Yes! I used to apply cold-pressed coconut oil and then eat a bowl of juicy watermelons to hydrate from the inside. Double win!

I got so worried when my skin started peeling and itching in my second trimester. But my gynac said it's very normal due to hormones, just hydrate well.

My skin got super dry, especially on my belly. I made sure to moisturize right after my walks and kept my hydration levels high.

Yes, pregnancy hormones dry out your skin completely. Just switch to a heavy-duty, fragrance-free moisturizer and drink loads of water.

Yes, my skin became very dry. My saas told me to apply malai (milk cream) on my face, and honestly, it helped more than expensive creams.
