Safe Acne Treatments for Pregnant Women

October 15, 2009


Pregnant women have a surge of hormonal changes. This does not only affect their mood but also affects the skin and diet. Hormonal changes cause acne and skin issues that need to be treated without having an impact on the fetus. Natural remedies are the best for acne during pregnancy.

Clean your skin with oil. It attracts the oil and impurities form your skin and eliminates it from your skin efficiently. Olive oil and castor oil are the best oils to use as they are non comedogenic; they are attract other oils and prevent acne. They are rich in vitamins and flush out toxins from your body efficiently. Heat the oil slightly and pour it on your palms. Rub the oil on your skin and then with your finger tips massage the oil in circular motions on your face. The oil will attract other oils from your skin and get rid of the dirt. Place a warm towel on your face after a few minutes of massaging your skin. This will open your pores and enhance the cleansing process. Wipe off the excess oil with the same towel. This is the best way for women to clean their skin if they are suffering with acne. It is also the best way to control acne after delivery. The method of cleansing also moisturizes your skin.

Once a week you must use a baking soda mix on your skin in order to exfoliate your skin. This way you will get rid of the dead skin that traps unwanted oils that give rise to the acne. Mix the paste and scrub your face gently in circular movements. Do this for a few minutes and then wash your face with warm water. Splash cold water on your face after you have washed off all the soda from your face.

You must also wash your face with water every 4 to 5 hours to get rid of the dirt and oils from your face. Use a mild cleanser in order to prevent drying your skin too much. You can also use a fruit face pack once a week. Mash a citrus fruit and apply the pulp to the affected area to get rid of excess oil and to prevent acne scars.
