Dry skin anyone?

NJBride4-8-05

Anyone have freakishly dry skin?  I dont know what is going on.  About 2w ago it was around my eyebrows down to my chin and my neck.  Got it to go away with extra moisturizer.  Now it is back but not as bad.  Uggh.  I cant find anything out online or in books except for pregnancy mask and I dont think that is it.

Try Philosophy from Sephora.  I think it's the best cream on earth.

Yeah, I have dry eyelids!  It's so weird. And certain eye shadows irritate it and my eyes get all red and puffy.  I asked my doctor and she said that dry spots on the face are just one of those pregnancy thangs.

It's not pregnancy mask, but I have dry hands and face and extremely dry lips right now.  I just assumed it was the crazy temperature changes we're going though and our extremely dry climate.

Oh also run a humidifier if you have one.  I've been running ours and it's made a difference.  The air is so dry right  now.

I have this issue even when not pg. I'm allergic to certain make-ups. A certain type of liquid eyeliner (think it's Loreal can't remember) makes the skin peel and really dry.

I have really dry patches, and it's a form of excema. I don't get it all the time, or all over, and being pg has made it worse.

Try Aquafor (or phor forgot the spelling) by Eucerin. (so I'm horrible with spelling these things today, sorry.) That's what I use.

I had the same problem. Someone here suggested using Aveeno Intensive Repair lotion. I put some on before I go to bed, and then after my morning shower. It works for me!

You're lucky if it's just your face - i have it ALL OVER my body! it's INSANE.  I feel like taking a bath in baby oil after I come out of the shower! I lotion my ENTIRE body twice a day and I'm still scratching away!

Ditto! My skin has been SOOOO dry, I just want to jump out of it.  I actually asked my doctor about it and her best response was "try putting on lotion after you get out of the shower."  DUH! I already do that!  Anyway, nothing is helping, but I am going to go buy a humidifier for my bedroom tonight and see if that helps.  *fingers crossed*

Keep us posted if you find a miracle cure!
