Extremely dry legs

Hey ladies, anyone experiencing very dry legs and arms? I thought it might be peeling from sunburn but now its starting to look rather ... reptilian! lol! I use moisturiser but it doesn't seem to scrape the surface. Anyone know how to super moisturise?

Definitely in the same boat. Just lathered my legs up and it seems like it soaked it up so fast they are already dry again. And acne is out of control. :(

Judt rub coconut oil on. Exfoliate first as you need to remove dead skin first or the moisturising wont be as effective

I don't have the oil but tried a bit of the baby oil I had left. It will probably take time to get the skin back to normal, since in the morning my legs were bone dry again.
I sometimes think it could be a boy too...mainly because I'm struggling to come up with boy names and because I'm eating more savoury than sweet things. Time will tell.
I saw there was some baking soda test to check for gender (just do a web search). Would be interesting to see how true the results are.

Yes! Old wives'tale says that means it's a boy! I should try the coconut oil bath.
