Dry skin is pretty common in pregnancy. I have it also I make sure I put coconut oil on every night .it helps with the itch.

Hey ladies I was wondering if dry skin I normal during pregnancy? I've had 3 kids before. The last one was 4 years ago so I don't remember if that was an issue. The dry skin is on my breasts and I have this patch on my forehead. My legs seem to be dryer as well. I was just curious if thi is normal.

Don't get coconut oil mixed with hemp. Buy pure fractionated coconut oil. Most health food stores have them.

Pregnancy hormones bring about huge changes to almost every part of your body. Dry skin during pregnancy is usually brought on by a loss of bodily fluids. That’s because your body is sucking you dry so that it can provide all the necessary hydration for your baby’s development. Because your need for bodily fluids are increasing so much, it is almost impossible to keep up, meaning your skin is dehydrating. So make sure you’re drinking plenty of water at least 8 glasses a day.

My face is soo dry too.. Has Been my whole pregnancy so far. I use hand moisturizer actually and that helps. I used to have acne so this is really weird for me lol.

Before you shower in the morning take a cotton ball soak it and rub it all over your face let it dry then just rinse it in the shower. And before bed after you take off your make up rub it all over your face let it dry then rinse and pat dry my acne got sooooooo bad I hated looking in the mirror and now its almost gone.

Soo I'm dealing with dry skin in my face seems like no lotion is working for it now. I've never had this problem until recently. Anyone else having this problem and what's something that would help??? 18w=5m if it matter how far I am.

I've never had this before regardless of wat the weather is ..

Has anyone else noticed SUPER dry skin starting early in the pregnancy. I'm 9 weeks tomorrow and my arms and thighs and face are always super dry.

Before I got pregnant, I had smooth skin. Now I'm getting acne and my face is SO dry, and it never used to be. I can't even wear foundation cause it looks gross with my skin so dry. Have any of you ladies used any moisturizer or acne wash that has helped during your pregnancy?

Im 15wks and 4days and my hands have been so dry and the skin has been peeling for about a wk. Is this normal, is anyone else going thru tgis?

ladies I've seen a lot of you posting on here asking for remedy a for dry skin, I've also done it myself lol. We all know that pregnancy is not very nice to us and one problem happens to be unattractive flaky dry skin that I could not get rid of! Well I have found a solution, and I thought I would share with you all hopefully it works for you too! Baby oil! ( ironic, isn't it? ) I used it two days in a row and honestly my skin could not look or feel better.

So I've started to get really dry skin all over my face and it's driving me freaking crazy!! I spent an hour in the bathroom mirror getting a lot of it off and putting lotion on!! Anyone else experience this and find a way to make it go away??

Before I was pregnant I was told hot showers are bad. Luke warm is better and Vaseline right after. Should pat dry nit completely dry of to keep moisture in. But during my pregnancy I used 100 pure natural African shea butter.

I use Utter Butter for stretch marks and dry skin. You can use it on your nipples too during and after pregnancy. The Utter Butter is completely safe for the baby even as it's nursing so you're covered either way. With your body changing and skin stretching, you're probably going to end up with a lot of dry skin problems and some flaky patches here and there.

I have it too. The glow is from extra oil on your skin, but my skin is usually very dry, so I don't seem to have any (visible) oil. I do have acne though, and because my skin is so terrible I get really awful, bleeding blemishes that take forever to heal. No fun. If you're not allergic to soap, try warm water and mild soap. Don't use acne medicine because it can harm the baby. Good luck.

Anyone else have very dry skin i cant stand how dry my hands are.
