Not getting that glow? Same. Pregnancy acne is more common than you think. Here's what you can do.     

We often hear about glowing skin when it comes to pregnancy, although another more common issue that pops up time and time again is pregnancy acne - and it’s much more common than you might think. 

You see, pregnancy acne tends to pop up during pregnancy due to an excess of sebum (oil) production which can  happen when your body produces an excess of different hormones. 

Plus, there will always be additional factors that contribute to pregnancy acne too like stress and genetics. Not to mention how hard it’s for many expecting mums to get through the first trimester if they’re dealing with morning sickness or constant nausea. 

The additional stress, lack of a balanced diet, lack of sleep and generally just feeling like you’ve been hit by a bus is not the optimal time for skin to be thriving - however, for some people it might! (Although don’t beat yourself up, if all you can do throughout your pregnancy is the bare minimum and you truly experience a lack of glow.) Every experience is different. 

Pregnancy acne is also not a specific type of acne, but just a term that’s used to describe breakouts when somebody is pregnant and it can appear anywhere on the face - or the body. It really doesn’t discriminate. 

Anyway, just because you’re pregnant it doesn’t mean there aren’t effective ways to minimise the appearance of your breakouts, or get rid of them altogether! (Pregnancy acne may also come and go throughout different trimesters.) 

So while treatments and products using ingredients like vitamin A or high levels of salicylic acid might be out. Ingredients like azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, lactic acid, sulfur and niacinamide are in. 

Below are a few more ways to help you manage your breakouts during the nine months. 

The number one rule when it comes to pregnancy skincare is to be gentle. 

So if you’re breaking out the last thing your skin needs is to be attacked with chemical exfoliants to try to make the breakouts subside. 

It’s best to stick to a regular skincare routine no matter your skin situation. 

Cleanse every morning, double cleanse at night, avoid scrubbing excessively and use gentle chemical exfoliants like mandelic and/or lactic/ glycolic acids, which are not not only going to help reduce excess sebum production but they are safe and effective during pregnancy and especially beneficial when salicylic acid and retinoids are off limits. 

Also try and get regular skin treatments - this will help look after your current skin/breakouts and prevent them in the long run. 

I know that while it may be tempting to pick and squeeze at breakouts - especially if you are experiencing them for the first time - however this will only make things worse. 

Squeezing or picking at your breakouts can not only make inflammation worse, but it will likely lead to long term scarring which often can be worse and harder to treat on the skin than the breakout itself. 

Cloud Patch is the award-winning, almost-invisible pimple patch in the shape of a cloud. Each cloud is made from vegan hydrocolloid that draws out excess fluid, protects from skin-picking and helps to minimise the appearance of your pimple in as little as 6 hours. The patches are infused with bio-active centella to calm skin and reduce redness. Cloud Patch blends equally seemlessly into all skin tones. Every pack includes 35 pimple patches in two sizes. Can be worn day, night or both. A must-have in every beauty cabinet! Cloud Patch was awarded the STYLEBY Beauty Heroes Award 2023 for Best Pimple Patch. 
HOW TO USE START

MINIMALLY INVASIVE SKIN TREATMENTS: CHEMICAL PEELS

I am always advising clients to keep up with their regular skin treatments during pregnancy. It can do a world of good, and light chemical peels during pregnancy are fine and safe to be doing. They can also prevent dead skin cell build up which can be a contributing factor to breakouts in the first place. 

Regular skin treatments during your pregnancy can also set your skin up for post-partum when it may be even more difficult to get into clinic with a baby in tow.

What Causes Pregnancy Acne and How to Treat It

I love embarking on a skincare ingredient deep dive, getting to the core of what an ingredient is, where it comes from and, most importantly, what visible results it can deliver for our skin.

Microbioskin ™ Botanical Multi Balm 50ml

DERMAL THERAPIST & NUTRITIONIST

The face mask is a medium for rejuvenation. More so now than ever, we’re valuing the importance of hydrated, radiant skin. So, what type of mask suits you?

WHEN YOU THINK OF THE ULTIMATE PAMPERING SKINCARE CLICHE, I´LL BET A FACE MASK COMES TO MIND

A luxurious face mask is that special skincare treat, whether you're enjoying some self care, or your skin feels in need of some extra love.

Achieving that plump, deeply hydrated and nourished glow is the goal for most, but choosing the right face mask for your skin type, and using it correctly, is the key to achieving it.

Below, we cover all of your facial masks questions - from the different types, how long to leave a face mask on, and how often to use them.

+ Types of masks and who they’re suited to

+ When to do a face mask?

+ How long to do it for?

+ What ingredients to look for

The purpose of a face mask is to introduce and restore nutrients, vitamins and actives to the skin, restoring health and improving look and feel. 

The ‘right’ face mask will consist of ingredients that will aid the skin in absorbing these qualities. 

There are specific masks to help you achieve a desired outcome; yes there are general maintenance face masks, but if you truly want to see the best results, you have to understand what it is you’re trying to achieve.  We recommend identifying what you’d like to improve and find a mask that caters specifically to your skin. 

So, what might these skin goals look like?

Have you decided what face mask you’re going with? Click to find out about your preferred method.

We recommend choosing your mask and looking at the specific recommendations on application, duration and aftercare provided with the product. Face masks, according to the style and ingredients, can have specific guidelines. 

If you haven’t chosen a mask yet, we’d love to show you our collection of face mask products, all with a centralised focus on natural ingredients and skinimalism.

Cream masks are best suited to those with dry or ageing skin; the viscosity should be thick and nourishing. 

It’s best to find a cream mask that is alcohol or even fragrance-free to avoid that age-old delayed dry feeling the next day.

Cream masks can be used 2-3 times per week.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU LEAVE A CREAM MASK ON?

You should leave a cream mask on for 20 minutes and wash away, or leave it on overnight in place of your regular night cream.

Repairing Face Mask 50ml

Gel masks should cool, soothe, and relax the face and skin. Authentic and well-formulated gels use peptides, an essential amino acid that the skin needs to build certain proteins. Also, be on the lookout for antioxidants, a necessary component that helps repair skin and reduce inflammation.

Gel masks should be used 1-2 times per week, morning or night.

Allow active ingredients in the gel mask to absorb into facial skin for 10-15 minutes.

Overnight masks, simply put, are a godsend. Working on your skincare while you sleep, what’s not to adore? But it’s so important to understand the contents of your chosen overnight mask product; as you can imagine, any harmful ingredients are magnified due to the duration of the treatment. 

We encourage looking for a product that is going to nurture your complexion and deliver a rich boost in probiotics, essentially increasing your production of necessary proteins and enzymes needed for a healthy complexion.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU USE AN OVERNIGHT MASK?

Overnight masks can be used 2-3 times per week for Dry/Dehydrated Skin, and 1-2 times per week for Combination/Oily skin.

A clay mask should help you rid of the impurities in your pores, reducing reoccurring blemishes. You should always look for a clay mask that’s rich in minerals and antioxidants, stimulating new and healthy cell growth.

Clay masks are ideal for people that suffer from acne or have an oily skin complexion. 

Clay masks can be used 2 times per week. If you identify as a dry skin type, we recommend sticking to 1 facial a week to avoid cracks or increased dryness. 

How long should you leave a clay mask on?

Leave the clay mask on for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and a soft cloth.

A clarifying, Cream clay-based formulation that cleanses skin of residual impurities, refreshes and detoxifies while delivering Skin-Supportive Vegan Herbal Korean Ingredients. Creamy clay mask that doesn't dry out sensitive skin, and soothes and smoothes irritated skin texture.
 Suited to: Oily, Normal, and Sensitive Skin.

Treating these conditions requires patience & calm, which their product line signifies. We know this can difficult in a world where most people will try anything for a quick fix to get rid of a pimple, but Common Clouds is here to help us carry our skin with pride - pimples or not. 

Cloud Patch is the award-winning, almost-invisible pimple patch in the shape of a cloud. Each cloud is made from vegan hydrocolloid that draws out excess fluid, protects from skin-picking and helps to minimise the appearance of your pimple in as little as 6 hours.



Cloud Patch blends equally seemlessly into all skin tones. Every pack includes 35 pimple patches in two sizes. Can be worn day, night or both. A must-have in every beauty cabinet!

Under the moon, skin finds peace. Soothing, smoothing, deeply hydrating and packed with barrier-loving ingredients, Moon Balm is a multifunctional moisturiser made to gently address several common skin troubles at once. The truly unique formula combines skin-calming, redness-fading powerhouses like centella, purslane and guaiazulene (blue chamomille) with a skin-identical blend of lipids, fatty acids and ceramides to strengthen and nourish the skin barrier.

A clinically tested retinol molecule delivers all the skin-transforming benefits of retinol – like improving texture and regulating sebum – but without irritation. The balmy cream works its magic from skin’s deep layers to the outer barrier, leaving skin calm, dewy and more even-looking. All skin will love Moon Balm, but ideal for combination to dry, redness-prone and/or blemish-prone skin. Tested on sensitive skin. Formulated without fragrance. Vegan.
HOW TO USE START 
Apply the moisturiser as the last step of your skincare routine.
