Super dry skin issues

[yellowbrkrd]

This pregnancy has really screwed up my skin. At first I was breaking out like a teenager, now I am SUPER dry.

I normally have very dry skin and use Origins moisturizer on my face. But now I have dry patches all over my face and putting extra moisturizer on isn't helping. So I guess I need to exfoliate? I have extremely sensitive skin, so it can't be too harsh. Any recommendations?

The moisturizer may not be right for your face. I have super dry skin and there are a lot of moisturizers that are too drying for me.

This Cetaphil moisturizer is MM and is great for dry skin (though not specifically for the face, I love it on my face):

If the dry patches persist, you may want to look into whether it is eczema -- my eczema can look like flaky patches. But I'm not sure what eczema treatments are safe during pregnancy so I don't have any suggestions there.

I use first aid beauty's ultra repair cream and it's awesome for dry skin without being heavy or greasy.

I have been using cerve pm with my dry patches on my face. Gentle like cetaphil.

My whole body has been super dry with pregnancy I've been using Eucerin lotion a ton.

Thanks for the recs!

I have used Eucerin in the past, but for some reason it wasn't working for me anymore. I currently use Cerave for my face wash and really like it, so maybe I'll try the PM first and go from there.
