20 weeks pregnant with very dry skin on stomach and breast..?!
Question: I mixed some vitamin E oil with my stretch mark cream and put that on everyday but it doesn't help with my increasingly dry skin..It itches but I refrain from scratching because I read that it will lead to stretch marks.. Are they any "tricks of the trade" to help with this situation or tips on what to do to avoid getting stretch marks??

You could try taking oral vitamin E, talk with your doctor about dosing and side effects before doing so. Also try using oatmeal based bath products while showering/bathing. Baby oil right after showering/bathing before drying off may help lock in moisture also.
Cocoa butter does wonders on dry skin and stretch marks.
Johnson & Johnson 24 hour moisture baby lotion - best stuff on earth! they mean it when they say 24 hour moisture! =)
*I personally like the shea and cocoa butter one...!
