Dry skin during pregnancy

For spots I usually sleep with sudocream on them but it does dry the skin/area out. I’m suffering from dry skin now and using a serum which helps a little but yet to find a good moisturiser 😅

@Chloe thank you will try the sudocrem xx

I use a niacinamide spot treatment for any spots and a face oil at night 3x per week for dry skin. A good hydrating serum is worth buying - byoma hydrating serum or hado labo is really good. X

@Jordan thank you, will definitely go buy some and try it out xx

I use Shea or olive oil based body butters on my stomach and body when it's dry but also usually get horribly spotty while pregnant it's just extra oils from hormones for me so it's a a wash in the morning and cleanse at night then use a very light moisturizer so it doesn't over do it in hopes it passes soon lol Sudocream if they look angry as 🤣but in my fourth pregnancy I've had ATM and my face skin is really good no idea why

@Sophie also double cleanse at night. Use an oil cleanser first then a water based one afterwards and it just helps with any breakouts 😃 x

Try a ceramide based cream for your face, this will nourish and protect your skin barrier. Try Curel which is a gorgeous Japanese skincare brand available in Boots or La Roche Posay - both good for sensitive skin. I’ve been using Neals Yard mothers balm for my stomach which is super nourishing x

Bucket loads of 30% vitamin c treatment each night mixted with a good quality ceramide based moisturiser. I will use vaseline for dry patches if I have them. During the day again, cermaide based moisturiser and sun cream. Before pregnancy I was a retionol user with aha and a separate bha in the mix - I use none of these during pregnancy. I typically try to avoid niaminacide and ha as they dry out my skin.

Shea butter and coconut oil
