How is your skin/hair, post-op people? My skin is incredibly dry, I am off to have a facial in the morning. Hair is a little dry as well.

Nowadays, my hair and skin are in great condition for what is normal for me - I've never ever had a problem with oily skin or hair, I tend to be quite dry and I do get a bit scaly at times.

But for a while there, my hair was just snapping off, it was incredibly dry and i had to chop it all off much shorter. That all passed though.

i take Biotin.. for my hair... so far so good...

My skin was dry the first couple of days post-op, but it was because I was dehydrated. Are you drinking enough water?

I am starting to take some coconut oil (organic/virgin) every day which is suppose to be great for your hair/skin. I haven't taken it long enough to see results but I have heard a lot of good things about it. I add it to my shakes. There is a lot of research that suggests that it is good for you, even though it is saturated fat. I don't have cholesterol problems so I figured I would try it.

I take Biotin too... anything to help! :-)

Thanks girls... I went and had a lovely hour-long facial and massage today and my skin is feeling much better. Could have been dehydration. I'll make sure I keep up the moisturiser and try to drink more water :-)

omg i thought this was just me.. my face is so dry.. im using estee lauder day and night wear.. but i put it on and my face burns.. never did prior to this.. maybe i am dehydrating, im gonna make a effort to drink more water till friday when i have my post op appt.. thank you for posting this!
