My skin is awful! Hands, legs and face being the worst! I can’t wear makeup now because it looks so bad. I have always had lovely skin until now. I have been using E45 daily, not sure if it’s doing more bad than good, but it isn’t working at all.
I would really appreciate some recommendations on what products are best to use or is it a case of nothing will make a difference until the hormones settle after having baby.

Aveeno, Eucerin, weleda skin food are worth trying. Something will help!

Fellow itchy pregnancy sufferer here. My hands are drier than the Sahara,, my legs and arms are lumpy and raw and my face is suffering around the nose, forehead and temples.
I’ve found some relief using epaderm (the lotion one) for eczema in the shower as a cleanser and then again slathering on damp skin and just patting dry (face included) Also alternating with baby oil on every third day or so but only on the body.
Best of luck, it’s rubbish.

Jumping in to offer solidarity as I've been the same. Though it makes a change from the hormonal acne I've had since coming off the pill when starting TTC! I swear I had eyebrow dandruff the other day. My lips are also constantly chapped - if anyone has and good lip balm recommendations too that'd be great 😃
