What is a good lotion to use after pregnancy for skin firming and dryness?

I had my son 6 weeks ago and my skin is seriously dry. I’ve tried using Dove and Oil of Olay body wash and I use Jergens Skin Firming lotion and Palmer’s Cocoa Butter firming cream. It seems to work at first then a couple of hours later, my skin is dry again.Also, I haven’t noticed any firmness happening. Help!

So called firming lotions are not miracle workers, they can only do so much, and they generally take a long time. If your skin is very dry then you could try using a cream rather than a lotion (the heavier textured creams are more moisturising than the lotions) or you could go to your GP if it is really problematic and they will probably suggest something more effective than the cosmetic creams you can buy. Skin moisture levels are also due to diet, so make sure yours is as healthy as possible, and remember that it does need to include some fats. Fats and oils are a vital part of any diet, and can make a big difference to the condition of your skin and hair.
