Skin - Advice needed
Hi Ladies
I had really bad skin with my last pregnancy. Lots of horrible spots and really oily skin right the way through and it took a year for them to clear up properly. I'm now pregnant again and already my skin is mega greasy and the old spots look like they are making their return. I've got some particularly painful craters along the top of my back (v.attractive).
I was just wondering whether anyone had any tips on preventing and treating spots during pregnancy. I felt so ugly during the last pregnancy that i'd really like to avoid the same experience this time round. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice ladies xx
The best thing you can do is use a scrub twice a week for a deep clean and witch hazel is really good as an all round toner for cleaning and closing pores, there is a company called mother earth that does some fantasic all natural skin care scrubs etc, dont know what they are like on oily skin though as my is really dry. The biggest mistake people make with oily skin is not using a moisturiser, as they think they wont need it , it can help a lot if you get the right 1, Clarins do an excellent 1 for oily/combination skin and a couple of my clients swear by it!!
You could try french green clay scrubs for your body, they are fantastic, will try and find web sites for you, hope this helps xx
