Hi Peggy, Sorry to hear you are having problems with your skin, as you will be well aware being pregnant can have lots of different effects on your body and skin with all the hormones and changes going on. You mentioned that you exfoliate which is great, but I would advise you not to over exfoliate as this can make your skin drier and prone to sensitivity. Which moisturiser you should use depends on whether your skin is dehydrated or dry. If your skin is dehydrated it will be lacking in water and you will need to use an aqueous product – i.e. water based. If your skin is dry this means it is lacking in oil so you will need to use an oil based product. You may also want to check the ingredients in products as some ingredients such as lanolin can sensitise some skins and products containing lots of alcohol can strip the skin of sebum – the skins natural oil. Being pregnant, if you are a bit nervous about what to put on your skin you could always see your doctor, dermatologist or beauty therapist for further advice. Hope this helps Peggy – best wishes with the ‘little one’. - Sam Lotions n Potions Beauty Salon 6 Denham Road, S11 8NE
