I recently found out that I was pregnant and my skin is soo dry I was just wondering if this is cause of the pregnancy or the fact that the humidity in the air has went down. It is exceptionally dry compared to the past. Just curious♥

Definatly from being pregnant. The baby needs all your minerals and vitamins. The 1st trimester you will usually experience dry skin and hair, but once you get on the prenatal vitamins and you should also take folic acid to help prevent any birth defects your hair, skin, and nails will be as healthy as ever.

Don't know if this will help, but my wife has dry skin all the time. The one thing she has found that she says REALLY helps is Olay MoistuRinse, which is a lotion you put on while you're in the shower. I have noticed that her skin doesn't seem as dry since she has started using it. Might be worth a try...
P.S. May God bless your husband the Marine, and you his wife, and all your children (be they already here or on the way) for all you do in the name of the United States.

It could be because of both reasons....However the pregnancy can do that with u....My advice is to buy this product it is called AVEENO They have a powder that u can put in you bath water , they have a liquid body wash and lotion too. It will help with the dry skin , it can be found on wall mart , pharmaplus and shoppers drug mart

The things that happen to your body when you are pregnant are never ending... :o) My skin has definitely been dry since I got pregnant.... not my face... but my legs, hands, feet, etc...

Yeah I did during my first pregnancy and seem to be this time too. Try Palmers cocoa butter lotion, it really helps.
