My skin has turned into sandpaper lately! Is it because of the hormones or should I change my body wash? I am in my first trimester and nothing seems to moisturize it enough.
Oh, I got extremely dry and itchy skin on my stomach and panicked thinking it was an allergy! My doctor assured me it's just pregnancy hormones and skin stretching. It is totally normal, so don't worry.
Dry skin? My skin was stretched so tight with twins that I felt like a dry, scaly lizard! Just slather on that heavy cocoa butter or coconut oil every single day, it really helps with the itchiness.
Our bodies change in so many quiet ways to nurture a new life. Dry skin is just a small sign of all the beautiful hormonal work happening inside. Keep yourself hydrated, apply sweet almond oil, and stay happy.

Yes, hormonal shifts can rob your skin of moisture during pregnancy. I found that applying organic coconut oil right after a shower kept my skin soft. It's a very common phase, so don't worry too much.
