Postpartum skin dryness
I’m 3 weeks postpartum and my skin is so dry and horrible. Has anyone had this? No matter how much water or moisturiser it’s still dry. Does anyone know of ways to stop this?

My little boy is almost 6 weeks and I've had this from about the same time but solely on my handd, the only thing that seems to help is a good moisturiser.. Other than that I haven't found anything but it is slowly getting better x
Yes! I googled it and it’s said it’s normal because you carry extra fluid during pregnancy and then lose it all. It’s driving me mad!
Yep, feel like a snake loosing its skin, totally gross and annoying!
I did in the first couple of weeks. Told my partner I felt like a snake shedding it's skin! 🐍 It's calmed down now (5.5 weeks PP)
I’ve been using a cruelty free line that’s really helped my dryness after giving birth
