Very dry skin at 33 wks

[titferbrains]

My skin is soooo dry ATM. How much water do you need to drink to improve your skin? Feel like I drink an ok amount 1.5l per day but i have dark skin and it looks permanently ashy. Am using aveeno creamy oil, aqueous cream if itchy, and coconut oil sometimes on legs if I'm going out. My shower gel is soap free I think. Feel like i moisturise constantly to no avail!

My gp told me that aqueous cream can be used as a cleaner, so try using it instead of shower gel as it's milder. It even lathers up!

I have also been using olive oil all over straight out of the shower and massaging it in. 34 weeks and no stretch marks yet, touch wood, and rarely itchy.

HTH

Cleanser that should say not cleaner!

Thanks, will have a go wihh aqueous cream. Going to have a big glass of wAter while I wait for more tips
