Dry skin since having baby - poss vitamin deficiency?

My skin on chin, forehead and nose has become so dry in the last few weeks, it's really flakey and nothing I have tried alleviates it. I gave birth 12 weeks ago and have been B/Fing
I wondered if this was due to a vitamin deficiency?
Does anyone have a similar experince??

I noticed that after having my first...along with wrinkles for the first time in my life! Are you breastfeeding? If so, that might be a contributing factor - if you're not drinking enough then your body will compensate by squeezing out moisture from your skin (I found). Moisturisers weren't really as effective as drinking several litres of water a day...

I agree could be slight dehydration as your body uses your fluid to produce milk. I would try drinking more and see if it helps
