Dry skin - any recommendations?

Question

So my skin is dry. I slather myself in coconut oil (the good stuff!) and lay on a towel. But my skin is so stinking dry from the weather and general pregnancy. Clearly my baby girl is stealing my oils haha. 
Any other recommendations that are a little more gentle? I have very sensitive skin. 
Problem areas: alligator scaly arms, dry skin at hair line so it looks flaky (not dandruff), and my belly... but we know why that is itchy and dry. Baby belly!

Answer

I’ve been using vasaline advanced therapy and just bought the Palmers for stretch marks. I have to apply every morning and sometimes before bed I’m so flaky! Mostly around my waist, but my legs and arms too. My T zone has also gotten dry like it’s a north eastern winter. 
I have some at work too that I have in a travel that I mixed with Vietnam E oil. 
I have no hope of finding better. Thankfully I’m not itchy just dry and flaky

Live in Colorado and it is SO DRY!!! I made a concoction of coconut oil, coconut butter, Shea butter and sweet almond oil. Put it on right after a shower and it keeps me hydrating for almost 24 hours!! Love it!!

Answer

This stuff is amazing

Answer

Try calendula oil (I like Weleda products). Coconut oil can actually wick moisture away from your skin. Avoid super hot baths or showers.

Answer

How frequently do you shower? If every day, maybe go to every other day or if you feel the need to shower daily only use soap on your body every other day. It can dry you out. I know some people will even apply oil to their skin in the shower. I’m using almond oil and also have the richest grade of eucerin that I apply.

Answer

Haven’t personally tried it but I was recommended sesame seed oil. Also I’ve had the flaky skin on my hairline since puberty and it goes away when I use a sensitive/pharmacy shampoo but comes back immediately when I start using any regular shampoo.

Answer

I was literally on here to post the same question! I have tried palmer’s, I have tried Curel, and most recently Shea Moisture cocoa butter lotion. My skin is still so dry, flaky, and itchy! I can’t seem to find anything to help 😔
