency niya hindi siya malagkit o mabigat sa face. Wala siyang amoy which is safe for preggy and lactating moms talaga," reviewed one user.

To use this powerful serum, all you need is 5 to 6 drops of serum gently massaged on your face until is fully absorbed. And because it is so lightweight, it can even be used as part of your morning skincare routine.
