Acne getting worse is one of the biggest problem of pregnant women. It is a hormonal driven condition and there are other women who take oral contraceptive to clear up their complexion. However, there are some women who report that their acne gets better during their pregnancy.

Oil glands respond to androgen. They produce more quantities of sebum that clogs the oil glands opening resulting to blackheads.

After pregnancy, this will most likely clear up, so don’t worry mommy’s! There are safe medicines you can use though if it becomes severe while pregnant such as topical antibiotics.

Washing your face daily using over-the-counter product cleanser can also minimize breakouts. Choose a product that contains alpha-hydroxy acid.
