How do I deal with dry and flaky skin postpartum?

Postpartum skin changes, including intense dryness, are often linked to low estrogen levels and hormonal fluctuations. Keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using heavy-duty moisturizers like MaxRich or Venusia Max. Incorporating Omega-3 supplements and checking your Vitamin D levels with your doctor may also help. Applying coconut oil or almond oil to damp skin immediately after a shower can lock in moisture effectively. If you develop persistent dry patches or signs of eczema, consult a dermatologist for appropriate medicated creams.
