I am 30 yrs old with two kids and am very unhappy about my skin. I have scaly skin on legs and stretch marks on most parts like stomach, breast and buttocks. The elasticity of my skin is almost like gone. I hae shapely body and i have come back to my pre pregnancy body shape. So u can imagine how much my skin had to contract. That might be the reason for the stretch marks. I am physically active mom and try to do some exercise/dance at times. Every day after bath i put mosituriser all over the body and at times put olive oil in little quantity.
Still within hours my skin is dry and scaly and if i pull a little skin from my ankle etc the skin will take few seconds to go back to its position. I am consciously drinking lots of water . As always my body is very hot..even the gold ornaments become dull very soon on my body.
Have been trying to drink lots of water, do exercises, apply moisturisers every now and then. Please help. Its very em barrassing for me to have a skin like this. The face looks dull and so does my hands and feet. sandya replied. A, check to see if you have any eczema conditions. Your case does seem a little extreme, so it might be a good idea to consult a dermatologist to see what he/she might have to say about it. If you have sensitive skin, then you are only aggravating your condition by using the regular store brand moisturizers etc.. If you do have sensitive skin then you need to be using creams only meant for your type of skin as recommended by the dermatologist. The rest of what you seem to be doing looks good to me. Good luck with everything.
