Managing postpartum acne and skin changes

After giving birth, many women experience changes in their skin, including acne breakouts.

Here are some tips for managing postpartum acne and skin changes:

Keep the skin clean: Gently wash your face twice a day with a mild, oil-free cleanser. Avoid using harsh or scented products, which can irritate the skin.
Use non-comedogenic moisturizers: Non-comedogenic moisturizers are formulated to not clog pores, which can help reduce the risk of acne breakouts.
Avoid picking at pimples: Picking at pimples can irritate the skin and increase the risk of scarring.
Protect your skin from the sun: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.
Eat a healthy diet: A well-balanced diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help support healthy skin.
Talk to your doctor: If you are experiencing persistent or severe acne or other skin changes, be sure to talk to your doctor. They can provide additional advice and treatment as needed.
