American actress Keke Palmer has found a secret ingredient to clear her acne, and it’s pregnancy.
The 29-year-old "Nope" star, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Darius Daulton Jackson, took to Instagram to share with her 11,7 million followers that being pregnant has helped her manage acne.
“So look, I know you can’t see right now because I got a face full of make-up on. But if you really get into it, I want you to see that everything right here is extremely flat. What that means is, even with the discolouration, there’s no more of the bumps.
“There’s no more of the raise. So I’m here to let you know I found the secret. I found the secret to clearing my acne, and guess what it is, you need to get knocked up. The reason my skin is clear it’s because I’m pregnant with a baby right now. The baby has cleared my skin up.”
Other mothers in the comment section shared their pregnancy experiences. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Guobadia said pregnancy helped her hair grow. However, there was a dramatic shift once the baby was born.
“I said the same thing about my hair. It got so thick and curly then 3-6 months after birth all dem good edges feel out,” said Guobadia.
Hair stylist Cynthia Alvarez said she also had clear skin during pregnancy but what followed was insane.
“Lmaooooo u ain’t lyingggg. But once my baby dropped, it was World War 3 on my face, and I damn near went bald. Aaaand it had the nerve to last a year.”
Palmer opened up about suffering from acne in 2020.
