I am the same. I am using aqueous cream to wash with and then moisturising afterwards with cocoa butter. I use oilatum natural repair face cream on my face. It's so crazy how dry I am. My skin is eating it. I still haven't figured out what to do about my hair.

Are you taking vitamins and eating well??

My lips are a mess at the min. Constantly dry and flaky. Slapping on the lip balm to help it but i find when i wake up in the morning theyve dried out again!!
Trying my best to keep water intake up and taking my vits and fish oil.

I 'bloomed' in my first pregnancy

This time round, not so much!

I'm currently sat drinking my tea with one hand covered in sudocreme because it is so dry it is cracking and bleeding on my knuckles

If I touch my face it starts snowing dry skin

My hair is beyond description, not helped by the fact that I haven't been to a hairdresser for 6 months.

The one thing that does seem to be working is some sanctuary shower oil and that's keeping the rest of my skin nice.

If I get chance (I won't) I may try and deep condition/hot oil my hair and try and remember to put my boots night cream on.

Thank you for the advice I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 5months gone. I have been taking vitamins etc since I found out but I went 5months not knowing so I'm guessing this is why I'm such a mess!Sad
