I have very dry skin as well. I use a gentle soap such as Cetaphil, but any soap with lotion is good; like Dove. You don't want a soap that will not dry you out. After a shower, pat dry, don't rub. Immediately use a good lotion like Curel, Cetaphil lotion or Aveeno. Personally I like Olay Quench therapy. Drink lots of water and use lotion repeatedly thru out the day.

I use Cetaphil Creme right after showering. Try not to use to hot of water when you bathe, it drys the skin too.

Avon has an 8 hour foot creme that always helps with my extremely dry skin! =)

I also get the extremely dry skin from meds. My solution tends to be drinking lots and lots of water and religiously applying Aveeno for the body and Oskia products for the face. Repeat throughout the day! :)

Some folks say that taking omega iii fish oil helps the skin. I don't know if this is verified or not. Also remember to dring enough water during the day.

Try glaxal base and like everyone else mentioned, lots of water. Good luck :)
