what are you using?

Pregnancy has killed my skin! It's so dry and flakes my lips peel and hair brakes off :( what are you moms using for moisturizer on your skin? Any amazing products? I spent around 100 dollar's on cream and it didn't even help a little. Any ideas?

I use organic coconut oil. I eat it, put it in my hair and rub it all over my skin.

My skin was the same way too. oddly i starting using babywash moisturizer wash on my legs and arms in the shower, and cocoa butter lotion everytime i shower. Seemed to have worked great for me i can finally say i am no longer itchy and dryed out. And i have no stretch marks yet.

I agree with coconut oil or milk. I live by it, pregnant and before. I LOVE cocoa butter as well. But the thick stuff : ) Shea butter with vitamin E works well for me as well.

Put mayonnaise in your hair and leave it in for an hour, also egg whites works great too! As for skin I use the morrocan oil lotion, I use the shampoo and conditioner too

If your skin is extremely dry you can add Vaseline to your lotion and be sure to apply it to your skin within 5min after getting out of the shower while your skin is still a little damp. Eucerin or baby oil are also great and I agree coconut oil works wonders :)

Trader joes moisturizer, and coconut oil for hair it does wonders. Leave coconut oil in hair for an hour before showering twice a week you'll love it
