Heey, I am new here but I am facing the worst case of acne ever! I recently gave birth to a baby girl and since I have cystic acne all over both my cheeks and jaw line? Today I went to see the Drem, has anyone else experienced this after pregnancy?

My acne became really bad during pregnancy. i did have little acne before during pms but it was easy to treat with products containing salicyl acid or BP. now its just crasy .
well the first trimester was a nightmare: along with severe sickness came huge painful pimples on my cheeks.I decided to go easy with any type of chemical products and used home remedies. second trimestre went easier and pimples were not as bad. now i’m on my third – i’m getting these small painful pimples on my cheeks and they pretty stubborn, on top of that the spots are turning brown …
i’m kind of afraid to use BP maybe i try to apply it localy.
did anyone use BP during pregnancy and how strong (5%, 10%) u used?

During pregnancy the levels of progesterone are very high and can really aggrevate acne. Im currently 21 weeks pregnant and my acne has really flared up especially on my chin (an area that is a tell tale sign of hormone problems) I think my hormones must be very high in this pregnancy as I have also had hyperemisis gravidarum (extreme pregnancy sickness) – not much fun. My doctor has said that the acne plan is perfectly safe to carry out during out pregnancy so thats good news, however I am experiencing lots of dryness and flaking no matter how much I moisturise.
Fingers crossed it clears up soon

I have found that it helps to keep my makeup and its “tools” super-clean. For example, for my pressed powder, I periodically wipe down the powder with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball. Then, I leave the compact open for a few minutes so it air-dries. I think this cleans the surface of the powder and kills any germs that are growing in there. I also wash my sponges, brushes, etc. with soap and warm water and then let them air dry. I think makeup is fine, as long as you keep your tools and products clean. I follow Dan’s method of gentleness when applying makeup.

I love it! So much great information.
Although that shade of pink makes me feel a little bit ill. I’d just like to see the same green color that was used on the ethnic skin pages.

I’ve been backtracking myself through all the great daily videos I’ve missed over this year – and I totally forgot to keep checking THIS blog! Great new page, Dan! I’ve actually sent a couple of links on it to my sister Have you ever thought on each acne.org page – to have somewhere where you can “send this page to a friend” or something like that? So you can email it to yourself? Just a thought! I just copied and pasted the permalink (URL) which is no problem – but it’s just a thought! Keep up the great work!!!
