Can horomones change how my skin reacts to certain face washes?

I have had very sensitive skin in the last few years. It actually got better when I went off of birth control back in 2011. Since I've found out I am pregnant my skin is really dry and after I wash my face (usually only when I am in the shower) my face is bright read and itchy. I have been using the same face wash for a few months now because I did not have a reaction to it. When I was my face at night it doesn't get red but it does feel really tight and dry. Has anyone else had this happen? If you have was there a certain type of face wash you used that helped or a moisturizer that helped?

    With my first pregnancy I developed a latex allergy...I miscarried and the allergy went away. So, I'm sure its possible that a regular skin product you use can cause problems now

    Not pregnant, but my skin has gone wacko since the weather changed here really suddenly. If you have your heat on, that can make your skin get dry really fast. A lot of people use Cerave or Cetaphil, I've just switched to using Ponds Cold Cream at night to take my make-up off. I wipe it off with a washcloth and leave some on the really dry spots and cover with moisturizer. I was a totally flaky tight red mess around my nose and it's at least 80% better. Jergens makes one as well. Also, if you use a powder foundation, maybe switch to something more liquid.

    I use coconut oil (very very little) for dryness, thats all I use as moisturizer. You should try that, its seriously done wonders for my sensitive dry/oily/acne prone skin.
