Why does acne occur during pregnancy?
If you are pregnant, you probably already know that during pregnancy, your hormone levels soar. This is, in part, the reason you may be experience acne. Hormones called androgens can cause an increased production of an oily substance in your skin called sebum. The sebum, along with extra skin cells that you body sheds can block the pores and cause the acne to occur. The severity of this acne varies for each woman. Some women may not experience acne at all.
