More water which you're probably like me and hate the sloshy feeling on top of the baby weight feeling
But they say it helps the skin and your health overall in general

Put baby oil on when your still wet after a bath or shower and just leave it to soak in. I have eczema so normally suffer from dry skin and ive done this with all 3 of my pregnancy's.  It works a treat and I have minimal stretch marks.

I agree. You can also get aquaphor... it will fell nasty but trust me in there morning it will feel 100% if not close. Here's what I did. Took hot bath to open pores ( not too hot to make you sweat. Too hot isn't good for babe ) dry off. Make sure you have long sleep pant ( leggings ) point sweatshirt. 2 pair of socks ( this is only if dry from head to toe like I was  I was literally crockadile lady )... massage it on then cover it up. Sleep and take a shower in there morning. Repeat 2-3 nights. Again... feels nasty but end results are amazing.

I had this issue with my 1st pregnancy, you can try mixing in vaseline with the lotion you currently use. Works great!
