My pregnancy is causing me to have super dry skin but on top of that either from pregnancy hormones or from what cleanser I'm using is causing me to break out... currently using gariner nourishing oil...and when I use an acne wash or moisturizer my skin becomes drier... please help this is very frustrating... I usually have oily/combo skin and I'm 29 if that helps.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that! I have a few suggestions that have worked for me when my skin was breaking out/getting super dry and dehydrated. Try using a cleanser without sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), as it's a commonly used detergent in cleansers that strips the skin of moisturize. I'd also use the cleanser with a washcloth or a konjac sponge to gently exfoliate your skin as a way to prevent break outs. you might also want to look into moisturizers that have hylauronic acid. it's a humectant that hydrates the skin without irritating or breaking out the skin. it might also be a good idea to use a softening toner before your moisturizer to help your moisturizer absorb better.
I hope you find a solution that works for you

Try using jojoba oil and then your moisturizer a put the oil on while your skin is still damp you also use a hyaluronic acid serum it helps hydrate your skin from the inside out

Great advice from Traci, as usual! Jessica I totally understand my skin feels as soft as that of a crocodile in the winter, without the pregnancy hormones but with breakouts as well. The oil is amazing.

Sorry for the late response ladies... any suggestions... I don't shop really at the high end stores so if you have any drugstore suggestions that would be great.
