Any advice? I finally was able to fit into my sundress NSV!!! but.... My skin is so dry and flaky... I was told if I rub EVOO all over my body.. It would help alleviate the pain. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

    Get a jar of Palmers cocoa butter. The lotion and oil are good to, but I had the most luck with the butter. I used it the entire time I was pregnant and didn't dry out at all.... well, until after the c-section. lol :) Good luck!

    As well as the lotion (and I agree Palmers is excellent) have you tried taking any type of fish oil/omega 3 tablets? They are great for your skin (and hair and nails too). I found my skin has been much less flaky and dry since taking them :)

    You look a little ashy, try exfoliating.

    Are you drinking enough water?

    Essential fatty acids, too... like, use a little bit of hemp oil, or flax oi/flax seed in your cooking.

    Do you eat nuts? maybe some raw walnuts, almonds, & cashews (I'm not saying go crazy... but nuts are great nutrition)

    I have heard if you slather up with mayo that helps a lot.

    If you have any sort of skin issues, hot water will only make it worse.

    Try taking your shower temp down a few notches. Immediately after you pat dry, rub in a lotion with Vitamin A. Any kind of "Gold Bond" brand lotion would be ideal. The ones with the gold caps are the best ones.

    And for any really troublesome spots, slather some lanolin on it. My husband has the worst dry elbows I have ever seen. Two night of lanolin, they look like they're someone else's! (You can get lanolin in the baby aisle, it's currently marketed to breastfeeding women).

    Your initial clue would be to check out the OP's profile picture. :drinker:

    Some people here have some pretty silly pictures. I don't judge anyone based on that.

    But the whole point is that the picture goes with the story on this thread. Is the light starting to click on yet? :smile:
