Like all the time! No matter how much I drink water, moisturize, or use lip balm. Hair loss is scary. No joke, like a horror show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1025446 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:54:58 +0000 Boheme 1025446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I will definitely try that!<br /> @emg86: I scratched my elbow earlier bc it was itchy and the sound of dry skin totally skeeved my husband out. I've gotta fix this! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1025420 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:44:52 +0000 emg86 1025420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! My arms &amp; elbows are SO dry. I started losing hair like crazy a couple of weeks ago :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1025416 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:42:37 +0000 sarac 1025416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: SO much, in my experience. I didn't gain any weight while pregnant, but then I've put on weight nursing that was hard to lose - so my body is clearly a bit wacky. But I think that your breasts are eager to thieve fat from the rest of you to feed your baby in general. Increasing fat in my diet made a big difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1025320 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:03:59 +0000 Boheme 1025320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: Yes! I had no idea that could affect it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1025298 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 19:50:09 +0000 sarac 1025298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you nursing? My body doesn't want to burn fat stores to nurse (girrrr) so it just takes it from my hair and skin. I'd always know my daughter was having a growth spurt by my skin feeling awful and dry. Eating more fat helped, but I mostly just had to wait it out. My hair looked so awful all last winter - I was so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1024960 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:52:41 +0000 Cherrybee 1024960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!

I've been using my leftover Palmers cocoa butter from pregnancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1024903 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:30:46 +0000 .twist. 1024903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: have you tried body butter? I find it super moisturizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1024901 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:30:23 +0000 Revel 1024901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin is super dry! I hate it. I'm assuming it's hormones and hoping it will even out down the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1024895 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:27:14 +0000 Boheme 1024895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Mine is crazy!

I thought it was just me! I noticed it mostly on my toes! I just chalked it up to so many Epsom salt baths?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-dry-skin-postpartum#post-1024863 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:15:56 +0000 Boheme 1024863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have crazy dry skin now, especially on my knees and elbows. Postpartum thing or random occurrence? Has anyone else experienced rhinoceros-like skin postpartum? </p>
