Are you worried about pregnancy acne or dry unbalanced skin during pregnancy?

You've just become pregnant and you feel wonderful, then suddenly you begin to notice acne very similar to when you were a teenager!

This is a very common occurance during pregnancy as your skin struggles to remain balanced.

What exactly causes unbalanced skin and other common skin challenges during pregnancy?

• Pregnancy acne/oily skin - During pregnancy levels of estrogen and progesterone increase dramatically. The increase in progesterone triggers the oil glands of the skin to enlarge and produce more oily substance called sebum. As a result, excessive oil and the shed skin cells lining the hair follicles block the skin pores and make skin susceptible to bacteria. This can lead to inflamed skin and acne outbreak.

• Dry skin - dry skin  can also be a problem during pregnancy as the body requires extra blood and body fluid to sustain a growing baby, and that extra moisture is often drawn from the skin, making it extremely difficult to maintain skin hydration. 

• nonspecific dermatitis- changes in hormones during pregnancy can induce red, flaky patches on the face.

• spider angiomas - due to hormonal changes and possibly weight gain during pregnancy, pressure in the veins increases, causing blood vessels in the face to enlarge, leaving a red, spiderlike mark.

• melasma - clearly defined brown patches on the face typically on the cheekbones and forehead, caused by an excessive amount of melanin found in certain skin cells as a result of pregnancy hormones.
