Dry and itchy!?

Kingston54Kingston54 member
in 3rd Trimester

How are you keeping moisturized?  Everywhere is (visibly) dry and now my ankles are so dry they are itchy!  I've been using a Burt's Bees lotion but it's not working!

I don't use any lotions with parabens, maybe that's why I'm having such a hard time finding something that will work!?

Thanks for sharing!

    Occasional aveeno oatmeal bath and aveeno lotion are my go to. Also, make sure you're staying hydrated. Skin is stretching and more exposed and delicate than ever, sucks, GL!

    Have you tried using oils? My friend swears by olive oil. I use vitamin e oil with almond oil by Jason. You can find it at whole foods. Burt's Bees makes an apricot oil that's also good.

    I use Everyday Shea. It's awesome. I can't afford shea butter by itself, but a huge 32 oz bottle of this stuff is only like 10.

    The Body Shop Body Butter works great for me.

    I use a humidifier & I think the moisture in the air helps a little. I'm really bad about remembering to put on lotion so I don't have any suggestions there, GL!

    The dermatologist told me to look for creams not lotions. He recommended the CeraVe body wash and moisturizing cream for DD"s eczema. It seriously is a miracle worker. I normally find it at Target or Walgreens.

    Say Yes To Carrots works really well. It is also free of parabens and reasonably priced. If you are interested it can be found at Target and I believe you can find it at CVS or Walgreens. Its great if you have sensitive skin too. I have been using this along with the Burt's Bees line of products.
