What is going on with my skin??

Question

So I am 12wks into my 4th pregnancy, (first 3 were boys) and I have never had a skin problem like this. My skin is not only extremely dry and rough on my face and ears but also peeling on my t-zone and other areas on my body. It's nuts! I use homemade face scrub of brown sugar and coconut oil to exfoliate my skin and lotion w/ Vaseline to try to moisten it. Anyone else having these kind of issues? Or possible some other advice for what to do about my skin? I am getting extremely self conscious about this. (As vain as that sounds)

Answer

Baking soda is an incredible exfoliant! Mix a little bit with water and use it after washing your face twice a week. Then I use coconut oil at night as a moisturizer. Works miracles!

Answer

I have two girls n my face broke out n got ridiculous due to hormones.

Answer

Seems you are expecting a girl this time..... 😉 try to find a cream who helps against your problems.

Answer

That's exactly how I was on my last pregnancy. I replaced my lotions with my home made, umm lotion? Lol
 I mixed 6 spoons of Coconut Oil Virgen and 3 Vitamin E capsules (punctured the capsules to get liquid out)after you mix it, it should be watery. Place it in a container and refrigerate for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then take it out and place it where ever you keep your normal lotions. I used it right after washing my face and left it on. It worked great. Plus it makes your face look gorgeous after a while of use. Hope this helps. I still use it, and love it.

Answer

With girls I hear this is normal.. It's due to the amount of hormones your body is doubling to create a little girly.. And your skin can take the brunt of all that estrogen.

Try some shea butter

Try a steam facial to open up the pores and mix some coconut and olive oil together and plaster your face with it leave it on for a little while and blot the excess off.

Answer

My friend had "pep" during her pregnancy.. It's an acronym but Google pep pregnancy and you will see. She said it was extremely itchy! Got special cream from the doc to help but it didn't go away until she gave birth
