Well...I can't see how a mild exfoliation would hurt anything if it's really dry & flaky. I live in a really dry climate & it's part of my routine to lather myself up with lotion before bed. I just use non-perfumy stuff so it won't irritate my skin. Otherwise, I just put enough on my face every night for it to stop itching after my shower...
Sorry I'm not more help!

Thanks apple, yeah I agree, surley a mild exfoliator would be ok, im thinking of going to a skin clinic, im sure they've dealt with pregnant women. I get dry skin in Winter, but oily in Summer so to have dry skin now in Summer is weird, hormones do funny things.

there is a really great treatment you can do, its super cheap , really easy, all natual, and makes your skin soooooooooooo nice.
mix some brown sugar, with some extra virgin olive oil, mix it to a runny paste and rub it all over your face.
the brown sugar works as a gentle exfoliant and gets rid of all the dry, dead skin, and the olive oil makes it so soft.
i swear i have never had nicer skin than after doing that, it makes it so smooth and soft, and you dont even need to moisturise after wards.
but i think you are best to do it before a shower, that way you make sure to get rid of any excess oil.
honestly every one needs to try this at least once....

With each of my pregnancies with the boys, I had some big dry skin issues on my face. Mainly with my eye lids & between my nose. This time I've been fine...hmmm. Anyway, if you have it on your eyelids, I highly suggest taking a q-tip with a perfume-free lotion on the end. This is actually how I get my makeup off every night (it's fantastic, believe it or not) & it moistens my eyelids too.
My biggest (pregnancy) skin issue is...gross. Last March, after having 2 small warts next to my finger nail & some on my forehead, I went to a dermatologist. She prescribed me Retynol for my forehead...it helped, but every time I thought it was "gone" it'd come back. Now that I'm preggo, I can't use it...and it's come back. She also burned off my warts & turned it into 1 big wart. I've had DH burn it off at home 2x (total of 3) & it's not going away. Going to get serious about burning it off. Any thoughts on warts on the face?

Apple, about warts my daughter had one under her foot & they froze it & it didnt work, they had to burn it off, apparently to get it out at the root, which was quite deep, she had a big hole, but it did close up with only a small scar, but it worked, on the face im not sure what they would do.
About my change in skin, I was reading it can be caused by dehydration, definately not in my case I drink plenty of water throughout the day.Dd1 Dd2 & OMG Im

apple cider vinegar.
my son had the worse wart...it wouldnt go away, no mater how many times we had it treated., you would think it was shrinking, then it would flare up worse than ever.
get some cotton wool, soak it in the vinegar, make sure it is roughly the same size as the wart, and then tape it over the wart, leave it taped on over night.
in the morning, the wart should have changed colour.
it took 3 days for my sons wart to fall off.
im really big on natural remedies for things, and i know for a fact that this works.

Dannikins, thanks! I'll have to do that asap! PS, by cotton wool...do you mean cotton swab? (Sometimes I can't keep track of American vs. British vs. Australian language on here!)
