How to deal with acne naturally during pregnancy

• A good number of women develop acne when pregnant. This is usually caused by the higher levels of hormones that stimulate production of natural oils on the skin.
• The oils clog up the pores leading to acne. Women who already have oily skin, experienced acne during their teenage years or get break outs during the start of their menstrual cycles are more prone to acne when pregnant.

Unfortunately, taking over-the-counter and prescription medicines during pregnancy is not advised because it can affect your baby and lead to birth defects. It is therefore advisable to avoid them and deal with your acne through proper care of your skin.
