My skin is like sandpaper! I need Skincare recommendations

edited December 2014 in July 2015 Moms
I've noticed my face is extremely dry, in the middle of the night when I get up to pee I also want to put moisturizer on my face because its do dry. Plus I've had s couple break outs with pimples around my temples. I normally don't experience acne so I don't know what to use our what products to try. And my legs are also so very dry they feel horrible and flaky. I've been using a combo of baby oil and lotion but it doesn't seem to work for long. Does anyone have any face/body skin care or lotion recommendations?

    I use lots of coconut oil and sometimes almond oil.  Good luck! ;)

    I have dry skin and have been using the oil cleansing method for years. You rub a mixture of castor oil and sunflower oil over your face and wipe it off using a hot wash cloth. I put cold cream over that for the night. Works great for me!

    I like the Simple line of skincare products. They aren't super pricey and right now, CVS has a deal on them, BOGO50%, plus extra bucks. :)

    I've seen a lot of people on here recommend coconut oil.

    Me too! I'll try coconut oil. My dermatologist said a benefit of pregnancy was good skin! Mine is dry with pimples!!

    My skin is awful too! There's never a time I don't have a zit... but another patch of my face will be so dry at the same time. I'm definitely not a pretty glowing pregnant person with beautiful skin and hair.... I have more zits than ever, my hair is falling out in clumps and I probably have a green tinge all the time from the nausea...  how many more months!?

    I have combination skin and have had annoying monthly acne since I hit puberty (always on my chin.  sigh).  I've had good luck with the tea tree oil stuff that the body shop carries, and they're always having huge sales.  Good luck!!
