Dry skin

I have dry skin and it seems to be worse now that I am pregnant and my skin gets really flaky looking even after using facial moisterizer right after a shower.  I have been using jergens natural glow daily facial moisuterizer with uva/uvb spf 20, and a sublte skin darkening complex.   I would like to know if anyone has any other suggestions for a good facial moisterizer?   Thanks!

Re: Dry skin

  • Aveeno facial care is great and very gentle. I use the clinique 3 step system and it has done me well (though it's no match for some of the pregnancy acne I've been getting) too and it has a moisturizer but Aveeno is the product I swear by.

  • My skin has gone from combo/oily to extremely dry, and I tried everything in the drugstore. I finally went to origins, and found a great face wash and moisturizer that has worked wonders (my skin is the softest it's EVER been, and it took under a week to get that way).

    I highly recommend them.

  • I have been rubbing my belly down with Curel and my face has been so dry I just put it on my face too.  Works :)  I like Nivea for my face too though!

  • My dermatologist recommended Cerave cream and I love it.  You can buy it at Walmart - not with the regular lotions but in the more high-end lotion area.  A tub of it is about 15 bucks.  It's also completely free of perfumes and dyes.
