Whoever said pregnant women have a "glow", was not referring to this pregnant lady! I can not believe the way my face has reacted to pregnancy. I'm completely breaking out! Walking out of the house without makeup on isn't really an option for me these days, because I look like a meth addict. When I am on-air for TWIN CITIES LIVE, I have to spackle an inch-thick of make-up on my face. Thank goodness for MAC Studio Finish Powder. That shiz hides everything!
Not only do I have pregnancy "acne", but I can't find a happy-medium between my dry skin and trying to clear up the zits on my face:( I need to put on a heavy moisturizer for fear of my skin cracking off, but doing that just makes my "acne" worse.
If anyone has any ideas or recommendations, I am all ears!

I am 28 weeks pregnant with my first baby boy. My face broke out in the first few weeks and hasn't been the same since. All along my jaw line, I have a tone of acne...nothing I have done helps. Hopefully I don't have scars once this baby comes out...good luck!!
