My son waved at us the other day!

Currently 13 weeks pregnant. Struggling with pregnancy skin. I'm using my strongest exfoliators and moisturizer and still it's like after 12 hours my face feels like scaly dry and just crunchy. Any body dealing with the same thing and have any remedies? I'm using noxzema for face wash, vitamin c serum, la Roche moisturizer w some hyaluronic acid face mist

Omg yes! My skin got pretty rough but it’s looking amazing now. I bought the Olay super serum and the Olay super serum night repair. Along with the Beekman midnight milk mask. It has worked wonders. :)

As a former Makeup Artist and extensively trained in skin care, nozxema is way too strong for your face. Try something milder and more hydrating. Cetaphil would be good for you. Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer

Went through quite a few months of trial and error trying to figure something out. It felt like my sensitive skin would either get flakey or breakout no matter what I tried. But now my skin is doing better than ever! Herbivore pink cloud jelly cleanser, you can get the small size for $15 and it only takes one pump per wash so it lasts a while, while you decide if it works for you. Fresh rose deep hydration facial toner with hyaluronic acid. Biossance rapid radiance set is $35 and includes an eye cream, face cream, night serum, and facial oil. And a nice clean sunscreen. Eminence tropical vanilla day cream spf 40 is my favorite. Everything listed are all clean beauty products and have pregnancy safe ingredients.

@Shanae Ross I was using cerave which ik has similar formulation but it just wasn't doing anything to cut back on the texture problems so I switched to noxzema cause it worked for me as a teenager and it's helped a little bit but it's no where near where I was pre pregnancy. I have normal-dry skin so typically cerave or Cetaphil works fine but idk

Have you ever tried Kiels? It is expensive but totally worth it to me. I don’t even use the face lotion, I just use their normal Body lotion on my face and it’s the only thing I have ever found to work for my skin to keep it from being dry and patchy feeing.

Also for face wash - I use the clean and clear deep action. I know it’s not “trendy” but it freakin works!!!!

Try baby wipes. I am having the same problem with my face. I used baby wipes and my skin is clearing up!
