Scrub gently to get rid of cracked and dead skin. This way you can get an even and clean canvas to absorb all the nutrients you are goint to put on top. The one i recommend is the St. Ives Oat one.
Next is toner, you can use an alcohol free one to avoid skin getting drier. The one im using is the Neutrogena alcohol free toner that has blue bottle.
Serum, this one is optional just put on any serum.
Moisturaizer, cream type one
Top it off with thick layer of aloe vera gel to lock in all the moisture. Sleeping mask does the work too, just pick the one you like.
Drink a bunch of water to hydrate from the inside.
Watch your diet. Be more careful about what goes into your body. Avoid excessive sugar and fried foods.

I guess thats all i can give, hope it helps.

Dry and flaky skin is a common complaint in the winter time. Cold, dry winter air sucks the life out of silky, smooth skin. Other factors that contribute to dry skin include aging, nutritional deficiencies, and a genetic predisposition.

There ar many lotions and moisturizers on the market to combat dry skin. But most of them come with a big price tag. Natural home remedies are not only cheap, but also quite effective in nourishing and hydrating dry skin back to a healthy state.

Use or apply:

Olive Oil and Egg Yolk
Coconut Oil
Lemon Juice and Sugar
Avocado and Honey
Banana and Yogurt
Almond Oil
Castor Oil
Petroleum Jelly and Glycerin
Curd
Aloe Vera

Yes, it can be very irritating and annoying as I personally experienced it myself.

First of all, it’s really important to know the actual causes of your dry and cracked skin. The simple reason is the lack of hydration!

This can be due to cold weather, the use of heaters in closed areas in winters, hot baths, swimming in chlorinated pools, and sometimes even chemically produced soaps and detergents.

If your skin condition is serious, it is possible it could be inherited or maybe a bacterial infection.

Witnessing burning, redness, and skin bumps can be really stressful. For the more serious cases where you battle skin ailments, the smart choice is to visit a specialist.

However, most of us deal with mild to moderate dry skin that can be kept under control with the right regime. The right skin can make your skin appear more managed, polished, and smooth.

Bathe gently with warm, not hot, water, and do not over-use soap. Apply a good cream or lotion to skin while it is still damp.

If no improvement within a week, I’d see a dermatologist.

Dry skin (xerosis) is a common condition with many causes. Dry skin can be a symptom that indicates a more serious diagnosis. But in most cases, dry skin is caused by environmental factors that remove moisture from the skin. Heat, hot showers, arid climates, and harsh soaps can all trigger dry skin. But, there’s a lot you can do to address dry skin and restore moisture using home remedies.
