Due to hormonal changes, many pregnant women have acne. Here are six safe natural pregnant acne treatments:
1. Gentle Cleansing
Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser. Stay away from harsh products that strip skin of oils and worsen acne.
2. Tea Tree Oil
The antimicrobial qualities of diluted tea tree oil helps treat acne. Add a few drops to jojoba oil and apply with a cotton swab to afflicted areas.
3. Honey Mask
Put raw honey on clean skin as a mask for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Honey is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory.
4. Aloe Vera Gel
Apply pure aloe vera gel to acne-prone areas to minimise inflammation, redness, and healing. Avoid adding scent or additives to the gel.
5. Green Tea
Brew and cold green tea. Apply cooled tea to your face with a cotton ball as a toner. Green tea helps acne-prone skin with antioxidants and anti-inflammation.
6. Balanced Diet
Focus on a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid processed and sugary foods that worsen acne. Drink plenty of water daily.
