Help dry skin

[sazza80]

I'm 26 weeks pregnant now and my skin on my legs and arms has become really dry. I've tried using coconut oil and palmers cocoa butter which normally works really well for me. Anybody experienced this or have any suggestion as to what I could use to help with my dry skin.

Hi OP,

We're just giving this one a bump for you.

The Lush solid moisturiser massage bars are the only moisturiser I use now. My skin has been really dry recently (not as bad as during pregnancy, I remember that phase and sympathise!). I also use their bath melts on the occasional times I have a bath. They both have essential oils in them I think so just double check they are ones that are safe to use in pregnancy.

I have also switched to a gentle kids shower gel to see if that helps.

Weleda Skin Food. Pricey for the amount you get but it really works. Not the body butter though, the actual cream.
