Scaly flaky legs

5 replies

I remember this happening after DC1 was born, now DC2 is 8 months and everything is just so dry, dry hands, dry scalp, dry feet, dry face, but the worst by far is my legs.

I guess it's due to breastfeeding and I'm making a conscious effort to drink more water but it seems my legs are beyond saving! They are the only part of my physique I usually like so I need to fix this before the warm weather returns.

I have tried exfoliating but all the flaky skin falls off to reveal... more flaky skin underneath. Any miracle products out there you can recommend?

A moisturiser should sort it out. I would just use a supermarket own label - they are just as good as the expensive ones.

Just buy an OTC emollient and moisturise them to buggery.

This Works leg oil sorts it for me

Baby oil in the shower plus gold emollient moisturiser afterwards. I'm a fan of aloe vera but something cereve is also brilliant.
