Sleep.
It’s called beauty sleep for a reason. Make sure to get adequate sleep every night to look and feel refreshed in the morning. Besides, you’re going to need that precious rest once the baby is born!
Exercise
Exercise and diet play a significant role in the battle against pregnancy acne. A daily workout increases circulation and blood flow reduces stress and tones the skin. Though you’ll probably have pregnancy cravings for ice cream or junk food, don’t forget to eat fresh fruits and veggies. Rinse all your produce thoroughly to remove herbicides and pesticides that could possibly harm your complexion’s health and the baby.
Hydrate
Drink plenty of water. Your skin needs hydration to help promote that enviable pregnancy glow.
Post-baby blemishes
For many women, breakouts diminish within a few months after pregnancy or after they stop nursing. Unfortunately, those blemishes may leave telltale scars—the last thing you want as a new mom. Look into over-the-counter or prescription lightening creams to fade acne scars, repair hyperpigmentation, and infuse your skin with radiance. Remember to consult your doctor about using any acne medications—whether topical or oral—before, during, and after your pregnancy to make sure they’re safe.
