I lived most of my life with skin troubles. I had acne from the time I hit puberty up until I had my first daughter. Pregnancy somehow offered me the chance to be a grown woman in her thirties with clear skin. Not that I am complaining. But until then, I worried over red blotches in my already blotchy skin.

Dry skin is no fun. Take it from a woman with a long history of sensitive skin prone to eczema and contact rashes. I have lived a lifetime battling dry skin. One time, my eczema got so bad it covered my whole body. Seriously, head to toe. That was my very first trip to the dermatologist and the beginning of my journey through proper skincare. My sister struggles as well, and her primary complaint is the dry skin around the nose. It can be such a pain, and it can cause additional problems. Dry skin often...
