My skin has become super dry and flaky, especially on my face, ever since I got pregnant. It feels so uncomfortable. What are some safe ways to treat dry skin on the face during pregnancy?
My face became super dry and flaky during my first trimester, and later we found out it was due to my thyroid levels acting up. Please get your thyroid profile checked along with your routine blood tests just to be safe. Also keep applying a basic moisturizer.
Yaar, actually pregnancy hormones skin ki band bajate hain. My face was feeling like a desert! I just started applying pure virgin coconut oil or aloe vera gel at night, and it honestly helped so much. Just keep it simple and stay hydrated!
Oh, I remember having such dry, dull skin on my cheeks back then! I used to stress so much about my pregnancy glow disappearing. But trust me, my baby is a toddler now and my normal skin came back automatically post-delivery, so just use a gentle cream and relax.
My dermatologist told me that hormonal shifts reduce sebum production, leading to this dryness. She strictly advised me to avoid any products with retinol or salicylic acid during pregnancy. I shifted to a simple hyaluronic acid serum and ceramide cream, which worked beautifully.
To be honest, my face is dry but I’m too busy eating malai barfi right now to care, haha! But on a serious note, applying a little bit of fresh milk cream (malai) on your face at night works wonders. It's fully natural and smells yummy too!
