Any other mommy here facing skin rash/skin issues?

I'm in Week 9 and for around two to three weeks, I've noticed a persistent rash marking stretching just below my lower lips. Also, pimples are breaking out at my chin n not going away for weeks. Is this normal? I usually don't have too much skin issues, hence not sure if this has to do with pregnancy....

I had the same issue when I was in week 17? My entire skin barrier on my face seemed to be compromised as I felt stinging sensation when I applied the moisturer. I asked my beautician, she said it’s normal since I’m expecting and there’s some changes in hormones. I tried to be diligent and gentle when I’m doing my skincare routine and it got better after a month. It takes time for the skin to recover. Hope this helps! (:

thank u for your sharing!! I'm not alone in this 😢 indeed, I too felt a burning sensation when I apply moisturizer on it (cetaphil). I feel demoralised at times when I stare into the mirror, and retreated to being a hermit not wishing to be outside and meet people unless necessary. looks like it's all hormones at work. hope this phase passes soon and I can regain some confidence😌
