hi, welcome to HCM,
dryness after pregnancy is linked with hormones. estrogen level is high during pregnancy and suddenly drops down after birth resulting in drier skin.
use non-drying body wash at bath - OTC shower gels are good for this.
apply emollient (Oilatum) all over the body just after bath and at night.
heating the room also makes your skin drier. put a bowl of water in room to maintain humidity.
hope this will help you.
thanks
