What is dehyrated skin?
Dehydrated skin is skin that does not have enough moisture. This can leave your skin feeling tight, itchy or flaky. Dehydrated skin can be caused by a number of factors:
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy can cauase a number of hormonal changes, which can lead to dehydrated skin.
- Stretching of the skin: AS your baby grows, your skin stretches. This can damage the skin barrier.
- Diet: Too much sugar
- Lack of sleep: Having a new little one can be stressful causing lack of sleep. Getting enough sleep helps us to retain moisture.
