Acne and Pregnancy

I have a huge zit on my chin. I hate it! I sooo hate it. Probably due to the pregnancy hormonal changes. Lagi-lagi dengan mr husband yang suka teasing on my zits. Pedengki dia tu!

"If you do start breaking out, or break out worse than before, it’s because of an increasing level of hormones in your body. Androgenic hormones like progesterone stimulate your oil glands to produce more oil, which leads to more acne.
The second reason is because of changes in hydration in your body. If you don’t drink enough water, the hormone secretions will remain undiluted and will not pass through the body as quickly."

Yang part kurang minum air tu betul. Selalu banyak minum air kat ofis je. Balik rumah rasanya minum setengah cawan or minum any kind of air manis. Should change that bad attitude.

"As your pregnancy progresses, your acne typically improves, possibly because of higher levels of estrogen. After the first trimester, progesterone is produced by the placenta instead of the ovaries.
For some women, their skin can return to normal a couple months after they give birth. For others, however, the breakouts can return after they’ve had their baby because of a sudden decline in the production of estrogen. Sometimes their acne will disappear after a few months, and in other cases, it may not. Everyone is different. "

Matilah saya kalau dia tak nak dissapear. Hari-hari tahan jiwa sebab stress tengok cermin. Dan lebih banyak zits, lagi banyak nak kena touch up. Cepat lah habis bedak macam ni... ;p

"You should seek a dermatologist’s help before you consider buying any acne treatment, since your acne at this time is due to hormonal changes.
Although you might be desperate about your skin condition, be extra careful at this time about any creams, medications, or treatments. Herbal remedies, although often promoted as natural treatments, may contain ingredients that could affect you. Even over the counter pimple treatments are drugs that should be discussed with your doctor first."

Memang pun I am thinking of switching beauty products. As if the Kose range that I am using now tak memberi kesan pun sekarang. Terasa macam nak cuba Clinique. But what if it gets worse... Tak rugi duhet tu???

or nak pakai balik Oxy cleanser macam dulu... At least kalau tak sesuai, cleanser tak sampai Rm10 boleh dimaafkan lagi...
