Dry skin. .

I feel like im going to go crazy!!! Im almost 24 weeks pregnant and my skin is so dry that it hurts. Im scratching so much that im leaving marks on my stomach, legs, and hands. Ive tried a bunch of stuff but my skin is so sensative, most of the time it just gets worse. Does anyone know of something really good? Lotion, oil.. ill do anything at this point. Also my boyfriend went out and bought me some coconut oil mixed with hemp.. and it seriously smells like pot... So my concern is, is hemp pot? Will it absorb through my skin? People talk highly about the oil saying its a definite dry skin cure but i just dont know. Please help.

Drink an unreasonable amount of water! Your body is dehydrated.

Any oatmeal lotion, the body shop makes amazing body butters (I like the Shea butter or almond), coconut oil, cetaphil if your skin is sensitive.

Hemp is the male pot plant and contains no thc it's actually very good for you. Try shea butter. It moisturizers to the max and is great for sensitive skin

And ALWAYS MOISTURIZE RIGHT AFTER YOU GET OUT OF THE SHOWER. Pat dry a little it but still be damp then put the oil or cream, whatever you decide on, on and let it sit for 5 minutes or until soaked in then go about getting dressed. Moisturizers require water to help give them their full effect and most people don't know this so they don't believe they work.

Don't get coconut oil mixed with hemp. Buy pure fractionated coconut oil. Most health food stores have them.
