Skin and pregnancy!!

I am 4 months pregnant and my skin has always been sensitive but it is out of control now. My eyelids and forehead are particularly red and sore/itchy and now it's starting over arms and legs. Not changed any products as I know it's a waste of time but my usual make up, moisturiser etc are making it bad! I'm really pale so need a bit of make up. Help!!

I have a patch of v dry itchy skin, albeit quite small. I'm 14 weeks. Saw my GP who prescribed some cream with 1% hydrocortisone and safe to use in pregnancy. Seems to be helping!

My skin has been so itchy too it's usually sensitive but it's more blotchy and irritable. I am not using anything different but having cooler showers which help.
