What skin cleanser are you using?

This may sound dumb, but since I got pregnant, my skin is all over the place. One week I am broken out all over, the next the acne is gone, but i have dry patches. I am not sure what to use. I am currently using a benzol peroxide cleanser/scrub and a moisterizer. I rarely use make-up during the week.

Any suggestions????
thanks ladies


Love,

Deana

My skin is doing the same thing. Sooo I decided to treat it like teenage skin since thats how its acting, and it seems to be working. I got the Sensitive Skin Clean and Clear Face Wash and Astringent. And then I follow up with Purpose face lotion, its really hydrating and it wont mess with your pores. I have started to see an improvement on my face, my chest however is a whole other story. I never had bad skin before but man its bad now.
Good Luck,
Tammie

I hear ya!

I actually break out more if I use anything with benzol peroxide in it.

Right now my skin is driving me crazy. Not only do I have severe dry patches, I keep breaking out, then when it seems to start to clear up, it starts again.
Not sure if 'some of it' is due to the winter weather though.

I use a portable humidifier beside me at night when I sleep and moisturize as much as possible -- although, that alone is breaking me out.

Frustrating, isn't it?

My Dr also recommends Cetaphil. I've used it on and off for yrs whenever my period came around (I broke out a bit then). Now I use the Serious Skin line for acne and Cetaphil when that doesn't help.

I'm not pg anymore but I use Cetaphil. ABSOLUTELY BEST product I've ever used. I discovered it about 7 or 8 years ago and have never used anything since then. I have very sensitive skin too that used to break out easily...now almost never.
