Dry, patchy skin??

in Pregnant after IF
My pregnancy updates said this could happen, but was hoping it wouldn't muchless on my freakin' face. I woke up this morning with patches of flaky skin on my face, almost like a peeling sunburn. Anyway, the flakes have stopped and now I just have these red blotches on my face.
Question is...is anyone else dealing with this and have you found something to help?

Thanks ladies!

    yes! and they hurt! Pre-pregnancy, I would use Origins face lotion (b/c I have sensitive skin), and that even burns now. The worst is when it is on your eyelids.

    I'm just trying to drink lots of water and not use anything that irritates my skin.

    I developed eczema on my elbows while being pregnant and nothing really helps except vitamin e oil. it gets really itchy & looks like hives for a few days then its really dry & flaking off for a few days... then the cycle repeats itself. i tried lotion, hydrocortisone, bag balm & vitamin e oil (at least its natural & relieves it a little bit)
