Since I got prennat with my son Adam I been having problem with my acne. Ive try a lot of thing already but It seem like it doesnt go away. It's very irritating and frustrating. I did some reaseach and I found out some interesting things bout my acne. Since i was using a IUD it said that my acne can be cause by it. I was thinking of calling my Ob and maybe I just go back using pills. I also found a very interesting articles from Parenting magazine..
Start over-the-counter. Try products with salicylic acid (which removes the dead cells in clogged pores) or benzoyl peroxide (which kills the bacteria that cause acne). If your skin is naturally dry, get a lotion with either 1 percent salicylic acid or 2.5 to 5 percent benzoyl peroxide; if it's oily, pick a gel with between 5 and 10 percent benzoyl peroxide, or try Clearasil Adult Acne Treatment Cream, which contains exfoliating agents like the ones used in professional chemical peels to get rid of dead skin cells.
Baby your skin. Use a gentle noncomedogenic moisturizer, like Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion, to counter the drying effects of pimple meds.
Don't overwash. Dirt doesn't cause zits, so cleaning your face more than once or twice a day won't help, and may even irritate your skin.
Try to get some rest. Sleep strengthens the immune system.
Get a prescription. If your zits won't quit, consider a stronger topical treatment, or an oral one. Hormonal birth control can help, too, so you may want to go back on the Pill. If you're trying to get pregnant again, keep in mind that most oral prescription acne drugs aren't recommended then; talk to your doctor about safe alternatives.
