Relief For Dry Skin

Upon the advice of some of my readers, I got myself a jar of Vaseline petroleum jelly to apply on my skin. Though it has brought some relief, but my skin is still peeling quite badly and I have just realized that my dry and itchy skin could be caused by the air conditioner. During the day when I am downstairs where there is no air cond, my skin does not itch much. However, when I am in my room when the air cond is switched on OR when I am at my gynae's office where the air cond is freezing OR when I am at the shopping malls or church, my skin itches like mad. So I think I now know the cause of my dry, peeling and itchy skin. So am I willing to give up the air cond yet? I don't know, I am just so used to sleeping in an air cond room. Perhaps I will give it a try tonight. After all, everyone will benefit from a non air cond room coz the gals' paed has advised us many times NOT to put them to sleep in an air cond room due to their sensitive nose and throat.

Any relief for itchy peeling skin?

My dry and peeling skin is becoming from bad to worse. The peeling skin is causing my skin to itch terribly too. It's so itchy till I can't sleep at night. The Palmer's cocoa oil and the Jojo E oil do not seem to bring much relief. I had to wake up last night to apply oil on my legs, arms and buttocks to relief the itching. I feel as if I have to keep feeding my skin with oil to stop it from itching and peeling. I normally apply the oil after my bath but within 2 hours, my skin will turn dry and peeling again. So can you imagine me having to apply oil to my skin every few hours to relief the itching? This morning at church, I was scratching my arms and legs away during the service. I felt terribly uncomfortable and I am sure people seated next to me realized that too and I wonder what they were thinking of.

I would appreciate it if someone could recommend a proven relief for dry and itching skin for pregnant women, eermm... something that smells pleasant hopefully!

Feeling Thirsty And Dry

Apart from having really dry and peeling skin, today I'm feeling really thirsty and I've been gulping down mugs and mugs of plain water, yet the thirst is insatiable. I don't think I am dehydrated as I drink like a camel, though now I don't drink as much as I used to before I was preggers. Not only is my skin peeling, my lips are also cracking. When I met my friend this morning as I was walking to the van to buy pork and vege, she too noticed that I look dry. Gosh, I look aweful - skin peeling and lips cracking. I look like a sick cat. Wonder what's wrong with me, sei lor!! Hope not gestational diabetes or some serious ailments.
