Pregnancy mask?

So I've started to get really dry skin all over my face and it's driving me freaking crazy!! I spent an hour in the bathroom mirror getting a lot of it off and putting lotion on!! Anyone else experience this and find a way to make it go away??

I always thought the pregnancy mask was the dark patches that can appear from the pregnancy hormones. I think it's called melasma. I actually have a spot and it on my upper lip. The worst area cuz it looks like half a mustache. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little lol but I am experiencing very dry skin on my face too. I put aquaphor in the really bad areas

I have it on my arms & back. Mine isn't too bad but it won't go away until after you give birth. I keep mine under control by using vasaline lotion d drink lots of water. I have the Brita water bottle. Not sure if that helped but my patches of dry skin aren't too bad.
