thanks xoxoxoxoxox

I dont use any of the creams that the media say get rid of dry skin as i dont find they are very natural ,sometimes doing more harm than good , though i do use oils almond or grapeseed if you are allergic to nuts there are others too you can get from the health shop, i mix it with a couple of drops of lavender, its a good idea to do it after a bath before bedtime too as it gives the oil time to soak in overnight,lavender helps you sleep and relax too, also you can get emu oil, over the internet and i use this now it is incredible mine was 10 pounds for three bottles on e bay, it gets rid of allsorts and makes your skin as soft as a babies bum ! How are you finding your pregnancy?
Would be good to hear what you think , Abigailxx

hey,

I know it sounds silly but i used Johnsons Baby lotion and my skin goes really really soft...maybe use some E45 initially and keep your skin hydrated there after.

Hope it helps.

have you tried using a cream that has vitamin E in? i have begun to suffer from dry skin and found that using cocoa butter with vitamin E in helps.

hope this helps

hi.. i am nearly 24 weeks pregnant and have started to get really dry skin too ..... its very itchy and very sore and mainly on my legs ..

I have just been using my normal moisturising cream which does soothe the itching but doesnt actually cure the problem.

I am going to maybe use a cream that has a good ph balance... ie Johnsons PH 5.5 - might help to get rid of itching!

sorry i dont have any answers but hope it helps knowing that ur not alone!

Hi - skin isn't too dry - but have been using Palmers Cocoa butter to prevent stretch marks. It is brilliant! Also smells of toffee/fudge. I would try it out.
