[lynn5x3]

I had my daughter 3 weeks ago and as soon as I had her my skin started to get dry and breaking out...ita been getting worst no matter how much lotion I use its still dry and pealing.. its itchy ans burning -.- I thought I might of been having an allergic reaction but its only on my face I'm not using anything different and o tried taking allergy medicine and its still horrible ... any ideas ladies? I know its probably my hormones still but shouldn't they be going down by now

Thank you so much! I'm going to the pharmacy in a little bit so I'm going to see what I can find

when your hormones have a big change like having your child, your skin expels the sodium loryl solfate and other bad stuff like smoke and pollutants that are in the lotions and soaps you use and from the air around you, which is why you are breaking out, the hormone change also will cause your skin to dry out, try finding moisturizers that DONT have mineral oil (bad for your skin and dries it out really badly),  or sodium loryl solfate (this is the soap skum you scrub out of your tub and sinks found in many body and face washes to make them suds up) and wash and moisturize twice a day!!! my best suggestion would be checking out LBRI products if you are from the united states. all natural and the first ingredient is always aloe which is naturally healing. all the aloe in the products comes from large aloe barbadance plants in texas USA, and have all natural fragrances from fruit extracts and deep sea barnacles. the products are so natural that I use them not only on myself but on my 2 year old daughter and I recommend for new borns too! it is all natural making it healthier for yours and your baby's skin, even healthier and more recommended than JOHNSONS AND JOHNSONS baby lotion and soaps. hope it helps and if you need any more information on it inbox me!! I swear by this stuff lol
