Moisturizer: Drinking water is great for the body but does not treat dry skin alone. Apply moisturizer to skin morning and night, especially after showering/baths to trap the water in your skin. Additionally, use mild cleanser instead of strong soaps, avoid cleansers with alcohol, consider a humidifier ;a facial exfoliating cream. If moisturizing does not help, see your md to rule out other causes of dryness.
